Highlands always give up a lot of points on defense though.

 

Not always but more the last few years than I can remember despite having some really good athletes on that side of the ball. Of course they usually only get a couple minutes rest before the offense scores and they're back on the field.

One of the better D-Coordinator's to be walked out of Highlands locker room a couple of years ago. Dave Meadows who is now at Campbell County with Steve Lickert as his DC, was one of Highlands better coaches and it's pretty obvious he was.

 

Since he has left the D-Backfield has taken a considerable step backwards in just how they prepare and play the game....IMO! Maybe someday Dave can make his way back to Ft Thomas as he has 2 boys that will be possibly be coming through the program sooner than later.

Randy Borchers at Cooper.

 

The man has had an impressive defense each year at Cooper, and that's without a considerable amount of boys. His teams are always defensive minded, and I'm not sure if he is listed as the teams DC since he is HC but I assure you defensive game plans are ultimately his. The man is a brilliant football mind.

I have some numbers for you since I was bored.

Bowling Green held their opponents to an average of 17.6 points below what they averaged for the season.

Meade held theirs 14 points below.

St.X held theirs 13.4 points below.

That's all I cared to calculate for now.
