Big Merz was offered by Louisville today! Visits Kentucky this Sat.

Max is a really hard Worker and even a better young Man. Can’t wait to see where he ends up. Let’s just enjoy Big Merz at Highlands while we can.

Yes very odd….Maybe he is stepping away for more Family time. None the less I am sure Coach Borchers is very grateful for his time he has devoted to the Cooper program. Good Luck to him!

Full Ride….And I was told last Night by his Father that they told him to be prepared to play as a True Freshman. That would be awesome. Congratulations Brody!

Cooper left 6 points on the Board from earlier with 2 4th down attempts when both Possessions could of ended in 3 points. They have a very good kicker. Found that out last week. I know it’s raining but being down 14 next to 8 with a chance to Tie is a huge difference.

Fla State/Lou tied at 3

7:30 Start

At halftime Highlands had 426 yards of Offense to Dixie’s 6. It was once again the Benke/Geisler show.

Would be #24….Still a lot of Football still to be played. Go Birds!

All the Freshman have dressed up for the last 3 Varsity games. With the 80 man roster limit for the Playoffs, only a handful will Dress moving forward.

#5 John Feldbruegge celebrates 1st quarter TD with Chase Jacob last Night in Park Hills.

Highlands locked their spot in the Title game with the Win over Cooper last Night. That game tonight between CCH vs DHS just determines if CCH hosts the Championship or goes to a Coin flip for a 3 way Tie for 2nd. If Dixie were to Win tonight, Highlands is the 1 seed and Host next week. With a CCH win tonight 1. CCH(Host) vs 2. HHS 3. Beechwood(Host) vs 4. Ryle With a Dixie win tonight 1. HHS(Host) vs 2 A. Beechwood 2 B. CCH 2 C. Ryle Coin flip to determine who gets the 2 seed

Thursday Highlands @ Conner. 6 p.m.

Final from JV action in Ft Thomas. Highlands 47 Simon Kenton 8

Multiple people told you In correct Info! Rio will be plenty ready even by not playing JV. No player in our program picks and chooses when and where they play. If we feel a player needs extra development by playing they will dress JV. Otherwise we have bigger goals. The Team is planning to play 9 more weeks and need everyone Healthy no matter the sacrifices made that just don't make sense to everyone else….

It doesn’t look like we can hide him anymore. Its getting ready to explode for this young man.

This game was played in Ft Thomas led by Two very talented Freshman QB’s.

Sounds like it was a great day to be a Bluebird! Congrats….

All Highlands Freshmen home games are now set to start @ 6:30. We made the change yesterday. Also Highlands has added a game @ Elder September 7th. Game is scheduled for 6:00

Very excited for the Cru community! It will be slow start but great things will come from starting their own Football program. Good Luck to them...

Cam is doing great. He has had probably the best Two weeks of practice going into his Senior season. It's a challenge telling kids during their Summer break to be at practice every morning at 7 am so when Kids show discipline on getting there, that's half the battle. Cam has leaned up and gained incredible strength during the off season. We look for Cam to have a very good season....

Today at 3 Highlands puts the pads on for Spring practice. Today and Thursday will be Light Contact Instructional where Friday Period 1 will be Oklahoma Drill. Gates are always open if you want to catch a sneak peek of what 2023 will look like in Ft Thomas. Go Birds!

Tuesday April 11th at 3:00 pm. Spring game is tentatively scheduled for Friday April 28th at 5:30 pm.

It is truly a special place. I will see what Highlands Bye week is this year and see if Dayton has a Home game that Night. I want to catch One more game there before the Crap starts flowing.....LOL!
