So when the team is really good people believe they’re going win more? Weird. 

Y'all think Highlands is bad, go over to the Ohio HS message board and look at the Massillon guys. LOL.

The Highlands derangement syndrome that some adults have is worse than Highlands fans. I mean it’s Highlands thread, there will be highlands fans on there talking. The audacity. It’s from the cemetery of football dreams Highlands put in its wake for like 30 years. 

I find myself pacing my house constantly looking at my watch. I can’t wait for Friday!!!

Whose going to have more yards:

a) Giesler rushing 

b) Benke rushing

c) Benke passing

I’ll rank my prediction: I’m going A then C then B.

If I am Cooper I would go all in on stopping Benke running. So I think Cam will have a big day.  A. 
 

The biggest question is what is Highlands going to do to slow down Coopers pass game?

A) Apply more pressure 

B) Double WRs

C) No change

I would attempt to stop the Highlands running game period and force them to beat you throwing the ball. 

Current poll had Birds winning with 68%.

Reg season matchup finished with 75% going with the Birds…..

Why the dip? What has changed for the better for the Jags and what has gotten worse for the Birds?

I think the Birds are 5 Xs better then they were during the regular season…..Are the Jags 10Xs better???

A mix of A & B.

I’m going with D, have a safety roaming back there supporting your DBs…. In regular season there seemed like no one was back there for the big throw support.

I think they are both better than round one and considering this is the semi-finals it means the Jags belong by default vs. during the season when none of us outside of the diehards were sure about the Jags.

I don’t know man. Cougs are red hot. I think it’s going to go down to the wire. Plus they did whatever they wanted on offense last time.

I hear you but I guess I’d feel that way if O’Hara had a nice game last week but only 105 yds passing give or take…. Did they have bus lag from a long ride??? Only caught the 4th qtr on 859sportsradio. 
 

Now if the Scott Co game was there last game, I would agree!

Couple reasons for that, but it doesn't really matter. Jags won last week to earn the chance for redemption vs the Birds. Can't wait to watch it.

If O’Hara has 105 yards passing Friday night I believe the highlands will win easily.

Cooper’s running game has came to life after not doing to much the first half of the season and that first Highlands game. Sophomore running back Keagan Maher only had 3 run attempts in that last Highlands game. Since that game Maher has ran for over 800 yards over their last 7 games and one of the leaders in the state in touchdowns. He has also had real big games the last two weeks against Scott County and Southwestern. Maher has made teams pay if they give a light box to try to stop the passing game of Cooper.
