GameState

Decision system for high school football.
Sideline charts. Booth app.
2-Point • 4th Down • Clock Management
Master situations. Win Fridays.

Every coach has stood on the sideline and guessed.

Go for 2 or kick it? Punt or go? Kneel it out or run one more?

I got tired of guessing — so I built the charts I always wanted on my own call sheet.

For the calls that decide Friday nights — you can find them here👇

Typically Monday we worked P&10, 3rd down on Tuesday, Redzone Wednesdays. Definitely depends on what our opponent is showing but also we use self scout to monitor how many situations we get a game and script from there. For example, we averaged four 3rd &1-2s a game so we make sure we’ve got those ready and we do that for the rest of the down and distances for each situation

Are you going for the PAT or Go For 2?

At GameState, you can have your booth go to the app or work the charts from the sidelines!

There is no two-minute warning in high school football except for in Texas.

Why do I bring it up? It means every timeout, every sideline play, and every clock-management decision near the end of a half has to be planned differently than what you see on Saturdays and Sundays.

It’s the logic behind the app.
GameState was built around a simple idea:

Good game management decisions shouldn’t be made for the first time on Friday night.

Here’s how the system evaluates situations:

An NFHS rule a lot of us forget: a missed field goal in high school isn’t dead at the spot like college.

Reaches the end zone? Touchback, ball at the 20. Falls short? The defense can return it or take it where it stops.

Do you factor that into fringe 4th down calls? We do.

How many coaches use anything other than an iPad on Friday nights in the booth?

Great article by @FB_FilmAnalysis.
Defensive Principles that create uncertainty late + great personnel = Bad day for offenses

Not a cowboys guy but excited to watch Downs play. He was electric.

Christian Parker is tasked with improving the Cowboys 32nd ranked defense in DVOA. The front office has done a good job of checking off Parkers' checklist of schematic archetypes but will it be enough?

If you could know only ONE thing before kickoff, what would it be?

Offense plays great?
Defense plays great?
Special teams play great?
Game management is flawless?

Which one helps you win the most games?

[GameState @CoachGameState]

Coaches! We just updated the app to our newest version! We have taken into account all feedback and are really happy with our latest adjustments!

Also, Texas coaches, we know you guys are different than NFHS! We are hoping to a launch a Texas version later this week!
