The teams traded TD's basically, with JC pounding it up the field at will and Highlands scoring about anyway they wished. However, when it came time for JC to answer at 21-14, they were moving the ball well and then the key play of the game was the TO that was returned for a TD by Highlands. That put HHS up 28-14 and that was the game. The Eagles hung in there, didn't give up, but in a game this close, that was all the break the Bluebirds needed. Game over. I was thinking all along that whichever team made THE MISTAKE first would lose and they did.

Of note, I won't say it is impossible to win state with a 100% run offense, but it wouldn't hurt the Eagles to have more of a passing game. But the big key was the lack of pass coverage by the JC Defense. Also, there were many plays where the Highlands QB had all day to the throw the ball. Absolutely no pressure on the QB at all.

Good luck Highlands!!

i was listening to this game while watching belfry to me thats where the game turned when they was about to score again then the guy got the ball somehow and ran the td..great year eagles..
