Highlands does not play up in class. They are a 4A school and that is where they have competed since the last reclassification. Starting next year they will play up to 5A in order to continue playing their rival, the Blue Colonels of Park Hills. They did play up to 5A prior to the last reclassification so that they did not have to drive all over the Commonwealth to play games. From what I understand, next years schedule will include all NKY teams except for Louisville St. Xavier and Scott County.

Highlands a few years ago played up two classes. Now they are in class. Next year they will be up a class and will again be probably close to the bottom as far as male enrollment like they were a few years ago.

My point is, Highlands is usually playing up or playing in a class that fits us number wise but competition wise is completely off.
For as small of a school Highlands is, they compete with the largest of classes.
