I agree Highlands has a chance to beat Holmes due to the fact the game is at Highlands. But no way Highlands has more talent than Holmes top to bottom. This will be Henley's deepest team ever at Holmes. The Bulldogs are coming in with 5 of the top 12 players in the region. Holmes is so deep there is a chance Avery won't start. Holmes has more than the big three. Also can't forget about NCC and Ryle both of them teams has a chance to be just as good as Highlands.

Top to bottom, Highlands has more size and is deeper than Holmes, but I agree they don't have more talent.

Johnson Brothers, Pittman, Rice, and Avery are all top 10 players in the 9th region. The only Highlands player I'd put in the top 10 is Kowolonek, who is a top 5 player, IMO, behind only JJ, Rico, and Eli.

What separates Highlands from the other teams around the region is the depth they have in the front court. Grubbs (6'5), Watson (6'5), Dill (6'4), Smith-Keller (6'5), and Stewart (6'6) are going to make it very tough for opposing teams down low. All have size and are very strong.
