I watched the tape delay and watched this video andI saw nothing suggesting there was any type of conspiracy... I am sure there have also been numerous times that people have visited Highlands and had calls go against what they perceived as well. The entire world is not out to get Highlands. If they were then the Bluebirds wouldn't have won a state title a few years ago despite forfeiting every game nearly up to that point.

With all due respect to Brutscher and Thompson, but did they really deserve to be on this list over: - Justin Green, Male - Charlie Banks, Letcher Central - Chase Richardson, Johnson Central - Monte Merrick, Bell County - Ivan Lee, Belfry - Jordan Aumiller, Boyle County - Mister Cobble, Lou. Central - Ridge Wilson, Lou. Central - Shenard Holton, Warren East Brutscher has a nice stat line: 70/110, 1000 yards, 9 TD, 2 INT... 46 carries, 206 yards, 4 TD... but is this really Mr. Football worthy? Especially when his teammate seems to be the favorite for the award? Thompson has 31 TD's, but his team was bounced in the 2nd Round and finished with a 9-3 record.

Or better yet... how about the KHSAA step in and end this mockery and we play it on a neutral field.... like Pikeville

Steele has to be pushing 30 years old right now...

Not to be mean, but they were an onside kick away from causing all sorts of trouble for your #1 ranked Alabam team.

Thinking of one of the four remaining teams but they are not named Central or Union County, who has rushed for over 4000 yards, rarely turns the ball over, is very well coached and disciplined, and has some unfinished business left at the Pizza Pit...

I think I know of one pair of officials who should not be calling the State Finals with their narrower goalposts.

Epic fail by the officiating crew.

Interesting....:sssh:

...and the Russell fans take one more shot to the stomach before November ends...

Man I love reading Highlands threads this time of the year... Always good for a few laughs at what the oposing teams say. IMO, 2nd verse..same as he first. Whitley is a slower but stronger Johnson Central. Highlands 35 Whitley 14 Close for a half then the floodgates open.

How did that work for Fugate last year again? Belfry is unlike any defense he has seen all year, if Breathitt can't stablish a passing game it will be a tough night for Fugate.

This is a bold statement, but: If Breathitt cannot establish a passing game then Belfry will hold Fugate in check (under 100 yards) and win this one going away by 3+ TD's..... With that being said though, if Breathitt can establish a passing game attacking multiple lvels of Belfry's defense then this could be a very, very interesting game. Belfry will be without a doubt the best defensive team Breathitt has faced. Breathitt has the potential to be the best offensive team Belfry has faced,

My thoughts too.. Belfry may actually be a better running team than JC and more capable of a pass rush on defense. Highlands would still torch Belfry's DB's, but the Pirates might make those passes a little less accurate with Coleman and Hall chasing after the QB. Ahh...well..... maybe one day the powers that be can make it work.

Congrats to the Bobcats! Belfry welcomes you all once again.

ALL of them... as in Highlands and JC fans. So what are you hoping for.. a tie? A snow out? :lol:

Is JC still number 1 even after playing Belfry? The Pirates held the Eagles to 198 rushing yards and outrushed them 232-198 that game... figured that would have knocked the Eagles ranking down some. I guess what they did to CovCath counterbalanced that.

Plays with more heart than any QB I have seen in a long time. Doesn't have the best physical tools, but does more with what he's got than most. Runs well, throws well, controls the game, and makes plays under pressure. He is the high school equivolant of Dan Lefevour at Central Michigan. The best way to illustrate how hard this kid plays is last week. In a close game he was the Cougars star on defense getting in on a numerous tackles, and leading them to a score on offense. Banks is also their place kicker. Well halfway through the game Banks suffers a concussion and has to leave the game with his team leading on the road. Mercer comes back and takes the lead with under a minute left. With under 10 seconds to go LCC is in field goal range so Banks comes back into the game, concussion and all, and kicks the game winning field goal.

From what I have seen...very well. He is well over 1000 yards rushing and over 1500 yards passing.

UK commit David Simms, a RB from South Carolina, ahs changed his committment to Georgia Tech this week. GT apparently offered him the opportunity to play QB. Not only do the Cats sorely need a commit at RB, but this really would give Deuce a clear shot at playing time down the road.

UK committt Morgan Newton plays for Carmel.

I am pulling for my EKY Brethren from JC but in the end 35-20 Highlands.

:lol: I didn't know Bluebirds were cannibalistic?

HAHA Anyone who has ever muttered something negative about Highlands on here has not only contributed to the disrespect card, but then found out how Highlands fans deal with it.

Just can't see where these high scoring predictions are coming from: IMO, experience, home field advantage, and even more experience ends up ebing he difference Breathitt 20 Estill 14
