Fun game. Had to watch the overtimes with no sound. The screaming by the announcer on every play was way over the top. 

IT IS 2ND AND GOAL AT THE 4!!!

Yeah, I absolutely love the Highlands Film and Broadcast doing the game, but somebody has to provide that feedback to them. That is excruciating to listen to. 

The silence in this thread is deafening.

I’ll break the silence: is there any concern with the kicking game? I haven’t seen the film yet but rushing for over 200 yards shouldn’t be cause for concern.

Makes sense and the Highlands fan in me feels like this is another underachieving team that has a very tough schedule.  Good thing Highlands won last night or they had 5-5 written all over them.

What is the concern about the kicking game?

Care to elaborate a little?  5-5 and underachieving catch my attention.

Sure, Cooper, Boyle, Ryle, CCH, Elder, Scott County, and barely won against a young, mistake prone Douglass squad last night.

I am not buying.  You mentioned underachieving.  What leads you to that comment after one game?

I don't care if you buy or not.  It is my opinion, I am not impressed. 

Guys posted this last night in the update thread. I think Douglass has the potential to be a pretty good team if they stay healthy, but they are very inexperienced. At this point of the year I feel as I can say (as I've been with the program since its inception this is the least experienced team (only 12 seniors and just 3 returning starters on offense and 5 on defense) and weakest team they have fielded at this point of the season since their first year back in 2017.

You said the silence on the thread is deafening. Did you want us to chime in so you could defend the way the Birds played? Or was it a shot at posters bc the Birds won? I just asked about the kicking game because there were multiple missed and blocked kicks. If the kicks were made or not blocked the Birds win taking a knee.

When was the last time you saw a Highlands team “settle” for 4 field goals?  

I wouldn’t have a clue. But the update thread said there were multiple missed and blocked kicks. that's why I asked. I’m not sure what it looking for here.

I believe the Douglass defense only returned 2 starters from last years team. Some of the kids starting now might of played some but I don’t remember seeing that many kids playing meaning time out there. Only adding to how inexperienced the overall team is.
