Many people believe that this year's JC could be their best and the 2006 team that lost to Covington Catholic was better than Highlands that year, IMO. I trust Matney to make the coaching decisions that will give the Golden Eagles their best opportunity to win each game on the schedule. People like yourself who second guess Matney's approach to the game cannot cite any examples of teams in Highlands' class over the past few years beating them by employing a more balanced attack because there are none.

A great Covington Catholic team won a state title in 2006 but it was Johnson Central, not Highlands, which gave the Colonels their biggest challenge that season and they did it with a punishing running attack.

Highlands is not invincible and so far, there is no evidence that this year's
Highlands offense is better than it was last year or the year before last.

You said there is no evidence that Highlands O is better this year and I am not ready to say they are yet. But I will say this years WR's is they strongest I have ever seen and QB throws a very very good ball. The WR's go 9 deep with very little drop off from 1-9. They have height and speed and all 9 have alot of catches an TD's. they sub 4WR's each play. And I do feel JC's weakness against highlands is pass D.
