What is HHS' official and unofficial maximum capacity?

 

It depends on who you ask. Don't ask Roger

I wonder if Highlands will take the same approach as they did in 2006. I know I was one of the unhappy ones who were basically forced to buy HHS season passes to ensure me that I had seats for a customer for that one game. I don't even think HHS sold presale tickets. The only presale tickets were season passes.

 

Does anybody know when the season tickets go on sale? Are they sold in the bookstore at Highlands? (If the answers are against BGP rules please sendme a PM. (Thanks)

I have heard there will be national media there. If it is broadcasted this could keep some away that will watch it on TV. However, the media alone will be bringing 20 cars that will have to be close to the school. Talk already about where they will be parking them.

 

Why national media? Don't get wrong I think that coverage for the kids is great and I applaud it. But why?

That I don't know. All I can say is what I heard. I don't ask many questions. Maybe I should start.

[Frank329]

Knowing you and LN for many years, I listen to the both of you and found that I can always rely on what both of you say. Your good people.

Maybe somebody thinks this game will be exciting enough to draw a large T V audience. I have watched many H. S. games on T.V. that were completly boring,and these were supposed to be some great teams from Florida and Texas ....ect ...ect. One thing for sure X and HHS will not be boring. As coach M. said he wants to be national champs,not just state champs. One way to get recognized is to be on national T.V. (IMO)

Because they can. Look around the program and you will see that with Cris Collinsworth and Merrill Hoge being involved I'm sure One of them could and would be willing to get something done. Why not!!!!!

Highly doubt that.

Highly doubt that.

And the pre-game jousting has officially begun.

I am going out on a limb here and say that there is probably not a tougher high school football schedule in the country than Cincy St X's.

[Frank329]

Based on their schedule:

 

Aug. 28, vs. Cincinnati Colerain (Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown at UC’s Nippert Stadium), 8:30 p.m.

 

Sept. 4, at Indianapolis Cathedral

 

Sept. 11, at Louisville (Ky.) St. Xavier

 

Sept. 18, Louisville Trinity

 

Sept. 25, at Fort Thomas (Ky.) Highlands

 

Oct. 2, Cincinnati Elder

 

Oct. 9, Cincinnati LaSalle

 

Oct. 17, Lakewood St. Edward, 2 p.m.

 

Oct. 24, at Cleveland St. Ignatius, 2 p.m.

 

Oct. 30, at Cincinnati Moeller

 

Their easiest game may be Cincinnati LaSalle. Just my opinion.

Some teams let it all hang out. 56-7 wins against teams not on your level is pointless.

[hoosierbirdfan]

Highly doubt that.

 

If they played in 3A,where they should play,they are one of the best team in the country!! What would their won/loss record be iif they played in 3A from the get go? They constantly play 6A teams and usually one or two of the big boys from Ohio,and are very competitive, in all of those games!!! You can have your doubts, but I'll put the birds in a class of their own,at the top!!

[hoosierbirdfan]

Highly doubt that.

 

I 'm curious,every year Highlands tries to schedule the powerhouse teams to play them, and the only ones that take them up on their offer is the ones from Ohio. Why is that? :scared:

[Voice of Reason]

Well, not sure if they meet your qualification as "powerhouse" teams, but Louisville Manual and Beechwood both added Highlands games this year. Beechwood of course has the titles but they are 1A so that may not be the powerhouse you are referring to. But at least two KY schools stepped up to face Highlands. Plus Ryle has agreed to play Highlands twice.
