It would be kinda cool to see the players from these teams get together and organize a game between the two to be played. Probably wouldn't happen, but I always thought that would be a really awesome thing to see.

[rockfan11]

Elder was way down this year by THEIR standards. We did not play Cincy St. X, but they would have been a challenge, just like Louisville St. X (KY St. X beat OH St. X 7-3), but two years ago we played Cincy St. X and beat them 12 - 7. They beat both Trinity and St. X pretty bad that year.

I am saying that these are teams we have played over the course of the past five years or so from Ohio.

well if were comparing teams that highlands and st.xavier has played from 09, lets look at cov cath. highlands beat cov cath 36-7 in 09, st. x beat cov cath 63-7. looks like more domination. But that is just stupid, you cant compare teams on how they play other teams. thats like the number one rule in football predictions? you must be new to all this..

[birdman44]

What if USA Today hosted some kind of HS national championship final 4. Long weekend: let 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 play on thurs. and then a final on mon night? awesome for the kids, people would watch. Why not? Our nation has tried way worse things. If it sucks they dont do it the next year.

I'm not comparing scores dipshit. I simply said that team beat Trinity and St. X both pretty bad. So, obviously, that means that Cincy St. X was pretty damn good that year!

Wash out that mouth and learn to agree or disagree without using curse words and calling people names. Your not in seventh grade anymore so no one is impressed when you use less intelligent phrases to emphasis your point. :please:

[DragonFire]

I give you a lot of credit for playing St. X. Lets see if you continue to schedule them on their up years and when you are not as good as this year.

I'll stop back by real quick just to note that Bowling Green has played St. X or Trinity every year since 2005. Previously, their games against St. X were the local bowl game in BG. The Trinity games from 2007-2010 were home and homes. They did lose all six previously. Both losses to St. X were by around 1 TD, the Trinity losses were 10-17 points except for a 2 point loss to them last year.

Carry on.

I can call people what I want to call them. By the way, how does it feel to run an old school system that can't cut it with the big boys?

And to answer the person below you, I was more trying to respond to someone criticizing our weak schedule than put down BGs schedule. To play Louisville St. X, especially in their prime years, is a good add to any schedule.

[Blau Vogel]

Wideright, say no more until Highlands ventures into louisville and plays someone whos worth a damn, Highlands was in probably one of the weakest districts overall in 4A. BG beating St. X at St. X and Lex. Cath a Lex Cath proves alot to me as well as them slamming John Hardin...dont forget this BG team last year only lost to trinity 14-12 and this BG team this year is much better. ( and please before anyone swoops in no im not saying BG could hang with trinity this year. )

dont forget this BG team last year only lost to CHRISTIAN COUNTY by a couple...Highlands beat CC like a rented mule, 50 - 0 and this Highlands team is every bit as good.

YOU HAVE SOME MAJOR MENTAL ISSUES!!! if you honestly think highlands would get a running clock on BG!!!!!! We are number 2 in the state! We held Lex Cath to only 180 total offense!!! and Lex cath picked apart highlands D!!!!!!!

[macdon]

Watched a few minutes of the HHS/FS game and then a few minutes of the BG/AC game.

I am a BG alum and remember the games back in the early sixties when the Burts played for HHS and Dale Lindsey for BG.

In 2011 the result would be the same as 50 years ago. Highlands wins.

[JugheadJames]

If them Wickware boys from Franklin exposed Highlands, what would all those players from Bowling Green do? Also, I believe that defense from BG could possibly keep Highlands under 9000 yards of offense, unlike that bunch from Franklin. I saw both games at state....BG by a couple of scores.

Da Purples. Just my unbiased opinion.

[Bleedblue20]

Both teams are obviously strong without a doubt. But after watching both teams I would have to take BG. They have speed on speed on speed and have a balanced running and throwing attack. Before any Highlands fans jump all over my opinion, I do think it would be a great game with the amount of depth both teams show. I think BG's defense would win them this game. Fastest defense and relentless blitzing attack I've seen in a long time. Would love to see how Highlands would step up to the scheme of BG.

Their linemen would hold.

[meat loaf]

I do not know or think they would beat them by 3-4 TD's, but I do think HHS is not a good match up for BG. I feel BG would have a lot trouble stopping HHS passing game (or contain Towles). Yes, I think BG would have success running against HHS, but they could not keep up the scoring that HHS O would be capable of IMO. The one thing this year that would also help BG is HHS special teams are a lot weaker this year and could hurt them in this mythical game.

Both teams are good, I don't know why when you win a state championship that you have to try and match up against someone else. That being said you don't see Highlands asking if they could beat Bowling Green? From watching both I would say Highlands by at least two scores.

No one thinks HHS would put a running clock on BG. BG is the 5A state champions No. 2 in the state doesnt mean anything. That doesn't get written down anywhere.

And lastly Lex Cath got dominated by HHS. Defense was the little brother on the HHS team. Lex Cath might have gained a few more yards on us than you big woobidy. HHS offense is probably somewhere like 3rd in the nation. Ill give BG Def one stop with HHS O. Towles and company would light it up.

You guys really need to look at the Highlands offense numbers, you'll feel like fools.

Dominated??? How so Sir? On the scoreboard? Yes, Special teams? Yes, but on total offensive yards. HHS and LexCath placed 300 plus yards on each other. So is it safe to say that LexCath D was good enough to hang with the mighty one's powerful offense? HHS score 28 to LexCath 21. All I have heard is running clock, but yet your last 3 opponent has not been so.

[Da_Hamburgular]

I think you're just an unclassy pos period. Your mental.

Highlands wasn't as good without Sheehan as they were earlier in the season when he was playing. It did bring them back to the pack a bit. However, BG couldn't beat Highlands. Highlands is physically tougher. It's been proven over time. As soon as Highlands leaves 5A, all of the sudden the W. Ky teams now think they're better. They're a joke. Undisciplined W. Ky football can't beat Highlands. Highlands has a better scheme and smarter, tougher players.

You left out genetically superior.

You're on the edge....maybe time to take a step back.

You bring up a good point. A lot of people look at the last 3 games scores and do not look at the fact that HHS did change the offensive strategy. First having Sheehan out did hurt deep passing game. But biggest thing is HHS tends to get more conservative in the later rounds of the playoffs. If you look back at the last several years, it has always been this way. The passing game goes way down and the running game gets kicked into high gear. In the last 3 games,when up 2 scores, HHS is the team that went into playing keep the other teams offense off the field and burn clock. HHS coach is fine winning by 14 point margin, even if the fans would like too see a bigger point spread. Other than the Elder game this year, there was not a game that HHS did not have the game under control (also the first Cov Cath game). In the title game, HHS did not try a long pass. If they do,the might put 2 more scores on FS and win by a bigger margin. But that is not important to the coaching staff,winning a title is.

Awesome point.
Western Ky football has been down the past while. HHS cruised when meeting teams from this area the past 4 State Championships.

Bowling Green is a great team this year. Both teams are a just a hair or two below Trinity. both squads are 1: breathing a sigh of relief that they were in different classes. 2: wondering what playing in the greatest state championship game in KY history would have been like.

my man!!!!

[RunItUpTheGut]

I have no clue who would win and nobody ever will know.
In a way, Highlands would still have to get the edge, because nobody in 5A has come close to these guys over the last 5 years.
But, IMHO, BG is A LOT better than any of the former teams Highlands faced in the recent year where they dominated the rest of 5A.

Pretty much, i think this game would be a dandy if they played which is saying a lot about Highlands as theyve whipped ass in 5A the last few year before going to 4A and its also saying a lot about BG due to the fact they have finally assembled a team for the first time in years that could compete with these top not KY programs.

Hell, Congrats to both, who cares what order there in, all we know is Trinity is number one and these two are 2-3, it really doesnt matter which one is which.

[adopted purple]

Very good post.

[Cameraman]

Guys, don't fall into the troll trap. This is the same guy that thinks Highlands 56 points on Trinity...
