Would be glad to be back in 5A!

 

Would love to have you. Play up next cycle?

 

(And for the record: HHS is 3-1 against Bowling Green, overall. The scoring differential was 115-54.)

 

Raiderbird specifically said 'finals'. But yes, if you include the 2 games in 1960 and '61 Highlands record is is 3-1 against BG.

It's not our choice, as I'm sure you know. And we have done so when given that opportunity...which you also know.

See, now you're coming around! :thumb:

 

We would have loved to pound BG more often in state final games; but for some reason, when we got to the stadium....they were nowhere to be found! :idunno:

 

 

 

(We even looked under the bleachers...but alll we found were dead raccoons.)

....says the guy who's team is 1-1 against BG in the finals.

 

Yeah because BG gets beat in the playoffs. Then HHS plays whoever in the finals and beats them by 35...

Against my better judgement,I'll put my 2 cents worth in. I've seen BG twice and Hhs once this season. Like last year I would take the Birds in a close game. I feel fairly comfortable Dale would find a way to slow down Fant who is amazing and if someone else beats you so be it. Everyone in the stadium knew where the ball was going yet St. X seemed to make no adjustments. Throw in losing your starting Qb and any chance of a effective passing game that X showed in the first half, multiple procedure penalties,delay of game and too many players on the field penalties, all of which lead to a St.X loss. I personally feel Scott Co. looked a couple of tds better than X. I do feel that BG is different animal this year with a very small but lightning quick defense. Passing game is very efficient and Hayes throws a much better ball than Hollis from last year. Bottom line, if BG runs their chaos defense with 4 guys blitzing and 9 in the box, a team with a good running game, decent passing game, mobile Qb, great coaching staff, i.e. HHS, and I'll take HHS 8 out of 10 against the Purples. Since I' ve already stuck my neck out I'm willing to say I think the Steelman, Carpenter, Moore and Hines team from a few years ago is better than either of BG's last two teams. Also have seen Warren Central this year and I'm not sure the Dragons may not be the 2nd or probably 3rd best team in the state in any class.

Please don't take my above comments and think I'm implying BG got lucky by beating X last night. BG was the better team and deserved the win. I just wasn't impressed by St. X as much as I thought I would be. Maybe HHS could play the Purples in a future Rafferty's Bowl and satisfy everyone's curiosity as to who is the states number 2 team. BG is supposed to be even better next year!

So is HHS..

I think the Rafferty's Bowl is locked through 2014.
