I'll give Highlands it's due. They are one heck of a program. They win, win, and win more. That being said, they could have stopped at 4A and played and had much more competition than they do and have had in 5A. So I don't buy that argument at all. And some post I read where they wanted to stay with Cov Cath. Well, we know what kind of nose dive they have been in for years now. I won't argue the fact that they could win 4A but it sure wouldn't have been the cakewalk they've had in recent years.....

Staying with Cov. Cath. had nothing to do with moving up. Both Highlands and Cov.Cath. where geographically bound and if they both moved to 5A it would make a district.

With the new alignment for next year Highlands numbers wise is in 4A and there will be Cov. Cath. , Copper, and Holmes. Possibly Pendleton.

It was surprising to me how many 4A teams petitioned to move up. Don't know if any were allowed .

Highlands is very happy to be in 4A. There is great competition in 4A with Boyle, Johnson Central , Lex. Cath. Rockcastle, and Ashland etc.
