The receivers are quick to tell you, Griswold High School is going to set up the run with the pass if they can.
And Griswold coach Glenn LaBossiere does little to change that notion as he has been working on installing a new offense for the Wolverines, the run-and-shoot. Although in Griswold's case, the shoot may come before the run.
"It could be, we want to keep people on their toes," LaBossiere said with a little chuckle thrown in. "We don't want to have 11 in the box all the time and have people try and stop the run. We ran a little of it at the end of last season."
But it didn't stop there as LaBossiere continued to perfect his offensive overhaul over the course of the winter and really introduced it in spring football.
One thing about the run-and-shoot; it's an offense that doesn't provide optimum protection with, generally, no tight ends and only one full back. That means your quarterback has to be able to make quick reads. LaBossiere feels he has that in junior signal-caller Sean Brackett.
"I said last year that I don't think there's a better quarterback around than Sean," the Griswold coach said.
"He makes the reads, he's a smart kid and puts the ball where it needs to be. He doesn't fall in love with one receiver, he tries to spread it around. We'll also start running it with some of the younger kids so that we'll be ready when he graduates."
