A little birdie told me that the "other school" you referenced is a real "rock" of a football program, so to speak...:sssh:

 

Yes heard the same thing. Would of been a real challenge going into the playoffs....

 

Probably better off not playing that game that late in the season. Could you imagine! Elder in week 9 is pushing it enough.

The other N. Ky. Teams are flat out scared to play. They know they'll get physically and emotionally demoralized and their seasons will be negative from the Highlands game forward. Basically they'll be exposed.

 

Lol! You haven't missed a beat over your absence. Keep up the good work G!

Will Highlands Offense revert back to the 2010 - 2011 version with Houlston at the helm? Or will they stick with a run dominate game with Harris being the bell cow?

Here you go my friend

 

Well I really like Jared Pulsfort. I know I'm such a homer.....I really think that Jared could be a unbelievable WR with his height and track speed. He has some very nice hands! One problem, who is going to be able to get the ball to him. I'm sure Nick will figure that out.

 

Other players......

 

Carter Burke(LB) The kid will not miss any tackles and can flat out play the game of football. Does a nice job of running the ball too.

Bradley"Lightning in a Bottle" Greene(ATH) I say athlete because he can do anything. And I mean anything!

Cole Murphy(T) Big physical kid. One of the best lineman that my staff and I have had the pleasure to coach.

Luke LaFrange(TE) This kid needs to work on his quickness. Going through a growth spurt. Once he figures that out he will be a very nice addition to any position.

Sam Taylor(DB) A little undersized but will light you up. Very smart player and puts himself into the right space to make plays all over the field.

Herbert Shearer(G) Not sure if he will make it to Ft Thomas to play. Would love to see it but I am not counting on it. He may be the best fundamentally sound lineman that I have seen in our league in quite some time. Can make every single block that is assigned to him. Never misses one!!

Ethan Doty(TE,QB) Hopefully Ethan gives football another shot this year. He was given the chance to pitch baseball at the Highlands JV level this past fall and chose to do so. Very nice size and gifted Athlete.

 

The Blue team was loaded this past year with only 1 loss and that was to the “The Big Red Machine”…LOL! Blue was very good! The green had some nice players but were a little out manned the entire season. Once again the Gold had some freakishly huge lineman and that will be the key to having some success at the Frosh level. Coach Turner will be very pleased to get this group of lineman across the board in a couple of years.

 

There are many more great players throughout the league but that’s what I can offer from coaching the 7/8th grade Red Team.

 

Hopes this helps.....

 

Is that Rick's son?

Sounds like the University game could get picked up for a regional or national broadcast. Date could change if it does.

Remember when you told me yesterday to check my sources? I did.

Good work on your part. I knew about that, I was just wondering who told you.

Is that Rick's son?

 

I believe so...

 

Its' Spring Football time in Ft Thomas Ky

That photo is just classic! Boys, I just had to reply. LOL

Thats priceless !

OMG!!!

Will the Birds be worthy of a top 50 national ranking?

Will the Birds be worthy of a top 50 national ranking?

Are we talking preseason or at the end of the season? I doubt they will be ranked in the preseason (although if Highlands manages to "beat" Trinity in their preseason scrimmage - a very tall order - they could, I guess), but if Highlands runs the table in 2013 and goes 15-0 they will be ranked at the end of the year. Big games against a defending Florida state champ and Elder at The Pit offer Highlands the chance to register attention-getting wins.
