4 carries 9 yards Geisler had 11 for 158 yards.

So the kid that carried them last week got a total of 4 carries?  I will have further comments later.

CONGRATUALTIONS is in Order for Davis Burleigh for Breaking the School Record in Field Goals at Highlands, tonight in the WIN over Cooper High School, 34-5 GO DAVIS! 

Not to diminish the accomplishment, but I am curious how this was determined.  Honestly did not know Highlands football program kept these kind of statistics.  I actually got a phone call last night asking if it was my son’s record that was broken and I honestly did not have an answer.  A quick check of KHSAA website does show a season of 11, but honestly had no clue.  Anyways congrats to Davis Burleigh and may he keep adding to the total over the next 6 weeks.

Gotta be at practice to play. He was also sick yesterday.

People suffer from short term memory loss. Where this program is now and where they were 2 years ago isn't close. Some people need to appreciate a bit more what is happening! 

Do you think they have more overall talent than two years ago? I think many of the Seniors now played quite a bit as sophomores. No doubt they are physically stronger, quicker, and they(along with parents and fans) have bought in to what they are doing. Good luck the rest of the way!

That is the one part of the offense that has been missing for years. Highlands has always had strong kickers. It’s nice to finally see kickers getting a chance. Great job young man!

Agreed!!! It's very hard to be a kicker for the Birds. High powered O doesn't get many FG chances. He  is great. While we are on this subject, I would like to give a shout out to #75 a starting  D tackle in on the kickoff team for the Birds. How often do you see that? Double teamed all night long still making the QB scramble. CCH didn't have an answer for #75 last week. These two players are great. Glad they are Birds.

 Interesting. If you beat a good opponent 34 to 5, what the heck is there to complain about?  I would be OK if he had 0 carries if I was a Highlands fan and the score finished 34 to 5.

Guess you and I are different.  Not the first time I have questioned personnel choices and will not be the last.

Fair enough.

The way I look at it, when people start getting focused on individual stats, it is selfish and divisive to a team. Team first, always.

Of course we are just fans chatting, so no real impact to the team. If the players get caught up in this though, that is different.

Kudos to To David Burleigh for eclipsing the Single Season Record for Field Goals and to the Varsity Football Team for a job well done and monumental accomplishment.

It was a great night for the team, coaching staff and community! 
 

And hey, at least we are not talking about warm ups! ?

Lol you’re right. Ever since it was mentioned about warmups, coaches have been involved. Interesting how that works! To say it was a bad look was an understatement to say the least. 
 

just sayin!

All that Cooper this and Cooper that. Cooper is just another Boone county school with no shot at winning a state title. Seems to be the trend for Boone County schools.

Not this year but I wouldn't rule it out the next few years.

Huh? Where the heck did this come from? And what are you even talking about? People have talked about Cooper being a good team this year, and having a lot of young talent. Which all is true. So not exactly sure what you are talking about. 
 

Which Cooper in their short 14 year history has already been to one state title game. Another year where they made the state semi finals. Then another year where they missed a two point conversion at the end of the game or else they would have made another semi finals. 
 

It seems like most people have said Cooper is a good team this year, but also has an even brighter future ahead over the these next few years. Which a state run definitely is possible over these next few years. So no idea where this post came from.

What big games has Borchers won in his time at Cooper to make anyone think his team can win a championship? I’ll give him this, he’s been to 1 state title game. But that was before Frederick Douglass and South Warren had a team.
