Can we get rid of the ? at the end of the thread title?:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa

Not yet. Until Florida and Texas finish their seasons, we will be #2 for now. Hopefully we are able to remain #2. I bet Don Bosco is feeling the same way. Next Monday night we will know.

Do you think a 3 or 4 will jump?

Congrats to the Bluebirds!!!

 

I don't think there is a chance to get to #1 so now let's hope it holds right there at #2. The #3 and #4 ranked teams play each other this weekend and #4 (Abilene, TX) is undefeated, so it is possible Abilene could leapfrog Highlands and Don Bosco if they win. It all depends on how Jim Halley sees it.

#3 playing #4 from Texas. Unfortunately KY and NJ football not as highly thought of as TX. Florida big school teams are #12 and #13. Don't think they will jump, but maybe Texas. Let's hope for a bad, close game, not one team dominating the other.

Congrats to the Bluebirds!!!

Lets all agree to disagree. The fact of the matter is HHS is ranked and not one of us can change this. For HHS it is a great thing to boast about. For the naysayers, they can can moan all they want and nothing changes. HHS is one of the winningest teams all time in the NATION folks and that is going to add to their case. By the way, Male is also top ten in this category. All season long I have seen posts after the USA 25 poll from around the country about this team and that team being great and should be ranked , etc....

When you have a team win three state titles in a row, one loss in four years and playing up in class, somebody will take notice. And it doesn't hurt if you get a little PR from some or a coach who is as proud of his program and not afraid to tell the world. Congrats BIRDS on a great season and the wonderful memories. Take the ranking, whatever it is, and be proud.

I just jumped to the end of this thread. I don't care what the haters say. Congrats to Dale, his coaches and this year's Bluebird team. I believe that national rankings accumulate over the years. No other class at Highlands has the record this senior class does. Good job to all of those associated with the program.

Let me ask people here on BGP. What if you were a high school football player and your team won the state championship and ended up finishing 2nd in the country.. Would you not be estatic? This is a great accomplishment for these young men.. Let them and their fans have their day in the sun..This team has earned everything they have gotten.. Can't you just be happy for the Bluebirds????

 

I can tell you for a fact that I know 1 that is super hyped ! :dancingpa

I am a Belfry Pirate thru and thru and always will love my Pirates above all else. But today when I saw Highlands representing KY on a National level, I have to say "luv them Bluebirds!!!"

 

Go Birds, your team and coach are a class act and you guys are well deserving of all the accolades that go along with a winning program. Keep up the good work!!!

 

:banana:

Congratulations Birds

 

After reading some of the posts, I can understand how "The Flat Earth Society" still exists.

Congrats to the Bluebirds in the Fort! A deserved reward for a spectacular year of football. :thumb:
