This is going to be a good match up. Great blocking against great tackling. I love watching fundamentally sound teams.

What was said in that article hits the nail on the head. When we were watching film on Hopkinsville, it was hard not to just watch Highlands. I mean, the way they block and the EFFORT that their kids put forth on every single play was nothing short of amazing....I honestly have never seen a high school offensive line want to line up and physically try to drive you in the dirt on every play, and I'm not talking about just one or two guys, I'm talking about the entire front 5 or 6.

 

A lot of that is a compliment to their coaching staff, but even more of it is a compliment to the KIDS on the Bluebird team...you can tell that their "Want To" and "Self Drive" is all there and then some.

 

LC, you all are coached very well, and the aggressiveness/physical play that you all have brought with you to the field is a HUGE reason why you all are where you're at right now. Despite how good and physical you have played, you're just going to have to turn it up another knotch or two...and you can...and if you do that, it might just be a very special night.

 

Best of luck from a Mercer County coach, that still to this day and will always call Lincoln County his home. :thumb:

Great post...I love hearing from coaches that HAVE to look at things objectively.

You heading up to the game Buffalo?

I thought that the Letcher Cty coach hit the nail on the head when he said something to the effect that Highlands has "no fat guys". That right there tells the story that skilled atheletes get the job done not only in the high profile positions but in the trenches. Great job Dale and company in having by far this year the best looking offensive line in the State. I guess my point is you dont and you better not be over 250 to play in Dales offense. And for the record this post is coming from a sore arm raggy looking old and out of shape QB.

How many D1 prospects does Highlands have on this years team? Must be a lot.....

Maybe 1 or 2. Thats what makes Highlands so good, no egos or college recuitors to get in the way.

I agree with everything in your post.

That surprises me, I figured team this dominate must be loaded with D1 players.

 

That says a lot about your coaching staff.

The Letcher County coach thinks we have eight.

I read that...was hoping he would go on believing it!

He has to handle a nose guard, and he has a tough chore coming up this Friday night," French said.

 

I guess that he knows that the Birds nose tackle is so fast that he also returns punts. It is strange seeing a number that high back with a low number waiting to receive punts.

Neither 54 or 22 are nose tackles. ??

My mistake...I thought Ryan lined up there from time to time. With all the movement the Birds do, it is hard to tell who is where
