[Hatz]

I think everyone's hatred for Highlands is getting in the way of their thinking. Like a couple of people have said, we had some injuries in the scrimmage we played. Not to mention, it was just that - a SCRIMMAGE. Honestly, I think with everybody full force and us playing our BEST game, we beat Trinity by 2 - 3 scores. But that's at our BEST.

I don't have any hatred for the Birds. Great respect here. But I do think you are blinded by your love of your team and can't think objectively in this matchup.

If you want to go by just what was accomplished in the season, great. Compare schedules and results.

You be the honest judge in showing the superiority of the Birds even on their BEST day vs. the Rocks.

Highlands had 2 games that were five point wins. (In other words, one play by the other team and they are behind).

Trinity's closest margins of victory were 10 points and 22 points.

Best out of State wins for Birds: 5 points over a 2-8 Elder squad.
Trinity bested them 56-7. Injuries or not, that's a big, big difference.

Best out of State wins for Rocks: St Xavier (cincy) finished 10-4 losing to Rocks 41-6.
Indy Cathedral (12-3) lost to Rocks 36-14.
Brentwood finished 9-3 but lost to Trinity 45-7.



The facts just don't back up your claims.
