[Diogenes]

High school teams live and die with head coaches. Highlands will always be good. But Dale Mueller's Highlands was a different level. There's a certain mystique that comes with certain men in charge, and when you lose that, maybe you lose the air of invincibility as well. Cov Cath apparently was awfully sharp in dismantling Dixie Heights. As a mostly neutral observer who doesn't really like either one but has respect, and who has seen the pendulum swing and swing back in the last decade, it may be time for a new king of that hill.

Not an indictment of HHS or their coaching choice. Still think they're top 3 material in their class. Just there may be a chink or two in the armor that had no chinks until last December.
