Highlands is a machine. Is there anybody in Northern Ky that can play with them?

It's silly, but it's a legit question. St. X only scores 7, Dixie scores 9? But then St. X goes over and looks like a different team against Elder. Not taking away from HHS, they won it and deserve it. But it lends credibility to the idea that St. X may have been flat last week and HHS did exactly what they needed to do to take advantage of that (Which is fine, since that is what good teams do).

 

Dixie is not better than St. X to answer the question, but it certainly is interesting to think about it. Is any team that scored more than 7 against HHS this season better than St. X? Not neccessarily. From what I heard HHS defense was just stellar that night.

 

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have sent that in a PM. What was I thinking. Didn't think that would produce a response like that one. Hopefully you are totally kidding. Right? BTW, there was nothing legit about that question. C'mon, listen to what you are saying.

 

Now the game. HHS I felt looked pretty good playing with a new QB. Towles did an outstanding job with all things considered. He threw some really nice balls and some not so nice. But so do all QB's. Actually a lot better than you and I. He can run too.

 

Now the Bye week. What to do?

I was not kidding oncesoever lol, but you're exactly the type of HHS fan that makes me recall why I rarely root for them in the first place. Tsk Tsk.

 

I clearly stated I know Dixie is not better than St. X. Did you miss that or...? The IDEA is what is legit. Is any team that score more than 7 on HHS this season better than St. X since that's all St. X could muster up? No they're not. From people who have seen St X. multiple times and HHS multiple times, it was a somewhat flat performance by St. X (offensively) and a stellar one by HHS overall meaning HHS won it outright. Simmer down, I didn't insult HHS. Goodness. I'm quite aware the "is Dixie better than St X." accompanied by your response was sarcasm.

Teams that get their butt kicked always look flat. Forget about the last 20 years of N. Ky. teams vs. Cincinnati. This year's Highlands team is that good. I have been posing the question since early in the summer - is this the best Highlands team ever? Every week they take another step toward proving they are.

 

 

I'm aware the team is very good. Never said otherwise. But it doesn't change that St. X may have came out flat. I've never seen St. X in person, but I've seen HHS. From people who've seen both, it seems St. X was flat offensively and HHS was just hitting on all cylinders from the get go and looked the best they had all season.

I really don't believe in teams being flat in a game like the HHS vs. X game. Do you think X took it easy and didn't work hard in practice? Do you think they walked into that stadium with all that energy in there and yawned? Do you think when the whistle blew they were going half speed? Being flat is an excuse used when someone can't/refuses to believe the other team is just better. Highlands is better than X.

Having played sports myself, I know that there are without a doubt games where my team was flat. Things didn't click, they didn't work, and it didn't feel like we were doing anything different but it just wasn't there and then the very next game it'd go back to normal. It happened in AAU states in big games or in very small games on the weekends during our regular season. I'm sure you've played sports, I suppose you just never felt that way about your team. I don't think I'm using them being flat as an excuse or saying it would have been a different outcome.

As Guru mentioned in another thread, it was the perfect storm. I thought St. X looked flat too. James was trying to fire them up, but no-one seemed to respond. The offense ran during that game wasn't their typically, line up and run it down your throat, and then pass every now and then to keep you off-balance. They tried to play a finesse game with Highlands, and with their speed, you cannot do that. I will give them credit though, they played almost a flawless game and got the monkey off their back. They were the better team that night. To say they're the best team in the Greater Cincinnati area, they do have a valid argument. However, to say the best Highlands' team ever? No way.

Nice win Bluebirds..

Totally laughable! I need to start using the more I guess. This all sounds good to me.:thumb:

That is for another thread, and probably later in the season. But there is "no way" you can say "no way". They beat a GCL team and no other Highlands team has done that.

So, based on your belief, Ole Miss was better than Florida last year?

Totally laughable! I need to start using the more I guess. This all sounds good to me.:thumb:

 

Again...you rarely make sense and always call everyone out in any thread Highlands is mentioned almost in a provoking way. I wish you could see how it reflects on the team you're so passionate about. I'm all for Highlands, especially after what they did last week, but you make it kind of difficult. :thumb:

Hey man, you brought it up. I was just responding. Those teams that they would get compared with (98 team) didn't get the opportunity to play a GCL game.

So, based on your belief, Ole Miss was better than Florida last year?

 

Florida didn't lose that game because they were flat. They were actually solidly in the lead at halftime. Turnovers are the great equalizer in football and Florida had some bad turnovers that cost them that game. Being flat had nothing to do with it.

Highlands is a machine. Is there anybody in Northern Ky that can play with them?

 

Most rhetorical question I have ever heard! Nobody in NKY has been able to play with them since 06' when CovCath beat them twice.
