Good luck to young Mr. Guidugli! Just being in the mix is an honor.

Just curious, how many kids with that last name have gone threw Highlands, seems like every other year theres one signing with a D 1 school or maybe its just me?

Tony is the 4th of 4 brothers. The other 3 went D1 in football. Gino & Ben to Cincinnati and Jeff to Southeastern Louisiana.

I don’t know, but there seems to be only about 47 last names used by Highlands players. It’s special to read about generation upon generation of Bluebirds vying for another state title. Phenomenal.

Which is why there's so much tradition at Highlands. It starts with the parents and follows down to their children. :thumb:

 

Interesting tidbit. All 4 of the Guidugli brothers have state title rings.

47 seems high to me. I would have guessed lower.
