How to build a high school football powerhouse

Linda Thomas:

Creating a successful football program is more about the culture - which starts at a very young age for players and families - than it is about the current team.

710 ESPN's Brock Huard, a former Husky and former Seahawk, says the sport today is much different than when he was playing high school football in Puyallup.

"They've got kids that start at 6, 7, 8 years old in their feeder programs and it is a machine," Huard says. "The investment they make at a young age, all the way through, running the same system, doing the same drills, working towards that same goal of winning state championship after state championship is what they're about."

"This is a higher achieving area," adds Coach Taylor. "The families take education, and life in general, more seriously and they have high expectations. Whatever it is you do, you put your best foot forward."

Skyline Quarterback Max Browne is putting his best arm forward, on the verge of setting a new state passing record.

Spartan number 4 is considered the number 1 high school quarterback in the country.
