Highlands is very overrated. Scott County rolled to rushed for 225 yards and held Highlands' offense to only 22 yards in 21 minutes of a game that was called at halftime because of lightning. Aside from Covington Catholic, NEKY football is very weak this season. Highlands only lost to Scott County by a 28-7 score, but the Cardinals thoroughly dominated the Bluebirds in that game. Highlands' soft schedule has made them look much better than they are. Henry Clay's thrashing of Scott County last night should cause a big shakeup in the computer rankings and polls of Kentucky football, but based on the score, Highlands played a respectable game against Scott County.

Highlands would struggle to beat any team with a strong offensive line and a talented backfield. I wish Highlands was on Johnson Central's schedule this season. If Highlands was not playing up in 5A this season, I would probably rank them third or fourth in 4A.

Highlands does have troubles against bigger o lines. Biggest problem with highlands though is there offense. It causes the D to be on the field too much and gives other teams short field. Offense against SC killed highlands. The defense was doing fair until offense gave SC great field position (dropped TD pass,dropped first down pass, bad play calling). If I recall correctly SC started past midfield 4or5 straight times. Defense looked ok until that happened. Another possession sc was 4thand33 and baled out on a bad PI. So yes I think SC is better than hhs but that was one of those game everything went wrong. Both O and D have gotten better and if they made sc drive length of field the game would be a much better game.
