Highlands-LexCath Game Story

 

Of the 17 losses since the start of 2015, this one could be considered the most painful.

 

The Highlands Bluebirds football team led for a good part of the game -- until the final 45 seconds. The Lexington Catholic Knights put together two touchdown drives in the final 4:55 to steal a 21-18 victory at David Cecil Memorial Stadium on Homecoming Night on Friday.

 

The loss leaves the Bluebirds (2-3 overall) with a three-game losing streak for the third straight season. This marked just the second LexCath (3-2) win in nine meetings. The other one came 17-0 in the 2005 Class 3A region title game.

 

Tidbits on Homecoming King, Queen:

Highlands senior Bonny Lemma was voted Homecoming Queen and Nick Gish received Homecoming King honors.

It is high school football and its shocking how personal adults take it.

Agree. Pretty sad.

Congrats LexCath, way to hang in there until the end.

 

As for Highlands, the game doesn't mean anything, on to Simon Kenton.
