Good job Birds. I said Dixie would have to score 50 to make it a game. Highlands is an impressive of a high school football team I've seen in many years. Number 78 for Dixie had a lot of heart.

 

 

I could not agree with you more. Wes has impressed me all year, but last night he really impressed the heck out of me. Kid was hurt but kept going out there busting his behind. I looked for him after the game on the field when the coaches and parents got finished talking to them but he had already left the field. I really wanted to tell him what a fine football player he was. I was also impressed with Klei and Wilson. There are some real gamers on that team who left every thing they had on the field. Well done young men; well done.

Congrats to all the Birds!

The JV scored and Defense held onto the shutout.

 

Dixie did leave it all on the field, congrats to them on their season.

Rumor has it that Dixie players were spitting on Highland's banner (the pre-game endzone banner) as it layed on the sideline near where they entered the field. Hope it's a rumor. If it's true maybe they learned a lesson.....don't give a very good team a reason to get even more fired up about playing you.

 

No need for this on here. It will ruin the thread.

I heard the same thing though. Like Hermi said I don't think you need to get the Birds any more fired up..

The statement by the Birds in this one is the shutout. Talk all you want about the offense, but the Birds defense this year is what makes this team perhaps the best HHS team. Shutting out Dixie is IMPRESSIVE!!

The game ruined this thread. I'm like 10 minutes late and the game is over.. I wonder what the deal was at half for Dixie. The coaches came out way before the players. Then the players are very late coming out. I will agree that 78 played his heart out. He couldn't hardly line up, then they run a play where he had to pull. Towles really looks good at QB for HHS. Go Birds!:dancingpa

Okay, since it looks like no one is going to bite, I'll just have to brag on myself. Midway through the third quarter, Patrick Towles launched a long bomb to the Highlands side of the south end zone. The pass sailed a little long and went out of bounds; but it still had a lot of heat on it and bounced on the track. The ball then proceeded to bounce above a concrete platform and over a railing...where it nailed my nephew right in the chest. He bobbled it (gotta work on the kid's hands) and it headed my way. It jumped two people and landed in my grasp. It was my very first pass reception at Highlands...and it only took 44 years. :ylsuper:

 

I was so enraptured with my accomplishment that I didn't even hear the ball boy pleading with me to throw the ball back to him. I got flustered and tried to pass it through the railings, which wasn't even close to possible...then I franticly tossed it over the rail like a pirate dumping an explosive overboard.

 

In any case, it was my proudest moment at DCM! :clap:

 

Hey, I wonder if I still have any eligibility left?

 

Seriously? I missed that. I was trying to figure out what you were talking about, but was coming up empty. I wouldn't have picked you for a wideout.:clap:

Even though the game was boring. That half time show was worth the price of admission. Great performance by the HHS dance team!

You should never get bored with big victories. It beats the alternative.

Good job Blue Birds.

Great to hear that A.C. was in the game.

Did Highlands commit any turnovers during the game?

 

I think Highlands had one fumble and got it back(no turnover). I believe Abner had an interception for the birds.

Congrats Highlands, but the Bluebirds road to the championship is a joke. HHS get a cakewalk to the finals every year.
