It's not even football season and I'm already looking forward to your next sabbatical.

I will believe that when I see it. Teams like Highlands don't stay "down". There is a reason they have 22? state titles and it's not by luck. The best part is, their down year would be considered a phenomenal year for about 20 other schools in this area. Again, they went to the semi-finals in a down year and actually had that game in the bag before they collapsed.

Did your insider also tell you how to spell Highlands?

Not sure I can handle you promoting Highlands....

But in all seriousness I am betting you are 100% correct. And when your "down year" is being a state semi finalist in Class 5A man you must be really down.......

You're right but not in the way you probably intended.

I don't typically promote Highlands haha but when it comes to football, you can't hate their success. As bad as it burns me to say it, but when you think NKY football you think Highlands. And the fact that I never had to play them may be another reason that I don't hate them.

I hope I'm wrong but think Highlands might just be moderately better than they were last year. There is the bad taste in their mouth factor for this offseason though. They could be so peeved from last year that they work cray hard, bond in belief of themselves against the world and become a great squad.... It's happened before with them 'Birds.

And State Rings never look silly.

Take baby steps! Highlands needs to score a td on SK first. You can't beat them just kicking a field goal.

I think the scariest thing for Kentucky football is if Weinrich becomes a hybrid of Dale and Duffy. Would there be 26 guys on the roster or 110? County Fair or Fun Bunches?

The oline, who starts at qb and getting better on defense are big question marks for Highlands this year.

That is no lie. There are big question marks for sure. Sometimes players emerge from the ashes though. We'll have to wait and see. This might be a year where a lot of sophomores get thrown in the fire.

There is no comparison between the two schools SK has 1672 students and HHS 940. SK will be the best team in NKY next year and put a running clock on most if not all NKY teams. With that said HHS is and will always be one of the best programs in the country.

I hope SK is a great success in 2016 but we have read the bolded above just about every year on BGP.
