The years JLO played were very good teams, but the program as a whole is better over the past 10 years. People on here are talking about the number of D1 players, but that is not how Highlands wins championships. Highlands takes scrony kids, and makes them into maniacs,who play team ball. Highlands kids commit 100% to football year around now. It was not like that until recently. Sadly it has really hurt the other sports at Highlands, because very,very few football players play another sport. It has completely killed the track program.This program is just not having down years because of the total commitment to football. I like the fact that we are winning in football, buy it would be nice to see the coach encourage other sports in the off season(I know, there is no such thing at Highlands),and have Highlands competative in all sports.

There is not a thing you've described that is anymore new to a half dozen programs at some point in their history. I mentioned D1 players because that is always a subject worth mentioning. As to the concept that no one else knows what this is like in their past, might want to see some Trinity runs and even the Boyle run from '99 to '04. :Thumbs:

You use the 10 year window but the truth is that Highlands current run is really for the last four years only. 10 years ago would have been 2001 and in those years of 01 and 02 the Birds were not contenders. Same was true in '05 and '06.
