Nice find.

When did HHS collect those extra state titles? They said 21.

[THUNDERBIRDS]

Probably the ones prior to 1960. There were a few that weren't counted because the state wasn't keeping track of them officially just yet. But hey, we will take them....:laugh:

Good article. I have alot of respect for the Highlands program and Coach M.

[Henry521]

Nice article. Would be even better if they could get the kids names right.

 

Brandon Grubbs, Will Barto.:confused:

Coach M. calling his incoming team possibly the best thus far makes me chuckle not because it isn't true, but because I know I can look forward to him saying this could be the fastest team they've had in a while.:clap: I'm looking forward to see what the Birds can do this season, also the sign in that article is awesome.:thumb:

"Nestled amongst the hills of Northern Kentucky resides one of the top programs in the nation."

 

Having been born in West Virginia and with a mother who hails from Hazard, I think of that scenery as "hills." In Fort Thomas I think of it as flat. Guess I am pretty bias in topography. All in all I liked any article that promotes the athletes in the Commonwealth. I think the Commonwealth in athletics has been kept secret or ignored for too long.

I would say Fort Thomas is actually pretty hilly, though it's not really nestled in hills, and ALOT of those hills are covered in cement.

Actually, I have always just considered it on top of a river valley. Not really hills.:idunno:

 

Really, that was the comment that I thought of least when reading the article. Love to see Highlands get nice publicity and don't care if they call Fort Thomas a desert.

This site may answer some questions raised in this thread.

Would have even been better if they said they were a 3A school playing in a 5A division.

If you live there you might see it that way, do some landscaping there, and suddenly it's got some pretty steep inclines here and there.:lol:

I also thought about that, they could've stated that although they may not get as much notorioty(spelling) as those schools from FL,CA,TX, that most of those school also don't play up 2 classes.:thumb:

Very nice article. Impressvie History. Happy for you and the recognition you garnered. Perhaps most impressive - IMHO - is the fact of "playing up" several classes, as well as the willingness to take on "bigger schools."

 

Would still like to see a series with the Rocks. Too bad for us that we have not been awarded any 'Mythical Championships."

 

Congrats Again.
