I was wondering where are the ones are that said we should just stay home too...... lol

You mean the ones like Cincy St. X?....... and again,lol

Take Collinsworth out of the mix last night, as he has been at times this season while injured, and that one dimensional offense may very well have been all that was needed. Highlands is loaded with a ton of great players, but that may not have been enough. Not playing an "if" game here, just a hypothetical scenerio.

Highlands was up 42-14 and JC added a late score on Highlands SECOND TEAM DEFENSE. Usually when a team loses by 3 or more td's, that's not exactly a close game...especially when you give up 42 points. Credit JC for playing with Highlands for a half, but that's why they play two halves.

With or without Collinsworth, Highlands still would've won last night. Highlands defense was the difference. They bent but didn't break, while Highlands offense did whatever they wanted against the JC defense.

The difference between a team like Highlands and JC is you can take away a player like AC and still win because you have players like Will Bardo and Tyler Fennell to step in for him. Both would start for ANY team in Kentucky.

Want proof Highlands is just as good without AC?

Highlands 37 Ryle 14 (With Collinsworth and Bardo)
Highlands 31 Ryle 14 (Without AC, Towles at QB, Bardo at RB)

And I know you aren't trying to compare your team to Cincy St. X. They would destroy JC.

I'm right here. JC had a very respectable running game. Whats your point? They didn't quite hit 400 yards but hey Ill take 300 against a nationally ranked team. This Highlands defense is much improved over the past couple years.

My point is, your statement of saying JC would rush for 400 yards against Highlands D was very inaccurate. I do agree though that Highlands defense is much improved from years past.
