The whole field should be in the shade long before kickoff, I can't imagine it being too bad. 

Maybe Highlands will water the field down…?

Actually that may be a good idea.

But then it might be too humid … pick your poison.

As Coach Barre used to say, it is a beautiful day for football!

IMO, Highlands needs this win desperately and anyone that disagrees or says it doesn’t matter is out of touch and will not be on this site talking about the Birds in December.

Go Birds, Beat Colonels

I think they need it too.  Getting beat by someone from a lower class, especially after struggling to beat a 3A team last week, and a loss to Ryle in their short scrimmage makes this game even more important for Highlands.  

Seems there is some interest in this game.

Probably because the winner of this matchup has won more state championships depending on the outcome than perhaps any other rivalry in the State. @Colonels_Wear_Bluecould shed some knowledge on this. 
 

I know being in different classes changes things but at Highlands this is how you get ready for the rest of the best.

I am sure you already said so, but who are you taking to win JOAT?

Game will be won at the line of scrimmage and I liked what I saw against Male.  I don’t like to make public picks.
