I have to agree. I have said that LCC, Harlan and other 5a have know idea what Highlands are about. However, just because you are up north, means nothing to me. Norhtern Ky football can come down here anytime. We love to have them on Log Mountain.

It's been said before, but I guess it needs to be said AGAIN, nobody from Harln Co. brought up Highlands in this thread. I feel comfortable enough to speak for LCC and Harlan Co both in saying that both these programs know exactly what Highlands football is about. Their record speaks for itself.

That being said, our players and coaches in Harlan County are working diligently to improve every day. Our boys have a goal just like every other football team in the state. Despite what some would suggest, I think we'll just continue to play football here in the mountains and work hard to make a run for that state championship. As shocking as it may be, the 2009 5A state championship trophy doesn't have Highland's name printed on it. That's why they play the game.

Our neigbors in Bell County have an opening for a game this year. Perhaps Highlands could mapquest their way to Log Mountain. Our team will be making a visit there this year. Our players and the fans are looking forward to this rivalry for years to come. I believe that we are in for another exciting year here in Harlan County. Make no mistake about it, our program is on the rise.
