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.

 

How about you give us those from the 8 prior years. I will wait and real interested to see who you list from the teams of 2007 through 2014.

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.

 

Why do you keep bringing CovCath up? Seem a little sensitive.

Yep that is it.

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

Really? When was their last losing season before Weinrich?

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.

 

So a team has 25-or-so straight years of dominance and winning a bunch of state titles, often loaded and blowing teams out, with enough good players to be two-platooning in a bunch of those years, and they suddenly go 8-7 and 3-8 and everything is ok? Nothing to worry about?

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.

 

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.)

 

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.

 

Is there some other possibility that I'm missing?

 

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

 

Bahahaha and Yes. Oh and where have you been? I mean seriously, where?

I guess teams like USC, FSU, Alabama never had down years? Quit reaching. Highlands is still NKY's premier team until otherwise noted. End of story

Looks like it might be noting otherwise in the upcoming seasons.

 

There's a lot more parity in college football and it's a lot more difficult than high school football.

 

Show me where any college team has dominated in the same way that Highlands has for as long as they have and then suddenly don't and we can have a discussion.

When have they dominated like Highlands has? They may have had a few (3) off years but only have one national title since 2000 and only one in the fifteen years before that and only one in the ten years before that, so not like they were ever really on top in any comparison to Highlands to begin with.

Before there was a playoff, there were many different national titles. Here's a small sample of some dynasties that fell off after a particular run.

 

Oklahoma ’73-’80 – 5 titles

USC ’72-79 – 5 titles

Nebraska ’80-’84 – 5 titles

Miami ’83-’91 – 7 titles

Obviously Bfritz is to young to remember these teams, but they all have similar runs to Highlands and then dropped back to the pack.
