[quote=sstack]Really, come on, everybody in the state had highlands picked to win this game not just highlands fans. Stop making it sound like it was just "arrogant" Highlands fans. Collins came out and played a great game, showed they improved from last year, pulled off one of biggest upsets in ky history and won the game. Congrads, enjoy the win and now learn to win with class. You know you are the king of the state when other teams/fans not involved in the game throw a party (like bob seger who has to celebrate through collins since his team can't beat them). The winning record HHS has and the game against collins last year is the reason ALL football fans around ky had HHS winning this
game. Maybe the fans have become "spoiled" like you said but who wouldn't with the string of success they have had. the players worked their butts off to
accomplish that string just like collins did this past offseason to accomplish this years championship.[/QUOT

I was not just directing that at solely Highlands fans, although it does apply to many. Yeah, I expected Highlands to win too, but look back at the prediction thread for this game. Despite people warning us that Collins is much improved from last year, many members kept discrediting these claims, saying it would still be a blowout. I'm not trying to take anything away from the talent level Highlands has. I would be crazy to try! Six straight appearances is unreal! All I'm saying is that the talent level at Collins deserved a little bit more respect and acknowledgment.
