Sounds like Highlands 3 2nd half scores came off of turnovers leaving them a short field. Although that is what good teams do when other teams makes mistakes it doesn't seem to me that would necessarily make this a game that was dominated by one side. Sounds like to me JC held their own tonight.

Are the excuses starting? The turnovers were in large part due to Highlands special teams playing great and forcing JC to start deep in their own end. Highlands forced some 2nd and 3rd long plays and JC's Off is not designed for that. And if you want to start talking about ifs and butts; If Highlands does not have a pentalty when 3rd and 2 in the first half, they probably get the first down and go in to score. And if the do not have a bone head defensive pass interference play, JC never scores the second TD and the score could easily be 21-7 or28-7 at the half. JC played a good game but Highlands is just the better and more balanced team. Highlands showed they had more depth and better half time adjustments. JC Has excellent running game but sooner or later will realize they need to establish a passing attack to advance farther in the playoffs.
