It seems that many of the people who are dogging JC not being able to win this game are the Highlands fans, and they don't think they can play with Cov Cath either... Don't you wanna play JC again? hh:

This Highlands fan thinks that JC will cream Scott and will beat CovCath. And I've seen all three teams in person this year. I can't imagine any Highlands fan thinking that Scott will beat JC. It's not going to happen. I really like the Sowder kid; he's one tough little football player. But he can't get it done all on his own.

JC will grind the ball on CovCath, whose defense is still not close to being on par with the great CovCath defenses of old. CovCath has a decent offense and will score points on JC, but not frequently enough to match scores with JC (that is provided that JC does not return to its fumbling ways of the early part of the season).

As for a possible Highlands JC matchup, it's a ways down the road and Highlands would have to have beaten a good Ashland team, but if both teams were to make it that far, I think it would be a decent game in the first half, but in the second half, Highlands would pull away. JC has most of their skilled players and I think one lineman playing both ways. Highlands has no one playing both ways. That makes a huge difference in a ball game between evenly matched teams and an even bigger difference if the two platoon team is even just a little bit better than the team playing kids both ways.

Having said that, I'm sure the JC kids would play their hearts out and would represent the mountains extremely well.
