Wow, had a hard time understanding that. Funny how you bash on the very program that you inquired about having your son join. If things are so good in Union, why you trying to get out?

I will leave it at that. Good luck to Highlands this year and to all of the NKY teams. Hopefully they can live up to the laurels that some fans(parents) place on them.

Size stature weight muscle mass has everything to do with playing football. While there are other intangibles such as hip movement flexibility speed. It all has to add up, if it didn't there would be a million five foot seven hundred fifty pound kids playing Division 1 college football, but there aren't and there's a reason. My point is it does make a difference you have to have the combination of size and speed not just speed period. It's not going to win you every game. You may be able to out scheme some teams but you're going to run into those saws that are flat-out just going to beat you physically. That's what happened to the 6a teams last year when you guys played them. You guys normally have enough athletes to compete with the 6a's and have done very well against them in the past. You didn't have them last year and like I said I don't know who's coming back or how hard they work but if your program is continuing the same Trend as the student-athletes that I seen last year it's going to be another rough year being that you're playing the same exact schedule. And I'm sure you'll do very well in the 5A playoffs but the regular season is going to be bruising to your egos. The thing that I found about most Highlands parents or I have a kid on the team so I'm extremely delusional. They won't admit to anything I will defend and deflect bring up the past till their death. We're talking about football and football players has nothing to do with little Johnny being on the football team. I hope your son got to go play college football and has moved on and he'll get to live his dreams. I want every kid who has that goal to be able to do so. But just wearing the Highlands uniform doesn't guarantee anything, you still have to work and from what I seen those kids did not work. If your 5'8" there's nothing you can do about that but you should be 5'8" and 185 or 190 pounds. If you are 5'8" and 145 pounds you didn't do anything. And you're not going to play football past the high school level and in fact you're going to be an average high school player nowadays. These kids are getting bigger and the days of the little small kid lining up and being able to do those things like when I played 25 years ago is not going to happen anymore. Most of these kids are college size in high school. Stop being so defensive that's why we have this board to talk. And if what you're saying was true you were record last year would have been better. And for the record while everybody can appreciate what Highlands is done in the past and for the record while everybody can appreciate what Highlands is done in the past, need to stop living in the past. I don't care if you have 150 championships it's about what you're going to do this season with the kids you have that are playing now. And I'm not trying to offend you your kid may have been one of the ones that put in the work and busted his behind to make the team better. It looked like a lot of them were living on The Laurels in the tales of kids that have been there before. Gotta let the Glory Days Go Al Bundy.
