Florida H.S. Greats
"Belly Play 246"
In the 1973 Florida 4A Football Championship game, Hollywood Hills led Jacksonville Raines 14-9 in the third quarter.
HH head coach Dick Saltrick and assistant coach Matt Lococo noticed how far Raines was playing off of the ball on defense so they drew up a new blocking scheme for Belly Play 246.
(See diagram below)
They had Pat Moran (RG - #78) do a reach block on Raines' left defensive tackle (LDT) to try and turn him to the inside.
It was asking a lot for him to execute this type of block.
However, Moran pulled it off, freeing Mike Hornreich (RT - #60) and Mike Guido (TE - #88) to take Raines' Charley "Horse" Williams (LLB) out of the play.
Williams was one of Florida's best linebackers in 1973.
Right halfback Dave Esack (#40) kicked out the defensive end (LDE), left halfback Viven Coney (#22) took the handoff from John Kurowski (#11) and raced 47-yards before being brought down.
Hollywood Hills ran the play twice more on the drive: a 17-yard touchdown, then the two-point conversion for the clinching score in their 22-9 victory.
Hollywood Hills won 26-consecutive games in 1973-74 and the '73 squad is considered one of the Sunshine State's finest teams ever!
