2026 Schedule..  I haven't seen an official schedule with dates but I believe everyone we played in 2025 should be on contract for 2026, therefore here is the home/away opponents how it would line up:

Home:  Cooper, Boyle Co, Harrison Co, Elder, Mason Co

Away:  Frederick Douglass, Campbell Co, Ryle, Covington Catholic, Scott Co

I was just going off of what was shown on the Highlands Athletics website, which is still showing that game at Highlands.

Was last year's game at Highlands, I take it?

Yes, last year was in Ft Thomas, so this year will be in Georgetown.

 

This is a tough schedule for what will be a very good Birds team.

Think they'll be better or worse than last year? Or hard to say. 

Wish the Pioneers where on the schedule.

I am just an outside observer who doesn't know much. But I think if they put Armstrong at QB, use Tayden for gadget stuff, they should be very good.

Same, outside observer, but I definitely agree with starting Armstrong at QB.

I disagree.

I would start Armstrong at QB and using Lorenzen as a "Swiss Army Knife" on offense.

When did Highlands last win a state championship?  It has been so long ago some of us wonder if it will ever happen again.

Highlands loses a lot, but also has a lot to build from.
