Just read back through all the posts, and there is only one poster predicting close games in 4A, and he (or she) plays the role of alarmist every season, so do with that what you will.

To be clear, Highlands is beatable every season. Whether they get beat or not depends on whether their opponents have the coaching, players, preparation, game planning, conditioning and execution to pull it off. If memory serves, the last time it happened was the 2010 season at Ryle, where the Raiders had all the components listed above and snapped the Birds' winning streak.

A loss like last night smarts, but as of this post, HHS is back at it, and will soon be studying film in order to get better. Next week's game against Boyle will be a much better barometer of this team's chances in 4A this season.

hey i call em like i see them, she or he or heshee. Highlands tackled worse than i have ever seen. and the O couldnt do anythng. I know trinity is crazy good but they looked like a 8th grade team going against varsity.

of course after that boyle lex cath and cov cath are licking their chops. Birds will probably beat these teams, we'll have to see but those other teams just got some confidence.

Also the birds got exactly what they needed. Now they know they can be beat and the hardest working team in ky hs football will be working extra hard for the next 15 weeks.
