We don't think so over here in the East

 

Name 2 teams, East or any other direction with more of a winning tradition

What we are saying is, all else being equal, take the team with the tradition. You can't win being AS good...you have to be better!

So I should picked Highlands to win the 3-a title every year? (based on your arguement)

You would be right more than 1/3 of the time. Thats pretty good.

I'm not denying the numbers. Highlands has one of the elite programs in the state. But to say tradition throws the football on the screws to a receiver in the end zone or tradition makes the diving catch is plain ridiculous. If it was, Highlands would be state champions every single year!

 

Paris has a great football tradition. How come tradition isn't making the plays for them this year? or last year? Fort Knox has a great tradition. Why isn't tradition making the plays for them? Hopkinsville has a great football tradition and how many state championships has tradition won them in the last 30 years? Zero.

 

You can give credit to Highlands' talent, home field, the crowd, coaching -- they may win the game, but tradition will not factor in the W or the L.

 

 

What the posters are talking about is not only tradition, but experience; the players that were on the field, on the sidelines, in the locker room, and in practice last season all hve the experience of knowing what it takes to win the big game.

 

Plus with tradition comes expectations; we all know the higher the expectations, the greater the achievement; all of Ft. Thomas expects a State Title every year, and the players start shortly after the State Finals working to achieve that the next year. They put in MULTIPLE hours a day in spring practice, early summer practice, and once 3 a days start.

 

That is how the tradition of Highlands football will help them win Friday night.

Ashland has a VERY good tradition in football prior to the KHSAA, But as I look at the win/loss record against Ft. Thomas Highlands it stands Ashland 5 Highlands 17 and 1 tie...

 

I guess I'll say that's pretty solid tradition for the Birds.

Not to mention, this week, the seniors are practicing for the 42nd game of their high school careers...the juniors their 27th...How many games have the FC seniors practiced for? Let me help you...this is their 34th. That is only two games short of an extra regular season for the Birds.

 

I would never say that FC can't win, (in fact I haven't even said Highland would win) all I am saying is while fans, tradition or history won't make one play on the field, they can still play a very important roll.

True!!!! I thought about that today as my team practiced and many others had already turned in the equipment. In a 2 year span of reaching the finals a team could be another year experienced with the young kids :eek:

 

To be honest I'd like to go back to the 11 game regular season.

Do you really want me to answer that last question? :banana:

 

It wasn't directed toward you. :banana:

 

But if you wanna take a stab at it, it's all you.

Sounds like a plan. I'll send your Bluebird member card in the mail. Just need your address.

I see what you mean! :eek:

 

1961 1964 1968 1970 1975 1977 1981

1960 But tradition isn't throwing passes and making plays. 1982

2004 2000 1999 1998 1996 1992 1989

Don't worry, he'd have an imposter sticker on it so everyone would know.

One thing is for sure: Franklin County is going to have to come out and play the best game in their program's history on Friday if they are going to beat HHS. Who knows... maybe it will happen, but I doubt it.

 

HHS 35

FC 16

I sat 10 feet from the scouts that Mueller sent. First series, 3 and 10 for FC and they throw a deep post for a score. Let's say the scouts were not prepared for that and were discussing where the receiver came from on the route.

Well, that's why Mueller sent scouts to watch the FC-SO game. Now, HHS' staff will know exactly where that FC receiver came from!!! Also, why would you be surprised that the HHS scouts "were not prepared" for FC's play? How many FC games do you think HHS has sent scouts to this year??? :confused: I'm guessing none before last Friday's game.
