[Thunder 44]

Touche. I hope the showing the next time is better............that game was a slaughter.

Honestly speaking, after last year's attrition I have reservations about this season. However, I will reserve judgement until I can see them on the field. Anytime you put 10 starters on the all area team, including your entire offensive line, and lose 8 of them to graduation there are significant voids to fill, and replacing an O-line takes time to gell.

Overall, by the 2-deep at the state tourney we will be losing 8 starters on offense, 6 on defense, with a couple of those spots boys going both ways.
How does Highlands look from last year to this year?

Just looked at the 2-deep on the State Tournament site, and by that, Highlands is losing 7 on both sides of the ball, but none were going both ways. Due to injuries last season, there were a lot of players who saw significant playing time during the season and should be really comfortable starting this year.
