No one was going to beat Highlands last year either, oh but it happened. It happened because Highlands, Trinity, BG, Mayfield etc. will always have great teams, but sometimes, only sometimes mind you, one of the other teams in Kentucky get a great group of kids that do not scare so easily and figure they put their pads on just like our elite teams. When these teams do it is special, when the elite teams win it all, its expected, if they don't they are deemed failures. We will see how it goes the next few years with BG and Highlands battling in 5A. Trinity has already learned that ST. X, Male, Collins Scott Co. etc. don't scare so easy. Highlands will finally play up in division and BG will not back down from them. Mayfield may find getting out of 1A may change things for them a bit as well.

 

FINALLY??? REALLY??? They have always played up when allowed by KHSAA. You say that like they have been purposely ducking someone. If I remember right, the last time they played UP, (5A when they would have been the smallest 4A school or largest 3A school) in the same class as BG, they were able to hold their own.

 

I don't think anyone expects anyone to back down from anyone.

That may YOUR perception, but it is not the perception of most of the players, parents, coaches or community. For those that do have that perception, they don't understand the true importance of HS football -- at HHS or across the country.

Fair enough' date=' but the first game was not competitive. Blow out city by FTH. Hoping for a closer, exciting game.[/quote']

 

...which is exactly what I said.

Highlands won state every year that they were in 5A. Correct me if I'm wrong.
