Thank you Wide Right. That is truly all we were asking for ...a little respect. Those kids worked hard and left it all on the field. Had the fumble been ruled a touchdown (as it should have been) we had a whole different ball game. With that said...no looking back. Both teams had excellent seasons that both towns should be very proud of. We knew that this would be an uphill battle with a team that has consistently proven their championship title worthiness.

As far as Highlands kids running over to FS side...maybe they were trying to get to the field but they were shouting YOU SUCK to their opponents fans. Now, 20 years ago that would have meant a full fledged brawl. As for parents hitting those kids....never saw that but I did see a bunch of parents stand between students and hurry Highlands kids back down to the other end. they should have never crossed that line...it was tacky, rude, and showed little respect to an opponent who fought fiercely to be there.

On another note, Congratulations to Highlands for what looks to be one of the best state championship bids on record. Keep up the good work!

And for Franklin-Simpson....Wildcat Pride never dies!
