football analysis

Highlands has maybe like 6 players that stood out to me and can tackle, I have even seen these guys miss tackles, when I went to the Ryle vs highlands game I noticed that number 18, 30, 23, 26, 69, 79 are players that like to tackle but like I said I have seen those guys miss tackles so highlands Is missing a for sure tackler on that team. Its a big problem. 

Im hearing that Harris is out this Friday. The starting backers are Robinson, Lafrange, Surrey, Hodge. Along with Welsh and Higgason. Wide outs are Welsh, Lloyed, Hinegrader. Along with Deburger, Hendrix, I assume others, going off a source I heard. Sphire must feel comfortable with there depth and athletes he has.

With Harris and Benke out, who will play wide outs DeBurger and Hendrix? or Hinegardner? also how will the linebackers look like? will they move Robinson inside and roll with Surrey and Hodge outside or keep Robinson and move Welsh inside? going to be interesting I like all these guys.

McNicholas has not played a team that has won a game, the three teams they have played combine for a record of 0-8.

Think this will be a good game, Highlands has a lot more depth and speed, they have a large rotation at wide receiver and their linebackers. I say Birds move to 4-0.

They look ready to go!

Highlands (2-0) host Campbell County (1-1) Friday, September 3rd in Fort Thomas. 

Will the Birds stay hot? or will the camels come into the fort and upset Sphire's Birds.

I will have to rock with the birds for this one, they are definitely riding high as of now and are looking to keep building off of that big win against the Purples. SK does not look good as of right now and seem to be lousy protecting the football, Highlands caused 3 turnovers last week and have multiple ball hawks on their D. Hopefully noon is back and playing, and if that is the case Birds cruise pass the Pioneers. I don't see Crone picking apart this Highlands D not throwing shade towards Crones way but Highlands looked fast on Saturday and they sure do play fast! that linebacker core is deep and scary and the D-line is tough upfront. Sk has weak corners and I see noon (if he plays) and Jake welch having a fun night Friday. 

Highlands- 45

Simon Kenton- 12

I think this hire is great! when it comes to a potential starting lineup for the birds i for sure think It will be Noon at QB. Hosea and Ricter at RB. The o-line should not be a problem as they have Bowman, Bibb, And senior Kaleb Kissee. Im sure they have others to help the line out. Wideouts look good for the Birds. On the other side of the ball Hartmen will for sure be the leader of that D along with Sam Robinson. I like Adam Dunn too a lot at the secondary position. Lets not forget about those players on Jv last year though. Kids like Noah Hodge he can play saftey and linebacker, pretty sure he is the kid who got the 2 interceptions one being a pick 6 in that JV game last year against Cov Cath. Trevaughn Woods on the D-line and Carson Schalback. I think the Birds depth looks great for this new coach.  

Oh man oh man oh man.....Park Hills you ready?

Highlands with a running clock.

Ken Shields

Ehhhh I don't see that. Also think that would be a bad move by Highlands.

What If BW stays and gets a new staff maybe? thoughts on that?

I am going with Chris Wolfe. 

He is from Highlands. I could see that.

Highlands past couple of years have not been up to par. The rumor is that there will be a new head coach. If so who do you think it will be? and why?

I really don't know why Highlands scheduled Moeller but I guess its whatever. This one will get ugly real quick. I say Moeller wins with a running clock in the second quarter.

This is going to be a great game. Highlands looks like they got their stuff figured out. Cov Cath also looks like they got things figured out. This will be Just a flat out street fight. Highlands does not have the best of quality wins but this will be the game to see if Highlands is legit. Cov Cath has a lot to prove. They still have to prove if they are the best team in Kentucky. At the end of the day tho. I say Cov Cath by 3 Points due to experience due to Tre Gronette and Coaching. I will think Highlands will end up Getting out-Coached. Not out played.

That stinks. Why are they out? COVID related? 

Jake Aruther has a arm fracture and Trevor Harms has a ankle injury.

Harms is listed as Game time decision.

Arthur is listed as Out.

I have heard that Highlands will be without there left tackle Jake Arthur and Center Trevor Harms. Big lose for the birds. O-line has got to step up.

So you expect a Highlands state championship in 2022, regardless of who the coach is?

Yes I believe this too Highlands looks really good in these upcoming years they got Noon, Hosea, Kelsay, Robinson, Giesler, Hodge, And Highlands sophomores wide outs are really talented and fast. I watch the Bluebirds every Friday and even their freshman games for the past 7 years. Highlands HAS studs coming in really soon. I do think a new coach would be a lot better tho. 

I say Connor 24-13 

Highlands will play hard so will the Cougars but I Just don't see the bluebirds offense playing good this game Connor has a great defense and it will be hard for the sophomore QB to move the ball plus they can't pass at all the wide outs are weak they don't block or catch anything. Connor really Just has to stop the run and they are good. 

Connor I think will win because of their defense. I think the offense will play ok but not great. Highlands has a pretty good D and Connor hasn't really played anyone special but at the end of the day I think the Cougars will be 3-0.

Highlands football for the past 5 years is in the gutter. The coaching has not been the same and they have been bringing in pretty good talent. Its been awhile since we have seen Highlands at its best. I have heard multiple rumors that Weinrich and his staff will be gone in January hopefully that is true because to be honest what I saw on Friday night was absolutely disgusting. Multiple bad play callings and all around really bad game. If highlands continues to role with this staff. Highlands is done for. Ruining great talent. Ruining great opportunities. Ruining Highlands football. 

Boyle will control this game the whole game. Highlands is weak and under sized. they aren't a very disciplined team. Don't see them winning this game at all. Offense can't throw. Boyle needs to do is stop the outside run and its over. Defensively Highlands will get beat up front. The front six also isn't very strong for Highlands either.
