"I can't wait to see your 6'4 250 (5.4 40 guys) come after Bardo in the shotgun. The difference in this game unlike the others played by Highlands this year is that Bardo isn't going to just run outside the pocket and wait for Buten or Drennan to run down field for a bomb. He's going to the outside in 5th gear with a "catch me you can mentality". This will be the determing factor in the Birds success against the Bombers defense. I'm not sure who will ultimately win the game, but if you have think that you're facing a Louisville St. X or Louisville Trinity type of offense you're going to be in for a shock"

In the prediction thread, I especially liked the response to jimmyjr's post - "You can't be serious" I think it was, followed by more discussion about how big, fast and fierce St. X was.

Are you serious??? First, he was talking about their O-Line, and secondly, St. X has already seen a better runner at QB than Bardo when they played Cathedral in Week 2. Bardo will probably be the most complete QB that they have seen so far. However, if you think that Highlands is going to "out-athelete," St. X, you are the one in for a shock. It's all well and good to be a homer, just be realistic about it.

 

From what I hear, you can't even play for St.X if you run a 5.4. IMO Highlands will be over matched in this game. The St.X corners will probably be somewhat better than what Bardo faced on last Friday night with Boone, and the front line pressure will be greatly different. I like the fact that they are taking on this challenge which will make them work harder to make plays and get better, but I see St.X controlling a majority of the game. Plus the refs will be on National TV, so that possibly eliminates the chance of some favorable home cooking calls. Good luck to both teams!

 

You can't be serious?

 

Just look at the stats, the answer is right there. And like us Ohio folk have been saying for years, you simply cannot play players both ways and expect to beat schools in Cincy like Colerain, Elder, Moeller, etc. Maybe that works in the Bluegrass, but it ain't gonna fly across the river, I can guarantee you that.

 

For the record I was serious!

I am so pumped up about this victory. Congratulations to all our friends at HHS on this very huge victory over a OH power like X. Awesome, awesome night of football for KY.

 

Enjoy that victory cigar:thumb:

 

I wish I could be there for the post game party.

 

It's a doozy and still going strong. Just wish I could get every one to leave so I can go to bed.

 

Thanks for the good wishes Toots. One heck of a victory.

Congratulations Highlands!!!!

The Bluebirds should challenge the winner of the Lakelyn, FL -DeLaSalle, CA game, which is being played tonight as well; it would be fun to see.

 

There's no way they'd hang with the speed from Cali or Florida:cool:

Congratulations Highlands!

Big Win. But X could not of played much worse.

Congrats to my Nephew Austin Abner and the rest of the Bluebirds. You made us very proud tonight. Congrats on the INT as well.

Great team win! Coaches did an "awesome" job preparing you boy's for this game. You made this former Bluebird proud! Stay focused and your dreams will come true.

Congrats to my Nephew Austin Abner and the rest of the Bluebirds. You made us very proud tonight. Congrats on the INT as well.

He played great! The boy can definitely lay a hit on ya!

This just in:

 

Sherman's march to the the sea (X's Ky Campaign, Lou X, Trinity, HHS) has been pushed back. The south will rise again. No, wait a minute, the South has risen!!!!!!

 

Cam Dierig, you made happen what physics would dictate cannot happen. Heart overcomes all else. When that kid (#78 with a boatload of BCS offers) is playing at some BCS school on Saturdays, make sure you tell your buddies how your 5' 6" frame pancaked him and dominated him all night!

 

Amen.:thumb::banana:

As a Birds fan, I agree.

It's a doozy and still going strong. Just wish I could get every one to leave so I can go to bed.

Okay, the last person just left the party and I can go to bed finally. Just kidding.

 

Birds played one heck of a good game. Defense really stepped up and quieted the doubters. Great execution of a great defensive game plan. In a simple analysis, this was just speed vs size and speed won out.

 

Actually a little surprised that we only scored 12. I'd thought we'd score more. We moved the ball well most of the game but just didn't finish the job in the red zone. Bardo ran the ball well and threw it well when the rare pass was called. Drennan had a big catch as did Gold.

 

Adam Weinel's field goal was sweet as were Hogue's punts.

 

Just an all around good football game.

 

This team is on a mission to go 15-0 and they are very determined.

 

At 9 this morning, the kids and coaches will be back up there getting ready for Dixie. It would be a shame to allow the accomplishments of a win over St. X to be overshadowed by a loss to Dixie on this coming Friday.
