If he needs to play due to lack of backup supply, can we agree that there shouldn't be any designed QB runs or pass plays where he would scramble up the field. Play calls should be then, take the snap and hand ball off and then avoid any chaos. If he needs to do pass plays make them quick slants or receiver screens. If nothing is open then hit the mascot. Good compromise??

With this game at Campbell County I doubt the HHS Film YouTube broadcast would take there show on the road, so I would assume the Campbell County HUDL link will be the only show in town in Claryville.

OK, can we play a "If you were coach this Friday what would you do with Bryce if we get to a running clock scenario?” Last week the Birds got to a running clock in the 2nd Quarter and Armstrong stayed in the rest of the game getting his snaps in and at some times ran the ball, which I think @theguru stated, "what are you all doing having him run the ball in a running clock game' With Boyle County coming to town in a very highly anticipated 4A showdown next week, again "if' we get to a running clock situation, with Boyle on deck, do you shut Armstrong down and thank him for his service on Friday once we get to a running clock, OR b/c he's just a Sophomore do you opt to keep building up his snaps, ignore the score and get as many live competition plays under his belt to have that game time feel for when Boyle comes up next week. Again, totally hypothetical if this scenario occurs with a running clock, which I am saying may or may not happen but if it does, What would you do?

Ha, I was going to say the same thing!!!

The Birds travel to Claryville to face their County folk Kickoff: 7:30pm (new time) Highlands (1-1), last week Beat Cooper 45-6 Last week: Birds took care of business against Cooper making it a running clock halfway thru the 2nd quarter. Armstrong still continues to grow showing so much potential and promise in his young career behind center. I love the mobility that he is showcasing jumping out of the pocket to make things happen. Kremer looked strong and powerful running thru the OLine holes. It was really nice to see Tayden get himself a pick 6!l What to look forward to against Campbell County: Hopefully a whole lot of the same thing we saw against Cooper. I think with Campbell County riding a 2-0 record to start the season, they will be all juiced up to finally be able to make this game a little closer and more competitive than the prior 5 tries when the winning margin has been over 31 points. Campbell County (2-0), last week Beat Southwestern 47-14 Last week: Not a lot out of the thread between the Camels against Southwestern except some scoreboard updates, looked like Campbell County took charge early and didn't let up. Campbell County has to be feeling really good about themselves after 2 weeks of regular season. What to look forward to against the Birds: Coach Honaker has these Camels playing well to start off his tenure at Campbell County, beating Scott & Southwestern. Will he run into a brick wall like the Camels did the last 5 tries against the Birds or will this be a ballgame? Last year Highlands aired it out with Rio Litmer passing for 312 yards with 2 TDs, Bryce Armstrong was able to get his feet wet as a freshman in this game and slung the ball 7 times with 4 completions for 64 yards and a TD, he also ran the ball in for another TD this night. There was a pretty even load of rushers with the collective yards rushed being 183, and 5 TDs. Frank "Nostradamus' Nicodemus prediction: Looking for a fun semi close game until halftime, then the Birds putting their claws into the Camels and flying home with a comfortable victory 48-17.

Thanks for posting this link, I was looking for it earlier today to throw this option out there. PSA: this is for the most part 100% ran by the students, be kind on any criticism from the production. I absolutely love that Highlands has this to offer in their Film & Broadcasting department…… and it's FREE!

I’m really looking forward to a great game for the Birds in this one. I think we will see a nice balanced offensive attack to showcase all of our weapons in front of the home crowd.

The Birds have their Home opener versus their ‘23 & ‘24 5A nemesis Cooper Jaguars Kickoff: 7:00pm Highlands (0-1), Lost to Frederick Douglass 41-20 Last week: Soph QB1 Bryce Armstrong got his first Varsity start of his career and definitely showcased some of his talents. I think the added running threat he gives out of the backfield either on designed runs for him or just out of scrambles on busted pass plays is going to be huge for him this season. The Birds defense definitely showcased a lot of talent with Colt Kremer playing LB and Gabe Williams playing incredibly at Safety. Birds showed me a lot to be excited about this season in 4A for them. The two pieces of the Birds that concerned me was the turnovers and the conditioning issues with players just literally gassed pretty much in the middle of the 3rd quarter to the final horn. Coach Sphire commented in the Pregame show on GLICOD that our main man Tayden Lorenzen probably isn’t at 100% game speed/stamina ready since he was sideline a ton at the beginning of the summer, I believe he had a foot issue (don’t know exact details). Coach Sphire mentioned he didn’t really know how many snaps he would be able to go, especially lining up on both sides of the ball this season. Based on what I saw Tayden worked his butt off as much as he could. Looking for a strong season from him down the stretch. What to look forward to against Cooper: Just continued growth by Bryce under center. He is so much fun to watch play this game! Can the Birds clean up the mistakes with the turnover issues we saw against Freddy D. Can they take care of business versus a team that is probably trying to figure out who they are with so much talent that has left from last year? Going to be an exciting night of Football in the Fort next Friday night. My gut tells me that we are about to see something special come Friday night at David Cecil Memorial Stadium. Cooper (1-0), Beat Christian County 28-21 Last week: After a loooooong bus ride the Jags took care of business versus the newly formed Christian County school to start off their season with a win. The game stayed close pretty much the whole game, Cooper capitalizing on some Onside kick trickery. Didn’t watch the game or seen any stats yet so wondering how the new regime did as a whole. What to look forward to against the Birds: Will this Jags team have some jet lag after such a long trip down and back from Christian County and now have to go into Fort Thomas for their home opener. The Birds will be angry and hungry for their first win of the season after a touch loss versus a great Frederick Douglass team. Last year Highlands rolled past the talented Senior led Cooper Jags of QB1 Cam O’Hara, RB1 Keegan Maher & WR1 Ryker Campbell 28-14. Tayden Lorenzen ran wild rushing for 90 yards and having 3 TDs. Cooper will need to learn quickly with this new talent that they have, along with the new Head Coach Adam Begley. They have been in discussion on still winning their 5A district 5 during this rebuild (Boone, Conner, Dixie & Scott) but the potential of a deep run like they did in 23 & 24 will most likely not happen. Currently not even getting in the Top 10 5A BGP rankings. This game will most likely be streamed and we will post that link when available. I like to see the Birds getting their first win of the season rolling in this one 38-7.
