I agree, Highlands is my pick for winning 5A currently. We will see.

Definitely have the offense for it. I think BG,SW, could keep up in a shoot out. Especially BG.. As of right now Highlands has to be the favorite.

If Highlands faced either of those two I’d expect a very high scoring game.

Best team in NKY is a comical statement. To be the man, you have to beat the man. 

But whatever helps you Birds fans sleep at night! 

Highlands will win a 5A state championship this year, but year in and year out, are still trying to figure out how to beat a team over in Park Hills since an Eviston took over. 

Slow your roll, man. I don't know about who coached you in football, but I know when Coach Ray, Coach Hobbs, and Coach Noll were running things at Cov Cath, the common refrain was, "Act like you've been there before."

Words to live by, right there.

Give it a rest.

Is Benke like real deal real deal? Or just regular real deal? 

I think his size and athleticism make him a handful for most high school teams. If he gets to the right style of offense he can be a ok QB, but I think he would be a TE for many college teams.

Exactly my take. He can probably go to a big time D1 school if switches to TE at the next level. QB is just a harder path. Big athletic kid with tremendous field awareness and vision. Any school that uses the TE/FB H back scheme should give Benke a look. 

Well that was ugly. Hats off the birds way to take care of business.

Dixie WOW. 2 weeks to prepare for this game and that’s what you do?

It’s hard to prepare for a huge running QB. You can’t really simulate it in practice full go.

Could not have said it any better myself.

What you can do is make the other team’s offensive line have to work. Dixie used 2 defensive linemen the whole night with 4 linebackers (2 walked up), and 5 DBs. sent the house every play. Highlands would come to line see who they had and boom. You know why? Because 1 they are bigger upfront and 2 Dixie had 6 in box compared to highlands 7/8 in the box. 

Lefts flip over to the offensive side. 
You know the other team only gives up 65 yards rushing a game compared to 275.5 yards in the air. You come out and think the run going to work nope. When Dixie threw it, it was from one hash to the other side of the field past the numbers 5 yards down the field. That’s a far throw with no time to create any separation. Now when the middle of the field is open all night and you only throw it there 3 times ( 2 to the TE for 2TDs and 1 slant) that’s a problem.

Agreed .. those 35 yard passes to gain 5 yards are a recipe for disaster. Pick 6 written all over it.

2DLmen is a head scratcher for sure.

Sounds like you're the only one loosing sleep over it lol.  I guess the browns were better than the Bengals in 21 because they beat them twice even though the Bengals make it to the superbowl. Teams never had bad games,  or get better. That can't be a thing.
