“You do an extension, that doesn’t mean you stopped for one moment writing the new farm bill. It just means that an extension for a year will carry us until the new bill is passed.”

One advantage of running the same system each year is the ability to plug in new players to the lineup with little or no lost momentum from the previous season.
“We have a system and everyone knows that system. It’s been here for years and we run it throughout the summer and in everything we do. We have guys come in here and they know their roles, they know the system and they know what their expectations are.
“From there we just plug in any holes we have the best we can,” said El Reno head coach Rodney Haydon.
