And most of those 100 yards came on one QB scramble. And no the backup isn't fast. BG's quarterback would run circles around him. JH played St.X in 2005. They had more speed than St.X. St.X won the battle in the trenches...just as Highlands will. I've seen your tailback and kick returners...they're usually your quickest players on the team. Impressed, but not overly. :thumb:

Then, no, you haven't seen them. :lol:

 

Don't worry about our QB not being fast. It won't be an issue. :thumb:

Highlands current quarterback (Towles) is not slow. He doesn't run much but when he does, he can move pretty well.

Well, you got to at least give them credit for believing in their team. This is the class 5A state championship game. In theory it should be an awesome game.

Go Birds:banana:

 

In Theory...:laugh:

Yes, I just told you I saw them. Excuse my keyboard...it stutters sometimes.

Well in theory a semifinal should be a competitive game and we just saw a running clock. Good luck to your Bulldogs.

With the protection he has been getting from the big dogs up front you could tie his shoelaces together and he would just stand in the pocket and drop bombs on you all night !:ylsuper:

John Hardin has a very good defensive line, probably the best I have seen all year. When they go with their base defense and put 8 in the box, they are very tough to run on. I think they get in trouble when they go to their 3-4 nickel package, too vulnerable between the tackles with that look. I know Highlands has an excellent O-line but they will be challenged by that bunch from JH, really good looking kids up front.

 

Speed wise, JH is VERY fast. The Savoy kid is about as quick as they come at the HS level and Wright is not too far behind. Their QB does what he needs to do, runs the Wing-T extremely well but doesn't "wow" you with his arm. Favorite target by far is his big TE, Simmons. Kid always seems to get lost in space when JH runs waggle.

 

Overall, it's the ultimate test for JH, but I don't think Highlands is giving this squad enough credit. Well, I take that back, HHS fan's aren't giving them enough credit. Both teams will show up, you can count on that. JH will give up some points but they can light up the scoreboard as well, ton of athletes. Should be a heckuva ballgame, 14 points or less either way IMO.

Hey Bird fans just remember anything can happen. This is why we play the game. Lets just hope for a good ball game and let the kids have some fun.

EasyPro, just tell that one guy that you know to see if he can convince JH to mail in the trophy to Highlands. With their speed and talent they could beat the Indianpolis Colts. We're playing against the greatest Bluebird team in history. Heck, if they fielded just the awesome talent that they have on this message board, they'd beat JH by 3 TD's. We'd be lucky to be water boys for Ryle, and Dixie Heights, and Simon Kenton, what with all their glorious championship football history.

 

You Yankees up North crack me up.

Thanks for the compliment ! :clap: We won that war and I think we will win this one too !:jump::ylsuper:

BTW SK and Ryle have played in a Football Championship game, has JH?

 

You want to know what the biggest difference between JH and HHS is?

Getting to this game is a big/huge deal for JH and they will proudly hold up their heads to proclaim that at least we made it to the Championship game but for HHS, if they don't win this game, it's won't be great season!

How many years of school history did it take for SK and Ryle to get to participate in a finals game? I'd bet it was more than the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop. For the first few years of their school history, were they going through Trinity and St. X? Has Highlands?

 

I'm glad you know the minds of the JH players. That's just what they were chanting in pre-season practice, "Yeah, lets just get to the state title game. We'll feel like winners then."

The question is, will JH consider it a losing season if they lose the championship game? I know the seniors at Highlands definitly will. In Ft.Thomas, like it or not, if you don't win state, it wasn't a good year.

That did sound like someting out of the Civil War! I was thinking the same thing.

 

"We're gonna whip the tarnation outta them dagburn Yanks! They ain't gonna take Richmond." :lol:
