“Dude…is coach trying to kill us?” James asked, with a line of sweat already forming on his brow.
“I wouldn’t doubt it, that man is crazy,” Mike Manning replied, the offensive tackle was already dripping sweat as well. If anybody had seen him they would’ve thought practice was already over. “There’s no way in hell that I’m gonna practice in this.” Mike waved his arm towards the field.
“Oh really Manning?” Coach Adam Ross appeared behind him. “ If you want, you can just run for the entire practice, I really don’t care.”
Mike looked down at his cleats, not saying a word.

Some of you may have heard of it, its called the Oklahoma drill.” His smile widened. “The concept is simple enough. On each side of these ropes we are going to have an offense and defense. Offense at the top of the ropes, defense at the bottom. Running backs are going to line up behind and offensive lineman, and a defensive lineman is going to get in his stance in front of the oline with a linebacker behind him.

    378 Jump shots bouncing off the rim, passes to the wrong team, a silence where one could hear a penny drop, and the word “BASELINE” is what I remember from practice two days before the Highland Park game.

After a few minutes of this nonsense, Coach McKendrick told our team to get on the baseline to run. However, it was not because we were playing poor.
