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.

You misunderstood me. I meant that Highlands is lucky if they have a guy run a 4.4 any year. I would not be surprised if Green from this year does but could not think of another guy as long as I have been following HHS. I am a big track follower and hold school track record so i like to keep up on the fast
guys at the school. Everybody use to think Collinsworth was crazy fast but was no where near a 4.4. He was lucky to break 12 in 100 metters in track, but had the best cuts on the field of any RB I have seen at the school. Like I said before Highlands has good overall team speed but but not the 4.3/4.4 speed guys. Like you said if you are running a 4.3 forty, you would be running a 11.0 100 metters and there has only been one guy since 1980's who has done that.
