Agree or Disagree?

Should have a better understanding where Johnson Central belongs after this week.

Agree. :thumb:

You could probably interchange 2,3,4& 5 and still be right. Now they all appear to be chasing Highlands. We have to wait and see how much any of them improve as the season goes forward.

Here is something to think about. John Hardin gave Highlands a game because they play the kind of football Highlands does not. Highlands is a finesse team and they are good at it! But smash mouth football is a little different when you have the attitude and horses to do it. My point is this may be an advantage for teams that are strong and like to hit, possibly teams like Johnson Central and Boyle. Over the years the teams that have had some success against Highlands are the hard hitting teams like Bell Co. And Boyle. Just food for thought.

Sounds good in theory, in reality not so successful.

I agree playing smash mouth football does help against Highlands again i say helps but if your not Trinity, St. X or Bowling Green you better play a perfect game and thats still might not be enough. John Hardin had the ball for 33 of the 48 minutes and still lost by 7 and the game really wasnt that close. Being physical is huge in football period but overall talent will prevail in the end. Elder will have both and that will be a big problem for the birds.

Not to change the subject here, but do you really think St. X could beat Highlands. I think from what I saw Saturday Highlands would beat them by at least 2 TDs.

I think they could but i will say that out of the three i mentioned St. X would be the least likely to beat Highlands. T and BG are really good this year as far as Ky competition. I think its T, BG, High then St. X but to answer your question Highlands would be a slight favorite over St. X.

Recent history does not agree with Highlands beating X or T...

Either one of you two want to explain how recent history would agree with HHS not beating X.

Here is my question. How come hhs is down 21 -0 before they can get off the bus barely at Trinity every year in a scrimmage and final score is usually 48-20. And that is some kind of moral victory. But J Hardin plays within a td o hhs and there considered to not have been in the game. I thought the game wasn't over until the end of the 4th qtr
