What are the expectations for this year? If they have another down year, are they still rebuilding and moving forward?

 

Nah, they'll probably just scrap the whole program! :banana:

The lack of posts in this thread speaks volumes and I will leave it at that. Expectations are always to win a state championship and they have some very good talent this year at many positions. The big question will be depth in the trenches as State Titles are typically won there.

Ok I'll ask your way, are they going to run BW after a short staycation? Or are they waiting/hoping the next crop of Birdie talent will be like the old days?

No way they run BW and there is some really nice talent in the Soph/Freshman classes that will contribute next year. I wouldnt be surprised to see some Sophomores get significant Varsity minutes this season either.

I like the sound of that. Sounds like he is on his own path to bring a title home.

Not sure I follow your logic. The guy wins a state title just two short years ago and was a state semi-finalist last year and could arguably have been a state finalist had some adjustments been made.

 

The loss of Jason Lynch is going to be very big. Need to find a capable replacement

Hadn't heard he left...

What type of shape are the players in this year, I know last year a few posters said Highlands looked out of shape in the early season games.

The playoff layout will always be favorable for a final 4 run, assuming they beat CCH.

 

I'm still romancing the times that they couldn't be defeated by any NKY teams and could beat the Cincy powers.

Did that not just happen 2 years ago?

Highlands lost to Elder the last two times...Highlands played them tough though. Who else did you play in Cincy?

St X and Colerain in the past several years.

Tough teams to play.. They are always stacked.

Just two short years ago, in BW's first year at the helm, the Birds went 13-2 with the losses being to Elder and Christopher Columbus. So they did in fact go undefeated in Kentucky and play the "big" boys tough.

Hoge's senior year right? I hope you are correct and the Birds get back to dominance this year.
