Well its the battle for the #2 seed in the 5A District 6.....This is a must win game for either team with big playoff implications.

Highlands is absolutely rocking on all cylinders, outscoring their opponents the last 2 games 104-0!  Rio Litmer is probably playing his best ball flinging the pigskin without mistakes.  Rio was a perfect 7 for 7, 134 yds and 4 TDs on Friday at Boone County.

Conner comes into the game after barely getting by Dixie on Friday with a must win 35-31.  Conner is sitting on the same record as Highlands at 6-2 with the 2 losses against the same opponent that has beaten Highlands in Ryle & Cooper.  Highlands actually made those games close where Conner fell to Ryle 46-8 and Cooper 42-17.  There hasn't to be something said with Conner being at home for this competition.

Should be a fun one on Friday (maybe)....who you have??

Will Highlands make it a running clock for the 3rd straight week or will Conner keep it close?

 

I am thinking not on a running clock because of how much Conner runs the ball. 

I do expect Highlands to win easily. 

As always, if you can't make this matchup in Hebron, I'll be live broadcasting the action on bluebirdsradio.com for free! Live 5-10 minuets before the 7:00 kickoff. 

Conner is a nice RPI bumper for the Birds. They will likely finish 7-3. 

I was excited to see 859 will be livestream this game as well.

I think this game will be closer than most expect.

Slight to Highlands?

Conner coaching staff does a really nice job of scheming their opponents.

No slight. Simply saying Conner should keep it closer than many think IMO. The running qb might be able to make it a little interesting. 

Bird’s need to stay focused.

Not against Cooper or Ryle. Games weren't even close. Highlands will be the same

Against Ryle Hatfield didn't play QB much. He is a difference maker with the ball in his hand(mostly running). 

 

Against Cooper they moved the ball better than most on the ground.
