Congratulations Highlands!

Are the Bluebirds on their way back to the top?

"Are you serious, Clark?"  Highlands hasn't won anything for 7 years....they win a 7 on 7 tournament and now they are "Back?"  Not only haven't they won anything, they haven't been competitive for 7 years!  I hope they turn the ship around, but what are we doing here?  I still can't understand why every pre-season poll has them ranked high.....poor Troy Howell keeps ranking them where they should be and get's hammered by the "Fort Thomas Mafia!"  People outside of Fort Thomas need to wake up and realize the days of Highlands dominance is over.  Bob Sphire isn't a Miracle worker.  It would take him 5 years just to put a competitive team on the field based on the talent level at the school.  Kid's are not wanting to come to Highlands to play football like they did 10,20,30 years ago.  Every Highlands team that did something special had at least 3-4 studs from outside of the district.  The previous Superintendent from the mid 2010's, killed the program.  Refused to allow transfer student's and was not very accepting to athletics.  Just hope that the "Mafia" get's what they want with Sphire and his son.  Unfortunately, the feeling in the city is that this is just "Tom Duffy 2.0".  We all know how that turned out.

You're definitely more serious than I am if you melt down after one question. This is gonna be fun.
