I must have struck a nerve with a Highland fan....as you well know Highland is an INDEPENDENT school in a county with a population of over 80,000. (1.) According to your calculation of Ft. Thomas population...1% of them play high school football at Highlands. Really???? (2.) Simpson Co. doesn't even get close to 1/4 of a percent. Must be a very young population. Bowling Green (another powerhouse) is also an INDEPENDENT school. Some of Centrals best athletes end up at Bowling Green High...as I am sure some of Campbell counties best players go to Highland because of their success in football. Hence...recruiting...not that the school itself actually does this. I live in Simpson Co. and if I wanted my child to go to Bowling Green High...there is not a rule that can stop me. Therefore, the comparison is a little lop-sided so to speak. FS only gets the boys from their county. So, here is to Franklin-Simpson (David) who will meet Goliath this weekend. Go Cats!

(1.) 84/16,495=0.00509, not 1% If you include the 52 that are on the freshman team, 136/16,495=0.0082, still not 1%


(2.) Whose fault is that? 47/17,019=00.276, MORE than 1/4 of a percent.

There are FIVE other high schools in Campbell County (excluding Campbell County HS) that are within 30 minutes WALKING distance of Highlands. If the Birds were doing anything untoward, don't you think they would be screaming to high heaven???
