I'm gonna go with Raceland. Just because everyone is going with highland. Be a true test to see were Raceland is at.

I would think Highlands handles Raceland fairly comfortably. Then again, one would assume Covington Catholic would have beat Pikeville comfortably and didn’t, you just never know. 
This is a very interesting game to see how good Raceland truly is. The longer they hang around the worse it’s going to be for Highlands. Should be a fun night in Highlands regardless. Good luck to both teams and hope they come out injury free and better for the rest of the season.
Will this game be streamed anywhere? Would be a fun one to watch.  

YouTube - HHS Film and Broadcasting. It is possible that 859Sports or someone else might as well but I haven't heard.

And for the Fans traveling with the Team. Nowhere to park. Welcome to Friday Night Football in Ft Thomas. You will Love the Experience.??

I think Raceland will actually bring a decent amount of fans- would be nice if Highlands made sure there would be some parking for them.  

I'm always impressed (and grateful) when the home team goes out of their way to welcome the visiting team, especially a first time meeting or a team that travels a good bit.

Good hospitality speaks volumes!

Decent parking in Fort Thomas?  Unless we plan on bulldozing some houses down that isn't happening.  Tell Raceland fans to bring their walking shoes or get there super early.

We don't have parking for our own fans haha.

As a person who has attended games here and there over the years, I'll confirm Highlands has the least amount of parking. It's 100% land locked by houses. I've had to park anywhere from 1/2 - 1 mile away for some games depending on the hype of said games. It's all on street parking, but once inside it's one of the coolest settings for a football game. I have the Birds by 3-4 TDs.

I think Raceland's defense is a little better than they are being given credit for.

With that said, depth and conditioning matters.

Raceland hangs tough but Highlands distances themselves later.

Highlands 35-14.

I agree. There would be absolutely no positive way to spin a loss for Highlands in this one. 

True, it would be a bad bad sign. Although I know nothing about Raceland besides that they are a quality smaller school. Highlands needs a win here. 

Parking is tough at the Birdhouse, but not a bad place for a little walk on a nice night. Drive around a few minutes and there are plenty of side streets or a few places like Banks and a Church parking lot to get into. The walk is more like a few hundred yards to maybe a 1/4 mile or so.

No need to go to someone else. The broadcast is done by students, which is second to none. The picture quality is excellent.

Hoping for a injury free competitive game.  Go Birds!!

If history repeats itself, there will be no need for special parking.  Despite this beng a 8pm start, They will be in your lot by 6pm.

Brossart has played Raceland in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently last year, where we lost to them 48-6 at Raceland.

In our first encounter, the game was played at Bob Miller Stadium in Alexandria.  We lost narrowly 22-14.  since then all of our games have been at Raceland, and they have ended our season by large margins. 

Raceland has 57 kids on KHSAA roster. Good numbers for a Class A school.

Not sure how big their Frosh team is but they have 14 Freshman on their Varsity roster. 43 Sophomore and above is still strong for 1A.
