I just hope Highlands can win a game next year. All of the doom and gloom is rather comical to say the least. Do they not have 3 offensive lineman returning next year? a running back who saw quality minutes? a corp of receivers that saw significant playing time? Certainly a good base to build from.

 

Are we looking at the same thread? I don't see the doom and gloom. :idunno:

Sure are. Read some of the posts closely. "Talent they have returning" "Suspect QB play" just a few of them.

They could lose 4 games.

So you are telling me that the qb position doesn't concern you even a little bit?

So is Austin Hergott a Ft. Thomas native then?

 

If not, sounds like Beechwood's record against Mayfield in recent years is doing some damage to their reputation if he wasn't interested in going to play for Uncle Greg at Beechwood.

 

Yes, he has lived down the street from me since we moved there in '07. I'm not sure how long he lived there before that, but that is almost 8 years of residency right there.

That 'could' be said every year just like for every other team that plays the game of football

I would have bigger concerns if kids were moved to the position rather than working with what I have already put 3 years into. Kid had a pretty good frosh year if I remember correctly. Has all the physical tools needed, now needs to develop mentally and play the position with confidence. With 3 OL returning, are you concerned that the offense will not be able to move the football?

I expect they will have another high powered offense again in 2015. It may look different but that's ok.

No, I think they should be able to run the ball well if they have a threat of a passing game. Size and arm strength aren't my concerns. It is the ability to throw the ball accurately.

As many have said before me, practice, practice, practice. I am hoping now that he has quit the basketball team that he is dedicating himself to getting better each and every day of the week.

I guess only time will tell. We all know he has a D1 QB arm and body hopefully the rest will fall into place.

How big is Hergott? 6'5 210?

Probably pretty close on those dimensions.

I would say he is more like 220 or 225.

Probably pretty close on those dimensions.

 

Saw him @ the Armory last week, I'm 6'3 and I had to look up to him. Huge kid that I would say is at least 6'5 225. I think him knowing that he is QB#1 going into this year will help him tremendously.
