That works for me as long as it's punts. And thanks for the positive thinking that HHS will score after their 70/80 yard drives. I agree with you! I can see 4 or 5 drives like that.:thumb:

 

Will be a great game! Can't wait to see CCH bring home the win!

CCH 17 HHS 14

I don't see anyone challenging the birds till they get to Louisville and I'm not sure BG can play with them either. Highlands 28 CC 10. Glad to see both teams moving to 5A next year.

I think the X factor will be the Birds defensive secondary. Head, Bethiany and the latest addition Daley are all ball hawks defending the pass. Shutting down the Colonel's short passing game will be the key.

 

I don't think the Colonel's can match the Bird's ability to score with a quick strike. Kramer is so elusive in the open field.

Didn't I read that S Oldham had success throwing downfield against the Birds?

I think homefield advantage is overrated. Fieldturf is Fieldturf and football is football. Wherever its played shouldnt make a difference if you ask me.

I like this mentality. It makes for an easy target during playoffs. Hope HHS players and coaches think the same way. Sometimes surprises are not fun... :D

I believe that seeing both play that Cov. cath has size and Highlands has speed. It will be a great game and I am going to predict that Highlands wins on a wing around by Conner due to the fact that COv. Cath will pay too much attention to Kramer so they should. But never the less a great game best of luck to each team.

I love your optimism, but...have we been watching the same team?? I hope the DB's are up to the challenge. If they are, then HHS could win large. If not...well they'll get another shot!!

I think the key to HHS pass D this week will be to rush the QB. The Birds will have to bring the blitz to disrupt CovCaths passing game. If the Birds allow their QB to stand in the pocket and survey the field, it may be a long night. However, a good remedy to that would be the O grinding out long drives and keeping CovCaths O on the bench. Birds win 30-24:dancingpa

And the winner in round 2 gets to play on Field Turf in round 3 as well.

Keep thinking that way! Who ever comes out of this region will have had to beat some pretty good football teams. Hope Highlands is not overlooking teams like Covington Catholic, Lexington Catholic, Rockcastle Co., and Johnson Central (who must have a pretty good team) What good teams have Highlands beat this year?

Looking at Highlands schedule, their best wins appear to be over Madison Central and Southwestern. They have played three Catholic powers close and this appears to be the reason for the confidence.

Anyone that's thinking that the HHS players/coaches are not working hard and think they're going to "cake walk" to a state title doesn't know Highlands football. Doesn't happen...

 

 

*Pun intended...

HHS 24 CCHS 9. Game actually closer than this score. HHS needs to hold on to the ball this week or it will be too close for comfort.
