Whether Collinsworth was used as a decoy or not , I have no idea about that. I assumed either Welch did a good job in coverage on Collinsworth or that he was respected by the HHS staff. If that is indeed the case, Highlands was able to exploit the weakness that JC does have in the secondary, that being a freshman and a sophomore and is only in experience only. Both are good athletes and have done well all season at their positions, but are nontheless underclassmen and got to see a level in receivers they have never seen.

I was also pleased with JC's kick and punt coverage. I have read all season long about how deadly of a kick returner Collinsworth is, so that was a high point in the game for JC, IMO.

I asked the question earlier about Collinsworth's size and was able to find his listed height as 6'1 and 180 lbs." I'm 6'1" and he was a lot shorter than I am, even in cleats. I'm quessing 5'9" and would be generous in giving him 5'10". Not that it means anything at all. Just interesting. Wonder how many of his Salyersville family members came to watch him play? Heck , he's almost a native son.

I agree that JC did very well on special teams. I was expecting HHS to make some big plays on special teams and JC kept them in check.
