Yes they did but I didn't watch the lineman challenge. I watched the two days of the skills in the 7 on 7. Like I said deflect and attack if you want but I what I seen was more like baseball and basketball players. When I look for a football athlete I look at the arms for some muscle mass, thick hips, big gluteus and thick thighs with a nice calf. That usually means the kid has good core strength. What I saw was hip bones, skinny legs and arms. Not what I expected for a championship football team. Just an observation. Looked like kids who thought they were going to win because of the name on the jersey. Didn't see the look of a bunch of grinders. Yes, there were some players, and a bunch of little guys too.

I attended the lineman challenge last year and watched every minute because my son was one of the five on Highland's A team. Highlands came in second because they lost the final event which was a winner take all tug-o-war, won by Woodford County. Woodford's players were huge.

There were individual and team events. A Highlands player won the individual events in: bench press, farmers' carry, and tire throw. A Highlands player did not win the tire roll or sled pulling events. Highlands won three of the four team events (obsticale course, truck push, and, sled push). They lost the tug-o-war at the end.

This really has no bearing on the 2016 team because four graduated and one went to another school.
