It was 2005 when LexCath blanked Highlands and went on to win their first state title.

 

The best team in Lex Cath history and what is considered to be a big down year for Highlands. Look at 2002, another down year for Highlands, and we went into Lex Cath and beat them at their house. Look for the Birds to roll this year.

I believe Highlands returned the favor in 2008.

LexCath was 4A in 2008. They did not play Highlands in the play-offs. (5A).

Yes. They both start and are in the rotation.

 

Are they both Lefties?

 

This is always a fun week this time of yr in Ft. Thomas. Sorta like a Holiday or something. LOL

Score in 2002 was 31-24, Highlands. It was a pretty good game, hardly a blow-out. I don't know who will win this week so I'm planning on going to the game. Both teams have had great seasons and I'm happy they have the opportunity to play the day after Thanksgiving.

 

I'm not sure I'd tag the Catholic team of 2005 the best ever talent wise (with a few notable exceptions), but they came together as a TEAM, and got it done.

 

Good luck to both sides! Let's hope the weather is good and nobody gets hurt.

Ambidextrous (sp?) Trapp only comes in on series when the D-line brings in a lefty (Arthur Rhodes style), Robinson in for the long haul (Carlos Fischer comes to mind)

 

 

Lol

You are correct it wasnt a blow out, but I never said it was. I would know because I played in that game. If the 2005 team wasn't the best team, they were one of the top teams Lex Cath has ever had. It would be tough to argue them or the 2007 teams, weren't the best teams (only state championships).

LexCath

 

Can some LexCath folks remind us of the seating situation on the visitor side? I seem to recall it was sort of sparse when we were there last several years ago.

 

Given the potential interest of Lexington and UK folks in PT, the following at LexCath and how well HHS travels (particularly on the day after TGiving), what sort of crowd is expected? Also, anyone know if HHS will be selling tix on MON and TUE (since no school on WED)?

 

Thanks in advance.

Lexington Catholic and HHS played in 2007 and 2008 during the regular season with HHS winning 32-9 and 41-0

What time does parking lot open? Took the whole week off to get ready for this! Just want to make sure I get a good parking spot.

I think closer than most expect.......Highlands 42 Lex Cath 38
