Very well written and I should know, I sleep with an English teacher! As for the game, I have no clue. Even in years when one team or the other is favored by a bunch, you can't count on anything. From what I have seen so far this year, they are pretty close to dead even. I am looking for it to come down to the last possession.

Even though the Raiders have played a much more challenging non-district schedule than some teams, (their opponents are 12-11) they just don't have the horses. SK by as many as they like.

Highlands has more than Kenton Co, not to mention Bellevue, Dayton and NCC.

There, I fixed it.

To a point, but when you have TRUE, long lived history, it really doesn't matter how far back you go. If you have limited quality history, you have to cut it short so as not to highlight failure.

Sure, we can also assume that CC is not as awful as SOME seem to think.

What these teams HAVE done so far this year, IS also history. Apparently, we can only go back in time as far as you see an advantage for your side of the argument.

Well said, SK's opponents are 4-16. (soon to be 4-17) The one team with a winning record that they have played, Cooper, has a similar "cupcake" schedule. Their opponents are a whopping 2-11. SK's schedule to date ->

SK = 1-25 vs the "little 4A stuff" For a long time SK and HHS were in the same district, how did that work out for you?

You can't forget those 22-0 frosh victories!

If you believe that, you've never been to a Thanksgiving dinner in Fort Thomas when the fathers, brothers, cousins and in some cases grandfathers are learn'in "today's kids" history. I guess history doesn't matter if you don't have any.

RIVAL? Hardly:laugh: In a rivalry, BOTH teams have a chance to win from year to year. Obviously, this has not been the case with SK having won only ONE game in 26 tries against the Birds. In fact, there are TWELVE teams in northern KY with higher winning percentages against Highlands than SK.

and lots of blue Kool-Aid

Close, but they are on the CHECKERS team, Highlands kids aren't bright enough to be able to play chess.

Making them an impressive 2-25 against the birds.

Total Championships since 1959 = 55 Highlands participation = 27 (49.1%) Highlands Championships = 22 (40.0%)

EXACTLY!

According to you, Cooper is awful (another cupcake for SK) therefore, we won't find out anything about your untested Pioneers.

Highlands is the winningest program in KY and 2nd winningest in the country. Since the playoff system was implimented in 1959, the Birds have played in just over 50% of the championship games and have won over a third of the championships. I think they will do OK.

I know, they have played them 26 times over the years. How has that worked out for you? I guess you've heard the blind squirrel story.

Maybe you are not as knowledgable as I thought. Like I said, until they play head to head or SK plays a quality opponent or two, we won't be able to make that determination.

Since the guy that wrote the article is from Fort Thomas, I am sure he made up the stats just to screw with YOUR brain.
