Man, you're an idiot. You just go with that idea because of what you've seen on TV or heard. Have you been to any of those states and watched any of the USA top 25 teams? I have, and Highlands and definitely Trinity fit in there in my book, easily.

Heck, I've been all over the country, during football season, and whenever I hear of a top team coming close to me, I try to go and watch it. I'd say I've watched more out of state football than in state(Kentucky), besides playing in the games. Those teams you mention in Florida are for the most part overrated. I'd say only 2-4 teams in Florida are better than Highlands, and another 2-4 would be a tossup.

Ohio schools are better than California schools, I don't care what anyone says, it's fact. Hell, in my opinion, Arizona football programs are better than Cali's. When my team played Chapparel(Scottsdale, AZ) in the state semi-finals in 2007, I was amazed at the skill they had. And still, they only beat us by two scores. We were top 10 in Arizona, they were #4 in the country.

Highlands and Trinity both belong in the USA Top 25. If not, we'll see. But right now, in my opinion, they belong there, and there sure as hell isn't 20-30 Cali, Florida and Texas schools better than them. Texas and Florida are legit top 5 football states, but Cali? hahahaha.

Stop reading ESPN The Magazine and actually look at these teams and do some scouting before you hate on KY schools compared to damn overrated California.

:gtfo:

So much wrong with this post. Highlands in most years would get ran off the field by atleast 10 teams in Florida. After that Highlands would most certainly stay with a lot of Florida teams. Some people need to remember that a little more than a few years ago a division 3 team from Columbus smacked Highlands two years in a row. It was down right ugly. I guess the next thing you'll be telling us is Boyle Co is a top 50 team.

Louisville Trinity would be a top 10 team in Texas every single year. They play limited defense in that state and Trinity offense fits right in. California football has some great coaching and great quarterbacks and a boat load of talent.
