This upcoming Friday Highlands takes a trip north to Columbus, Ohio to face Division III power Saint Francis DeSales. Last year, DeSales beat up HHS pretty good. How will this year's contest go?

 

I'll say:

Highlands 28

Columbus DeSales 24

I think the Birds have a good chance to avenge their loss from last year.... Like I said in another thread if Beechwood can hang with Alter than the Birds should be able to hang with DeSales... GO BIRDS:banana:

DeSales will be fired up for the Birds after last year's schenanigans.

 

DeSales by 13.

What were last years schenanigans?:confused:

DeSales 35 HHS 13

Desales 35- Highlands 17!

DeSales better than St.X and Elder?

DeSales 35 HHS 13

Let me get this straight. HHS kills Beechwood in a game like scrimmage. Beechwood loses to Kettering Alter 18-0 which by the way is the #1 DIII team in Ohio. Columbus DeSales is the #2 ranked DIII team in Ohio but HHS is going to lose 35-13..... I don't think so......:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The only thing I can think he might be referring to is when DeSales was up and they put in their subs the Birds kept their starters in and I believe also did a successful onside kick. I don't think its shenanigans though, what were they supposed to do, roll over and just give up? Heck, you have to try to get back in the game.

I don't know why anyone has a problem with starters stay in for the loosing team and the 2nd team goes in for the winning team. Heck the second half of the HHS /PSW game was Highlands 2nd against PSW starters. PSW played their hearts out the second half when many others might have given up. I don't believe there is a written rule or that it is even considered a courtesy for a coach to put his second team in when the opposing team has chosen to do so. It's football for crying out loud and the goal is to win.

I don't know much about the DeSales team, but I do know I am rooting for the birds. Once again, good-luck from your SEKY fan!

De Sales has been a little quiet this season which could be scary so with that in mind I say De Sales 35-17.

I just don't see them putting up 35 on the 'Birds. Anything is possible I guess.
