Why would it destroy their program? Has getting completely owned two years in a row in scrimmage against Trinity killed Highlands program? No...stupid thread!

I saw the Highlands Trinity scrimmage in 2010. It came down to the last play of the game. Last years scrimmage was competitive for the first half, especially considering Highlands had several starters, including both WR's and 2 OL who didn't play. The rotation of the defensive line was also about 10 players deep, which is not normal for a game.

To answer your question, this years scrimmage IMO did have a negative impact on the first half of the first game. Highlands came out doubting themselves and went into the locker rooms down 24-15 and wondering what was wrong.

The game against Highlands isn't destroying Boyle's program, but I do think starting the season with a convincing loss is having a negative impact.
