In this particular game the only thing the passing game was not needed until JC found themselves in a hole and needed to score points fast. They were able to do what they wanted to do and that was control the clock. I really felt that JC was going to score again when the fumble return occured, which would have made the Game 21-21 instead of it being 28-14.

Truth is Highlands is just about as weak defensively in stopping a good rushing attack as JC is weak in stopping a good passing attack. It could be said that they are slightly a little one dimentional in that aspect as well.

Remember to have a passing attack it takes more than just having a quarterback, someone has to be able to catch the ball too. You have to have both. We have had a passing QB the last couple of years, didn't fair as well as being run oriented, IMO. All of the skill positions (QB's, receivers, kickers) have to be developed while these kids are in the elementary ranks, not wait until they get to high school. I'll just about wager that's how it's done in almost all of the Northern Kentucky schools. Also a fact that some may not agree with , but here goes anyway. To be able to compete with the NKy teams, you just about have to have kids that focus on football almost year around. Just curious as to how many Highlands football players go out for basketball? More and more and more, to be at the upper echulon of anything and be dominate year after year after year, you have to have kids that are almost to the point of specializing.

Highlands has a very impresive team, but was I the only one surprised in how small they were? Just goes to show how deadly speed and quickness is. I expected Collinsworth to be more of the physical stature of his dad, that being kind of tall and lanky. He walked right by me going out to the field and he looked like he couldn't have been no taller than 5 '9" to 5'10" and weigh no more than 170 pounds. How tall is he listed at?

Thats very true, in this particular game both teams moved the ball at will. In a game like this where teams are trading touchdowns the team that makes the 'big mistake' usually ends up losin the game.
