Congratulations again to my son's high school team, the Collins Titans for being KY 4A state runner-up! Last night his 3-year young school lost to excellent Highlands football program that to my understanding has the all-time most wins of any high school in the USA and currently has more state titles 22 than any other KY team. I would be interested in knowing what FTH Coach Dale's recipe for success is so that other schools in KY could do their best to emulate it. I think they are one of their smaller schools in 4A, but have so many more players than most teams. I was impressed with their receivers, their lineman were quite bigger than our guys (nothing new) and their speedy RB - who happened to be the son of a 1987 Shelby Cty Champion team member (honored at halftime). They outnumbered us 122 to 54, they rotated fresh guys every play, we played many both ways. Our guys never gave up, kept playing hard, even though they were worn out. Thankfully there were no major injuries, but defintely some guys get banged up. We are very proud of our team and plan to come back even stronger next year! We all had a great time/day despite the loss and my son had wonderful experience getting to play in a state championship game! Thank you God for the simple pleasures in life. Go Titans!
