Last year the score to this regular season finale was 71-69. This year Highlands travels to Warren Central. Warren Central is widely seen as better this season than they were last season. Highlands is well....Highlands. Should we expect another shootout with a basketball score? Will Coach Feggins take down Highlands this season like he alluded to in his introductory press conference?

Last year was UGLY early before Warren Central's comeback. My first (and easy) prediction is there won't be near the amount of scoring as last year. My guess is the combined total of the teams in this game will not add up to even Warren Central's score alone last year.

But boy it was a fun game!!!! Just unreal! But I would have to guess it won't be that crazy this year. I think HHS still puts a lot of points on the board in this one...just because they have on everyone they've played. Can they stop the athletes of WC...don't know. Seem like athletic teams can score with HHS in most cases, so it could very well be another shoot out. But not like last year!

 

HHS injuries from the Elder game won't do them any favors either, but I'm sure they will show up to play.

I expect a shootout again.

How will the injuries that Highlands suffered last week affect them going forward?

Expect it to be another entertaining game. Hope HHS can outscore them; if WC is better than last year that will be a big challenge.

They lost some key players. HHS uses the "next man up" strategy. They will do that again, but they are starting to get thin in a few places. I'm not sure if we get any of them back or not because I haven't heard the extent of all the injuries...but they are some names that will be missed no matter how long they are out. They will still be very good, but depth becomes an issue now...IMO.

I may be one of the few who think last season's WC team was better than this year's.

 

H by 4 TDs.

I am thinking another shootout. I hope the HHS defense plays better than last Friday. A lot of the HHS problems had to do with matchups up front as Elder's offensive line was just on another level compared to the HHS front 7. I doubt WC will have that dominant of a matchup. HHS, unless something weird happens (injuries or turnovers) will score a lot of points - probably 50+. I am thinking something like 56-40 HHS...

You don't see them enough to know.

 

There is not a player on this team as good as Chris Porter-Bunton or Rondell Green. But that's where that comparison stops. They're more experienced and have much more depth than last year's team. They may not have the top level speed that will help them in a game like this, but top to bottom, this is a better team. My eyes do not deceive me.

Does Feggins play both ways? WR and ?

Best way to defend Feggins IMO is to put pressure on their QB. Feggins cant catch what the QB cant throw or has to throw under pressure.

 

I would put in some blitz packages this week for sure.

No speed. None. I've seen them enough to recognize that!

I sure as heck hope so Q. Watching HHS rush 3 guys against Elder who sometimes did not look like they were really trying to rush (just trying to contain the running lanes) was brutal to watch.
