42-14

Highlands scoring drives of the half are 22, 24, and 16 yds. Turnovers have killed JC once again.

We are runnign out of time. I need 21 more. come on Birds

Come on Birds 4 more TD's to get my spread.

 

I'll settle for a win regardless of spread.

Its academic at this point. Nice first half effort by JC but the Birds can score quick as you see.

Turnover by Highlands with under 2:00 min to play. The game is clearly out of reach. It was a great effort by JC, but everyone knew this would be a tall task.

TD Johnson Central. Dillon with the 1 yd TD run. With 10 secs left:

 

Highlands: 42

JC: 21

 

Ballgame.

Congrats to the Bluebirds and good luck the rest of the way. JC, it was a great turn around from the 0-4 start, you have nothing to hang your heads about.

Great year for the eagles.

 

Highlands is just..... well, Highlands.

 

They will win another state title. Nobody in 5A can touch them.

Congrats Highlands! Way to play!

 

Also, congrats to JC for a gutsy showing... I can't say I'm surprised that JC was able to run the ball pretty well. It sounds like some 3rd Q TOs hurt them badly.

Very nice finish for JC, they should be proud. I heard they brought a ton of fans.

Have a feeling this may have been the birds toughest test in playoffs on way to another title. great job birds.
