I mean losses to two 6a aren't exactly powerhouse schools and are schools that you'd be laughed off the internet for suggesting they could even stay within five touchdowns of Highlands in previous years.

 

 

lol......... were we talking about CovCath? Way to throw out an attempted insult when you have no response to a valid question.

Nope.

 

Been wondering it for a while.

 

 

That you have no answer for.

 

You think that there has been no drop-off?

 

Just know your game.

 

When was the last time that CovCath won ANYTHING in football? I will wait because it will take awhile to find that.

WOW! That got somebody is a little testy :lol2: :lol2:

I edited your post, knock it off.

You mean loses to two 6A schools?

 

Last time I checked Dixie is 5A.

I'll sum up the previous 200+ posts about Highlands struggles the past couple years. The talent fell off and it was expected by the Highlands faithful. The cavalry is coming and will be back to their normal selves in the next couple years. That's the summary of what I've got from the last year or so.

The talent never fell off plenty of kids playing college ball from the last 2 years.

The power of Dale leaving.

"Downfall" seems a bit much.

The blip on the radar screen is probably more like it.

Really??? Please share your expertise with us and list those from the prior two years and compare that with those of the previous 8 years please. I'll wait.

This has probably been discussed to no end, but I haven't been around, and the recent downfall of Highlands' football is amazing.

 

Up until recent years, you could expect their JV squad to put a running clock on a team like Grant County, and now their varsity squad loses to them in the first round?

 

What caused the downfall?

 

Is it as simple as Dale leaving? That seems obvious, but you'd think assistant coaches that were on Dale's coaching tree could pick it up, especially since it was all established. Losing Dale obviously hurt so it is a factor but only one of many.

 

Is it that Highlands closed their enrollment borders and would only let students in from the immediate area? (I heard they've recently opened them back up, which is sad for them.) No effect.

 

Is it that other schools established feeder programs and their teams are getting better? That one seems unlikely considering they used to beat the best teams in all classes, even from other areas. Yes, other schools are getting better.

 

Is there some other possibility that I'm missing? Yes, the biggest factor, a simple temporary drop in talent. Due to their dominance people forget that HHS is not a huge school so there will be years when this happens.

 

Will they ever return to domination or even as the leader in Northern Kentucky?

No doubt about it. 100 years of dominance, they've had their dry spells before and will again.

You're definitely bored. Every great dynasty has a year or 2 like this. For the record, I'm not Highlands fan but respect that program. To call it a "down fall" is asinine.
