I would have to agree. Highlands is a bit of a stock market team, one week there up and one week they are down. Hard to gauge them for me. But still a quality opponent to prepare for the bigger picture. I like using teams for measuring sticks but at the end of the day, the coaches who make adjustments and pay attention to details will be standing in the end. Good opponents like Highlands will do just that, give you plenty of feedback.

It’s amazing how that program plummeted in such a short period of time.  I remember when they were untouchable and everyone in the state outside of the big 3 in Louisville was afraid of them.  

I agree about being prepared.  That is what has really set Pikeville apart from the pack in the last few years.  Coach Mac always finds a way to get his teams ready for the playoffs and I don’t see this year being any different.

Not everyone was afraid of them….but they definitely benefited from their arch rival not having a coach for the better part of a decade.
