Round 1

 

:laugh::thumb: Yep, after re-readng all these posts prior to tonights game, I guess you still have to play the game :flame:

 

I do think this was the wake-up call that the Birds needed though. Look for a different team next week. Sorry Hit Catch Throw it could be a long night next week

Of all the opponents in 5A, I think the one that scares me most is John Hardin. I know that back in 2005 (when they were in old 4A) they were very good and gave an undefeated Saint X all they wanted and more in the playoffs (losing by one point)... that memory has stuck with me since JH has come into 5A with Highlands.

 

A big X factor for Highlands (and indeed any team) is injuries. For the state champ and runner-up, there are STILL FIVE GAMES LEFT TO PLAY... THAT'S ONE-THIRD OF THE ENTIRE SEASON+POSTSEASON!!!! Highlands seems like they are definitely tops in 5A RIGHT NOW, but God forbid the 'Birds get unlucky and have some key injuries in early playoff games, and everything can change. Of course, injuries can hurt any team, but when you consider that HHS is the clear frontrunner right now, any potential unknowns (like injuries) will have a relatively bigger impact on the frontrunner, since it upsets the status quo.

 

 

 

FYI, not that Scrimmages mean a lot, but John Hardin beat Bryan Station in their scrimmage this season 21 - 7. Station's only score came from a long run by their fast RB.
