Rivalry week!

 

Nice!!!!!:thumb:

Hey, that's my sheet!:idunno:

I can't sleep on that now :notworthy:

LN, I bet your wife is ticked at you for hanging the Living Room drapes outside

Newport 1980

 

9-1 and don't make the playoffs. :cry: (Family T would have to agree)

 

 

Runner-up, Belfry 1979: tear-away jersey game state-semi's. :cry:

I will agree with both of these. Those nights were heartbreaking. I remember them distinctly.

Clearly people have different ways of defining "worst loss in HHS history." When I think "worst loss," I equate that with "most embarrassing loss. Highlands losing to Male at home 30-0 in 2001 (a game that was ended at halftime on account of weather, so there's no telling what the final score may have been if the full game had been played), Highlands losing to Rockcastle County 45-6 in 2002 (RC then got beat pretty handily by Boyle County in the finals, making this loss look even worse), Highlands losing to Boyle County 44-10 in the 2003 state finals (especially given how high-profile the game was, with it being a state finals game), and Highlands losing to Louisville Saint Xavier 45-0 in 2005... these are games in recent memory that stick out to me as being among the worst (i.e. most embarrassing) losses for Highlands.

It sure is one of them. Having a tough time thinking of one that I'd consider worse. Give me a hand.:idunno:

 

Losing 35-0 to Male, when the game was called at half. In '97 CovCath was senior laden, and very very talented. It wasn't much of an upset.

My man!!

 

I knew you'd be proud, and I meant every word of my post too! :thumb:

Oh, you are mean; very mean.

Losing to...Campbell Cty in 1975 :cry:

I dunno, I actually kind of got a chuckle out of it....a little. I've certainly seen and heard worse over the years.

Any opinions on what loss that would be?

 

In 1983 Highlands was going for it's 3rd straight class 3A State Championship. They were 10-0 and had won 35 (?) straight games or somewhere around that number.

 

For some reason, (rule has been changed since) they had to travel to Conner even though they were number 1 in the district. They lost 13-6 in a heartbreaking game, Bill Herman's last as the coach. Melvin Miles for Conner had 65 yard run to highlight this monumental upset. Conner went on to win what I believe is their only State Title.

 

Since we are on the subject, would Highlands 1992 defeat of CovCath be the Colonel's "worst" defeat? CovCath had defeated Moeller that season and handed the Bird's a loppsided loss in their first meeting.

In reading some of these post it sound like no one wants anything to do with the game on Saturday.
