I think there were only about 35 seconds left on the 4th down pass.

HHS took over on downs with 45.7 left. That was taken from a text I sent when it occured.

Highlands Defense has been exposed. CCH did whatever they wanted today. They beat themselves by going for 3 instead of 7 and missing a late fieldgoal. Either of those points would've been plenty for the Colonels to nail a FG at the end of regulation. Highlands walked out of there today with their feathers between their legs. For a two platoon system' date=' our Birds D looked awful tired.......Not looking forward to this rematch. ouch[/quote']

 

I thought that going for the FG was the right call. No way you want to come out of that with zero points. The series had been a trainwreck offensively so you get some points to cut it to 4. Smart play.

Could have sworn I sent someone a text saying 4th down with 35 seconds left. Not sure now.

Ohhhhh yeeaahhhhh......

 

I just cruised through the prediction thread.

 

I thought that I was the only one that did that !! ( My prediction was 42-3 Birds ) How much crow do I have to eat ?

Welcome back Highlands/Cov Cath Rivalry! You have been missed. :thumb:

 

 

That was the best game between these two teams since the miracle catch (for CC) game at Highlands, several years ago.

:lol::lol:

 

I only go back and look when the game doesn't go as expected. There were a lot of people who predicted this to be a blowout so there should be plenty of crow for everyone.

Sheehan came in averaging over 30 yards per catch.

 

Had 1 for 80 if my memory is correct. Up goes that average.

Will agree with Thunderbird on the 45 seconds left on the clock.

This game could have been made into a blowout, when the Birds got a turnover, deep in Colonel territory, while leading by 14. But they went three and out and then gave CCH an enormous runback on the punt. They go right in for the score and then Towles fumbles at their 20 on the first play of the next series. That gave them three more points to make it a four point game.

For the most part yes, but when CCH had 1st and goal at the one after the fumble recovery, the Highlands D line rose to the occcasion and handled the CCH O-Line and kept them out of the endzone.

Are you kidding me with that comment? We fumbled the ball on snap on third down. CCH offensive line did their job all day long!

Rule 13

Anyone hear any news on the Highlands player injured on the last play of the game. I believe it was Bowden. Saw the ambulance coming in as we were leaving.

For me this game was an instant classic. I will go ahead and say now when these 2 play again, PT will have the ball in his hands at the end of the game. When Pat has the ball it's over.....

Can't wait to hear all the shop talk at the Merchants/Music Festival. Thunderbirds is playing tonight, that is, The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
