It seems like a lot of people are trying to put Highlands in there place. Look I agree that these 7 on 7s don’t necessarily mean that a team is going to be good or bad however beating all those teams has to be a better sign than not beating all those teams. I think if it was any of the teams we cheer for we would be happy. So let’s congratulate Highlands and get ready for the season.

What I would say for HHS it shows talent and young talent at the skill positions.  A young QB throwing a tight spiral in a small window builds excitement.  The big uglies need to continue to add strength and weight in the hopes of some sort of running game.  

in the past few years the defense was light years ahead of the offense when healthy:  As a bird fan I am excited about the hard work being done.  The boys look bigger, better and bolder I am expecting a great season!

NewCath won both their games in pool play and the third opponent dropped out. Can’t remember who they lost to in the later round but know it was close.

No doubt it was impressive winning 7 on 7 against such a big field. This years Highlands team may be the most talented team they have had since probably 2014 IMO. I know fans kept trying to deny it, but part of their drop off was because their talent wasn’t as top notch as it use to be. During their dominate days, they were the most talented team on the field 99% of the time. Over the last 6 to 7 years that hasn’t been the case.  They have now stacked multiple very talented classes together, and a whole lot of speed, and IMO probably the most talent they have had on a team together since 2014. They are going to be good and fans should be excited. 
 

The only thing that probably got people to say something and why I commented. Was the initial post talking about how those seniors deserve it more than any other seniors in KY and all that. Thats awesome that they are putting in work and seeing some positive results. Let’s not just act like they are more deserving than others though. Winning this 7 on 7 was a positive thing, and they definitely should be excited about it, especially doing it with a freshman QB.

My favorite part was watching Highlands play man 80% of the time, playing as physical as they would with pads and pressing each receiver. Can’t recall a linebacker playing safety. 

Yes!!! I love it. Please tell me you have a video of the corner lining up face mask to face mask against a receiver that is lined up off the ball and the corner throws him down at the snap??? I love those videos.
