I think alot of Boyle fans think this is the same Highlands program of 10 years ago. I am not saying Boyle won't give Highlands a good game or even beat them, but I hope they realize that HHS has taken huge steps forward as a program since a decade ago. I do not know if the same can be said for Boyle. Looking forward to a possible good rivalry.

I hear that and believe it to be true to some extent.

What people forget outside of Boyle is that in the last 3 seasons the Rebels have produced some comparable talent with any team, even Highlands.

2008 Boyle produced TE Jordan Aumiller whom you now see catching balls from Hartline on Saturdays in a UK uniform.

2009 Rees McSheara (sp?) who was an awesome High School baller, just considered too small for Division 1 programs.

2010 Lamar Dawson, the #1 LB prospect in the state of KY.

All of this has been supported by some very good talent that may not be Division 1 but has been some fine High School talent. I know the run that HHS has had and no non-Birdie can respect it more than me. However to think that Boyle is not as talented as the 2003 or 2004 team is not very accurate IMO. While the Rebels had the Smith kid at QB and Seth Tamme, Ian Young and others - none of them have been the Division 1 prospects that Aumiller and Lawson have been. :Thumbs:
