I hate to say it but I am not that fired up about playing Rowan co in the rec bowl. I am more looking forward to the game because it kicks the season off. I just wish we could get the rec bowl back to the time when we had some of the elite teams come in and play not teams you see every year. I cant remember the year when we had Highlands and Trinty but that was top flight high school football.

Highlands beat Christian Co. in the Rec Bowl in 1982. CC went on to win AAAA state title with only the lose to Highlands. Highlands went undefeated and won AAA title and was the top ranked team in the state.

I was just reading an old article about that year, coach Herrmann talked about the road trips during the playoffs.He talked about the game at Russell,and "how it should serve as a reminder to all of us of how not to treat our visitors in the future." I remember that game well and still can not believe how adults acted. Just curious if Russell fans still act that way?, they were an embarassment to the school and the community.
