First district battle for both. Who wins and why?

Highlands wins this one. something like this:

D 7 7 0 7 21

H 7 7 7 7 28

Birds should win by 2 TD's.

 

Highlands 42

Dixie 28

Think Highlands will struggle to stop Dixie's running game, conversely Dixie will struggle stopping Highlands passing game. I'll take Dixie in a close one Dixie 28 Birds 27.:thumb:

This one will be close. Dixie has a better running game. Highlands has faster WR's but Hergott is the big ? If he can hit some receivers downfield HHS wins. Either way it's close game.

I'll say Highlands in a shootout. Something along the lines of 37-28.

What did Highlands do over the bye week to get back on track?

Dixie by 21.

Dixie by 21.

 

:stop: Come on man! This ain't last years Dixie team, while it's not Highlands either, but......

Birds by about 3 TDs.

Dixie by 21.

 

If something like that happened I feel it would be the death blow to this years team's psyche. judging by similar scores w shared opponents I don't think it will be like that... especially since its at DCM. It should be pretty close, within a TD either way.

Birds by about 3 TDs.

 

Why? What makes you think this?

this needs to be the turning point for the birds. The remaining games are all winnable.

 

Dixie - H favored by 7

Cov Cath - CC favored by 9

Boone - H favored by 10?

 

This could be the stretch that builds confidence and trust. I think that is about a 1/3 of the problem. Ive seen WRs giving up on routes, QBs acting finicky when there was time, tackles not getting finished. that stuff can be built on from here on hopefully. Once that confidence is built their chances of beating Cov Cath and Pulaski in the playoffs increase. I know all H.S. teams get better through the season but Highlands seems to gel and mature a little more (State Championships are kinda proof of that).

So let me get this straight, IF Highlands beat both Dixie, and Boone Co. they will be ready for the playoffs? FYI, this Highlands team isn't very good, and that's a fact. Beau Hodge ain't coming back anytime soon. This weeks game will be a 1 score game either way.

Love some of the logic that is posted on here. Rather hysterical. I will say this, if Dixie is as one dimensional as everyone says then I can speak pretty confidently what will occur.
