Has the overall attendance for both days been announced?

After the talk Rocco Pangallo gave to upcoming classes last night at the State Celebration I'm sure they're fired up and already working their tails off today.

Saw this quote from someone today on the Enquirer page and thought it pretty much summed up my thoughts on this 2014 group of Birds. "I've seen quite a few Highlands championships, lop-sided victories & more talented line-ups but I'll always remember this teams grit. Well done, Bluebirds!"

I would encourage teams to rent their own port-o-lets for pre game next year. Heard some stories about kids holding it in until halftime when the locker rooms finally cleared.

Solid Work Birds!!!!! If only I were as calm as the kids were coming out after half time.

Congrats to the Explorers! Tough, disciplined team! Thanks for the updates.

Same problem here with a super fast connection.

HAHA! Love that hat I bought from Krogers! #winforthem #crownforcowboy

Hoge, Highlands out to reclaim Class 4A title http://www.wcpo.com/sports/high-school-sports/high-school-football/beau-hoge-highlands-out-to-reclaim-class-4a-title-against-owensboro WCPO Prediction.

Where's Marvin with the challenge flag when you need him?

Agreed!

Well as good as Harris might be and even more popular you can't give any award to a player only playing half of his teams games.

How many games did Harris play? I know I tuned in to watch him earlier in the year on ESPN and he did not play, did he ever make it back after that game?

Where will Owensboro land next year after the realignment?

Quote from the Cincy Enquirer. Highlands tops LexCath to reach 4A state final "It's great to be going back," said Highlands running back Griffin Urlage, who rushed for a career-high 182 yards on 16 carries with three touchdowns Friday. "Thank you, O-line. That's all I have to say about that."

That's an understatement! All I heard all off season and early on is that the Birds graduated all of their good offensive lineman and that unit will really struggle this year, heck I overheard 2 random guys talking about it at Lowes back in August. Props to those young men!

Pretty sure they had the means to do that if that were the plan. Not trying to distract away from this game at all so maybe another thread could be started after the season.

Wow!!!

I see ya Dixie!!!!!!

Heard a story earlier in the year where Coach Specht from Cincy St. X wanted Beau to transfer over after his 8th grade year at Highlands with the plan for Beau to play QB his Soph - Senior year for the Bombers. Beau said nah, I want to play and win with the guys I grew up with. I tip my cap to his decision!

Still curious why the Birds decided to squib kick it everytime, is the return guy for Lex Cath that lethal?

Yes we will, it's shame we only got to see him one year behind center, oh well it's just a testament to the QB factory Highlands has become.

The play by QB Reese tonight was unbelievable. How many 4th downs did he convert?
