Both games were very close until the 2nd half and could have gone either way. Considering over the past 2 seasons that Highlands has absolutely punished teams by outrageous margins, 14 and 21 points are considered very close. The Bluebirds respect JC more than they may think.

I know the scores were reachable at half time but a game is played in both halves.

Was the score last year not 42-14 very late?

I think Johnson Central is doing all the right things to be a state contender and program. But to call out Highlands as a rivalry after two games that were not contests in the 2nd half is premature imo.
