by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

Just me at 6 P.M. EST for the latest edition of the National High School Coaches Association Sports Hour.

My co-host Trish Hoffman and I will be talking high school football, boys basketball and wrestling.

Joining us on the show will be former NFL quarterback Gus Frerotte, who was just hired as the head football coach at John Burroughs School in St. Louis. Frerotte, who played with seven NFL teams, has been the school's quarterbacks' coach during the past two seasons.

Last year, John Burroughs finished runner-up in Missouri's Class 3.

Also on show will be 2010 High School Rudy Award winner Chance Anthony of Breckinridge County High School in Kentucky. Anthony was a two-way starter on this year's football team in spite of the fact that he was born without the lower part of his right arm.

Gus Frerotte, who played for seven different NFL teams during his career, is now a high school football head coach.

Frerotte has been hired by John Burroughs School in St. Louis.  For the past two years, the former St. Louis Ram (also played for Cincinnati, Denver, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota and Washington) quarterback has been an assistant coach for the Bombers.

Frerotte takes over for Todd Small, who retired at the end of the season after leading the team to a runner-up finish in Missouri's Class 3. Small was 44-21 in six seasons as head coach.

MSHSAA Looking at New High School Football Playoff Format

by Jeff Fisher
Missouri High School Football Huddle

Jeff McNiell of the Houston Herald is reporting today that the Missouri State High School Activities Association is going to examine whether to abandon the current playoff system for a new format.

The 2011 season will mark the fourth year in a four-year trial period for a playoff system that advances the two top teams from each district to the post-season.

According to McNiell's story, the MSHSAA is requesting input from its member schools about the current system and two other options.  Aside from the current system, another option is to return to the playoff system used from 1988 to 2007, which qualified one team from each four-team district.  The other is to play a nine-game regular season with the 10th week starting a tournament that would involve every team in the state.
