That is amazing! I would say they are due to win another. Based on the Laws of average.

Did ya put * on them rings to ?

Back to the subject guys.

With a "normal" schedule like Highlands played back in my days, Highlands would have been 10-2 last year. But your point is a good one and I'm sure these kids, like the kids on every past Highlands team, is very motivated to win state. And I'm sure the Ryle kids are motivated to lay one on the Birds.

 

...one of the "2" isn't the "humpbacks" is it???? (col) (crying out loud)

Jumping in late here but and this is no disrespect to Ryle and their program because I was a huge fan last season as they made it to the Finals. With that said, they are running into one of the fastest, strongest, hungriest Highlands teams in over 20 yrs and that is a recipe for a blowout. I'm sorry but I like Highlands big in this one. Ryle lost a few studs and wont be able to stop the fast Highlands backfield.

 

Not to mention the 7-5 record as well as losing to CovCath 2X last season was unacceptable to not just Mueller and the coaching staff but everyone of those players. They are Jacked up for this opener.

 

 

Highlands 44

Ryle- 14

I don't see the Birds breaking much of a sweat, I say 42-7.

I hope that they come in with that attitude.

Got to give Highlands the edge, but I can't see Ryle getting ran over...

I would agree with your statement but it is going to be a battle.

I hope that they come in with that attitude.

 

 

Don't think the team will as they appear to be pretty focused on the path ahead of them. They certainly know what it will take to get there. Fans are a whole different matter.

I hope that they come in with that attitude.

 

 

I don't see that happening at all. Its the first game of the year so they should by that fact alone be psyched; Highlands has historically been really ready at the beginning of the year because of their off season work outs and practices; the kids have a burr under their butts about last season; and they want to prove a point to the Raiders, that inspite of the Raiders making it to the 4A finals last year, Highlands is still the premier football program in N. Ky. I'd be greatly surprised and disappointed if the Birds are looking past the Raiders and coming in with a laid back attitude. If they do, it will be a long drive home from Union.
