Check the state records each year and you will be lucky to find 3-4 sub 11 runners every year in the entire state. There is not many of those guys no matter where you go in the state. And I would say Highlands is lucky to have one guy a year that is a 4.4 or 4.5 guy in the 40. They have good over all team speed but not as fast as you are saying. This year I would say Green is the only 4.4 guy on the team ( he was state champion in 400 meters in sub 50, have to be able to fly to go sub 50).

There YOU said it yourself, "Highland is lucky to have one guy a year that is a 4.4 or 4.5 in the 40" JC has NEVER HAD A REAL 4.4 in the 40 guy period (from Johnson Co)! 4.5 guys are as rare as hens teeth! The JC school record in the 100m dash was in the Mid 11's for the Past 30 years, then a few years ago the kid from Florida transfers in and ran it like 10.8. There have been guys that claim a 4.4 but when they came out for track the ran 11.6 at 100m. Some people claim you can run 4.4 and not run Sub 11, I say BS! Take Randall Cobb, he ran 10.75 in HS, he also ran a high 4.46 at the NFL combine. If a guy can run a true 4.4 in the 40 and can't run sub 11@100m, I wouldn't want him on my football team because he lacks the heart to run a 100m at full speed! JJ Jude's junior year Highlands had a LB I would bet was a easy 4.55, they also had a little DB that was probably 4.4. Yes sub 50 @ the 400m is smoking fast! Don't play down the type of athletes Highlands has had, heck a guy from Highlands held the state record in the High Jump for a coons age, I bet he held over 25 years. Yes Highlands is way ahead of JC and the rest of the state in Football but 35 years ago a kid from JC thought the Fall was time to dig taters and didn't have a clue how to play football. JC has closed the gap and hopefully coach Stoops will help all the HS coaches in the state teach and understand pass D better kind of like what Hal Mumme did for the passing game.
