Did you say transferring in? That wouldn't happen at Highlands?

 

No it hasn't in over 20 yrs.

Just saying they need to develop more basketball only kids if they want to see success. A big 6'6 kid transferring in wouldn't hurt.

 

Of course....but I think High School is about developing the student athlete not the other way around. If a kid can play more than one sport why would you force him to make a choice unless it would negatively affect his future college career potential. It's flipping High School!

I don't think that makes them 60 points better.

All I know is the word I got from a CovCath person in the know is they were trying to decide to beat em by 100 or rest the starters after 3 min into the 2nd half. This scenario shouldn't take place no matter if you have 2 or 3 sport kids playing.

I would say Highlands basketball and CovCath football are in the same boat in the sense that it doesn't feel like the whole school and community are supporting it like they used to, and that plays a significant role in high school sports. I look at it like Princeton football, which used to be a national power, but now is hiring and firing coaches faster than politicians change directions. It all starts with having the kids fully buy in, followed by the administration and followed by the community. So the question is, what does Highlands need to do to get the community to buy in?

Well they you live in a fantasy world. Teams gets blown out. I guess CC SHOULD be applauded that they chose to win by 60 vs 100. Maybe Catholic Schools shouldn't recruit...but they do. Maybe High School kids should worry more about how their losses affect their parents more than themselves. Maybe HHS should put the freshman in vs CC Football so that CC can win one once in a while? Should and reality don't mix. Listermann is coaching the kids that come out to play. That's what he gets....If you think you would do a great job at recruiting middle schoolers to play only basketball, I think you SHOULD! Maybe you SHOULD tell the name of your "in the know" source! C'mon....It's High School! Jordan was cut by his HS coach. LeBron played football. They shouldn't have lost by 60...but they did. So what...Next game. Golden State lost by 32 last night...that SHOULDN'T have happened! I guess Steve Kerr should be fired and Curry traded?

They aren't buying in? I see the players on the court and their parents buying in. How would the community "buying in" make any difference? It's about the talent of the players....don't you think?

I played back in the day. I don't remember anyone blowing us out. Especially by 60

...

Can we even call this a rivalry anymore?

Sir

You were an average jv player as a junior in high school. Most jv games don't have teams scoring 60 points. Hence you may not have been blown out by 60.

I'll take average. Thanks!

Is it time for HHS to stop scheduling the Colonels?

Football or basketball?

The community is NOT putting on the uniform and going out on the court to play, so if you don't have "basketball" players playing you are going to get beat like the proverbial drum when playing top competition.
