The birds did what they should have done. Put the ball in the air and give Bardo as many snaps as possible. They used Collinsworth sparingly. The game could have been a total blowout. Highlands toyed with the Tigers. Watching the game, you had the feeling that they were in total control and followed the "air it out" gameplan. Dale is smart. He knows that part of the game needs some suring up before St. X. comes to town. I was a bit concerned with the Birds D. If opposing teams can control the ball with sustained drives that chew up the clock, they may have a chance at beating Highlands. St. Xavier will score alot against the Birds D. No doubt about it. I predict a shootout with turnovers deciding the outcome of that game. With the defensive showing friday night, the Birds will be on their heels against St. X.

Maybe they were only showing exactly what they only wanted to hhhow.
