A head coach at Lancaster High School for the past 20 years, Hoch took time out from enjoying this small-town atmosphere to share his success story with us.<br><br>BFS: Coach Hoch, you ve been at Lancaster about 20 years, and you ve said the football team wasn t very good at the time you started. What was the reaction from the Lancaster community when you signed on? <br>JH: When I came, Lancaster was primarily a baseball town, and in a small community you usually have just one sport to choose from. It took us a while to overcome that stigma, but the community has been very supportive.<br><br>BFS: How long did it take to build a winning team? <br>JH: It took us about six years to really become competitive, and I felt that in 1988 we finally turned the corner. In 1989 the school built us a good-sized weight room and wrestling facility---an 80 by 40-foot space. Before that, our weight room was only about 10 feet by 20 feet. That helped us tremendously. <br><br>BFS: When you assign a position to an outstanding athlete, do you fit the athlete into a position you need, or into a position that you think he would do best at in college?<br>JH: We fit the athlete to what we need, just becase there are so few who go on to the next level. <br><br>BFS: Do you platoon your good athletes or do you have them play both ways?<br>VH: We platoon, but the kids pretty much have their choice as to what position they get to play.<br><br>BFS: What is your rationale for limiting them to one position?<br>JH: We think we get more out of our kids this way. We started platooning in 1996, and I think it s one reason we had a big jump in the success of our football program.<br>BFS: How did platooning help?<br>BJ: Our offensive and defensive players don t see much of each other, so if our athletes went both ways they would miss out on so many reps of what they could do. Also, platooning allows us to use all our good kids on special teams because we don t have to rest them.<br><br>BFS: What type of offense do you run?<br>JH: On offense we run a wishbone offense, multiple <br>set---the backfield moves all over the place.<br><br>BFS: Is it similar to the flexbone used at the Air Force Academy?<br>JH: Yes, but ours probably has a little more freedom than the offense used at the Acad
