While I couldn't attend the game, I can see some good things coming out of the game for Highlands:

1. contrary to what people think, inspite of the efforts of coaches, players being teenage kids often start believing the hype surrounding them. I'd say the Highlands players are a lot more grounded today than they were the day before they played CovCath. If they want to repeat, they better throw the hype away and concentrate. And I say that without wanting to take away anything away from CovCath, because....

2. CovCath is undoubtedly back. After the poor performances in 07, 08 and 09CovCath has proven last year and particularly this year, they are a contender to once again be taken very seriously. The weeks leading to the CovCath games in 07, 08 and 09 were actually rather relaxing for me, but it's kind of good that once again, the week leading up to the game against CovCath, will be one of anxiety and nerves. Welcome back Colonels.

3. Hopefully, some of the more overzealous Highlands fans on here (and the other sites) will start tempering their constant blow out predictions. Highlands is not the only program in 4A with very good coaches and very good, hard working, talented and committed players.
