The Freshmen Cougars of Conner travel to the Fort on Thursday.

@TheConfluence

The 5-2 Conner Cougars roll into Fort Thomas to face the 7-0 Highlands Bluebirds this Thursday at 6:30p.

Kickoff: 6:30p, Thursday 10/15/26 at Highlands HS

Team Outlooks

• Conner Cougars (5-2): The Cougars started off hot, winning their first three games before a loss to Lawrenceburg, IN ended their streak.  After bouncing back against Cooper, they lost to one-win Covington Catholic, before a victory against Dixie Heights last week.  Conner has a big line and athletes all over the field so look for the Cougars to come in and try to spoil the Birds’ undefeated season.

• Highlands Bluebirds (7-0): The Birds have punched their ticket to the Championship Game, but they’re hungry for that perfect undefeated season.  Highlands looked solid against Campbell County last week with QB Jaxston Moeves doing it with his arm and his legs.  Moeves accounted for 5 TDs, including one on the ground and 4 TD passes to 4 different receivers (WR Austin Hamblen, WR Gus Bouldin, TE Brady McDowell, RB Noah Brown).  When you add in a kick-off return from WR Drew Thompson, it’s evident Highlands has weapons all over the field.  If you try to take one away, another playmaker steps up.  The Birds have outscored their opponents 226-33 with a defense that only gives up 5.5 ppg and an offense averaging over 37 ppg.

Common Opponents:
CCH: Birds won 42-0, Cougars lost 22-14
Dixie Heights: Birds won 48-8, Cougars won 20-19

That may be the case with every team in NKY.
