[Wise one]

Highlands committed three first half turnovers, two interceptions in the end zone and a fumble by the QB, but still lead 16-13 at the half.

Ashland did play a good first half, holding Highlands to just two scores. They had one sustained drive for their first TD and one long run for the second TD. They went for 2 on the second TD but were denied.

In the second half, Highlands showed why they are Highlands. Ashland players were gassed halfway thru the third qtr.

You cannot have as many players playing both ways as Ashland had and expect to stay with Highlands. Highlands has no player playing both ways. Highlands' kickoff unit does not appear to have any starting D players on the unit.
