Well thank you for your respect,but i dont buy into cycles. programs like Boyle,and Highlands reload they don't rebuild.thats why they're two of the top programs in the state year in and year out.in most states you have a hand full of programs that are the elite programs in the state they are just on another level than the rest of the schools they compete against.i think thats where Boyle,and Highlands are at.

Sure they reload, but very, very few teams reload to the same lofty levels they might have had in prior years. And that's what we are talking about here. In a couple of years when Trinity's excellent Junior class graduates, Trinity will still be Trinity and they will reload but I seriously doubt that they will be a good as they are this year and likely will be next year. That type of talent just doesn't come around every year at any school.

Some people (including some Highlands people) think that just because their team was very good last year, they automatically will be as good (or better) this year. That isn't always the case. Personally, I think at this point some Highlands folks are over estimating how good we are AT THIS POINT in the seaspm. They remember the 09 season and the fact that no Ky team really challenged us. They remember us blowing out Christian County in the state game last year. But they forget beating an average CovCath team by only a touchdown last year; they forget being a dropped pass in the endzone from being beaten by Johnson Central last year; they forget being on the ropes with Dixie last year in the playoffs. In spite of the impressive championship win, Highlands very easily could have not made the trip to BG last year. Sometimes we, and I'm sure sometimes some Boyle fans, can get too wrapped up in our past success and become convinced by emotion that the team we support is better than logic would demand. Is that the case with Boyle or Highlands this year? We'll find out Friday, but I can't understand the illogical blow out predictions by fans of either team at this point.

There are cycles in talent at all schools. The highs and lows aren't as severe at the powerhouse programs, but they are there.
