I would say that IF they play 8 or so of their best players they are equal with Cov Cath.
They don't do that though so they wont get by the Colonels.
If a few kids go both ways they would surprise many: Huddelston, Sisson, both Schwalbachs, Armstrong, and there is D Lineman that is supposed to be really good I forget his name. They need to have players going both ways period but I don't know if they will do it.

They do return a lot on D, the D was young last year and the best 3 to 4 players weren't seniors. Plus there are a lot of sophomores coming up that can contribute.

Grady Cramer obviously should have been the starter last year at QB and this year no one will make that mistake again. No one is talking about him but he will be one of the best QBs in NKY if not the state. He has a beautiful long ball which Highlands hasn't had in a long time. Being "the guy" from day one will bring him a long way.

Highlands also graduated zero RBs which is good. Schwalbach will be great.

The OLine will be the question mark but that is the Highlands question mark every year. They don't need giant fat guys to run that offense. There are 5 regular guys walking the halls of Highlands that will run through a brick wall if asked to that can do what is required to win.
