I have it on good authority the Birds were running plays in, instead of signaling, because Dixie stole the signs the first game and was using them the next day at the JV game.  I believe Coach Prime said it best - I can give you the whole game plan, you still have to have the horses to stop me.  Dixie didn’t have the horses.

Is this for real or just a joke? I laughed at first. Is it stealing signs if you just can remember or write down the signals.

It is true. Call it whatever you want but Dixie's staff was calling out the plays during the first Varsity meeting and the JV game. Having the signals didn't seem to matter much in the first game. But for that reason, HHS decided to huddle before each play. Didn't slow them down much at all. Dixie also sent film last week with plays removed from both games for some reason which seemed odd.

I have only seen a small amount of their offense but they seem to run a spread formation but do run it up the middle a lot. They average around 12 pass attempts per game and 30 rush attempts per game. They do have the second leading rusher in 5A from a yardage perspective.

They have a really good RB. If Highlands stops that they should dominate. North’s only hope is long sustained clock chewing drives. Plus a turnover or two.

As always, this Friday the game will be live broadcasted on the FT Film and Broadcast YouTube channel!

Go Highlands!

Just checked the forecast for today and it looks great. Light rain all day. Rolling Thunder starting around 7:30 pm.

Just drove by the Cecil, appeared to be practicing "running the clock". ?‍♂️

Go Birds!!!

Was @Shake Nthere already???

Counting down the minutes to this one.  It’s too bad we can’t have a running clock while waiting for the game like the one we’ll have tonight.
