I hate to bring this up again, but does anyone really believe that Highlands is the third best team in the country? They are very good and I don't mean to belittle their accomplishment as the best team in Kentucky. That said, they wouldn't be top ten in some states.

These National rankings are just ludicrous. Highlands lofty ranking is based almost entirely on their win over Cincy St. X. At one point some polls had the Bombers ranked as high as number one in the country. They ended up losing three games and were eliminated in the second round of the Ohio playoffs.

Now, I'll sit back and wait on the nasty remarks to come my way! :biggrin:

:thanks:

Yes, these polls are an inexact science to say the very least. But as a Kentucky sports fan I am glad to see that a high school program from the state is gaining some national attention. If you finish the season undefeated and win a state championship in a fairly dominating fashion like Highlands did then you deserve all of the praise that anybody is willing to give you. Besides, these rankings do not mean anything as far as the actual crowning of a state champ. People had their chance to beat Highlands and they didn't so how can they complain about where they are ranked? Congrats Highlands!!!
