Who Do You Think Will Win 5A?

[The Iceboxx]

Highlands....!!!!!!!!

outside shots-Bowling Green, John Hardin

Big Stretches-Bryan Station, LCC, Warren East

but hey somebody has to come out of the East, and be in the title game

[EKUAlum05]

Highlands...

the only schools with a legitimate chance against them are John hardin, CovCath, and BG

[The Iceboxx]

Highlands is the definition of Program, and i forgot that they actually are on the Eastern side of the playoff Bracket, so there goes that shot

[BlackcatAlum]

Highlands is the favorite but everyone is forgetting that Covington Catholic didn't lost any players off of last years team, and for the Bluebirds to get to state they have to get by CovCath first. But on the western side of the state I believe that it'll be between John Hardin & Bowling Green.

[FBALL]

Highlands.

Given the talent level in the current sophomore class I really think that Highlands is in the midst of a back-to-back-to-back Class 5A title run.

This year the 'Birds will have a great running game, led by RBs Josh Conner and Clint Crawford. The 'Birds should have a better passing game with Tony Guidugli at the helm at QB. If the offensive line comes together (this is the biggest question mark for the team right now) then the 'Birds will be very tough to outscore in 2008. On the other side of the ball, HHS should have a great pass defense in 2008, with a solid defensive backfield and a very deep, athletic linebacking corps. The defensive line, much like the offensive line, will help make the difference between HHS having a good team and HHS having a great team.

At the end of last season, I was really thinking that HHS might have a bit of a drop-off in 2008, with CovCath potentially being the better team in the district. But the more I hear and read about this current group of players the more I see the potential that 2008's squad may be better than 2007's championship team. It will be VERY difficult for the team to repeat their undefeated season, given that they travel to Cincy Colerain in week two.

I agree with your assesment, however, I also think that a big question mark is in the kicking game. Replacing Bathiany will be tough and field position was a huge advantage in the '07 season for Highlands, thanks to Bathiany (grad.) The O-line is young but feel that Coach Turner will have them ready. Also, the sophmore class has been untried on a varsity field. I feel they are a great group and will see many stepping up to the plate, but I believe when you said sophmore you ment the now Jr. group which consist of Collinsworth, Roller, Bardo, Hoge, Fennell, Buten, Bankemper, Schlosser, Grubbs, Combs, Dierig, Alford, Waldenmeyer, Beck, Eitenne, Brown and a host of others.

Highlands

Bryan Station?

[BlackcatAlum]

Bryan Station?

Bryan Station's only problem is keeping their players eligible each and every week. I heard Woodford County fans talking about it last year at the Johnson Central game, B/S is a very athletic school and I'm sure that their team has some very good players playing for them and they may be able to compete for a district championship, but I don't expect Station to be able to compete with the likes of Highlands or Covington Catholic.

BLUEBIRDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are correct, and thanks for correcting my mistake! I was referring to LAST year's sophomore class as being very talented. You did a great job in naming some of that CURRENT junior class talent.

[The Iceboxx]

Bryan Station had a decent year with a couple of loses to larger schools.
they return their best running back and QB, along with almost every starter of defense.

The playoff alignment also favors them, playing the opposite district allows them to play the eastern kentucky

[Call Me The Breeze]

They still have to play johnson central and woodford county to make out of district

[tradition]

I'm anxious to see how John Harden progresses thru the season. From what I am hearing, they are going to be someone to contend with.

[2009 JCHS Eagles]

I gotta say Highlands... :mad:
