If Highlands is back, then they should be ready for a game with Johnson Central. The main reason that Highlands seems to be "back" is that they have steadily watered down their schedule in recent years. Overall, teams in NKY have improved their programs and Highlands is no longer the only magnet for football talent in the area. I am not accusing Highlands of recruiting during their glory years, but parents wanting their kids to play in a great program naturally were attracted to the school. Football talent is more evenly spread through NKY now, which is a good thing, IMO.
