Why not? The enrollment is about the same. 2 year avg per KHSAA

Bell Co. 800
Highlands = 787

Pretty darn close.

What i think he is referring to is that Highlands has the players just show up. Around here you have to get the kids to stick with it and keep at it just to keep them playing.
Back in the 90's, football around the Bell/Whitley area was life. There was no problem going to either one of these or Rock who was all in the same district and having all five lineman be 6'4 and 300 pounds. Now, kids of that size just go to school. It seems bigger kids are not interested in it anymore.
I could easily go down the hall ways of Whitley and pick out 10 to 15 kids that, if they came to practice and lifted, would start over the ones we have starting. It's been that way for a while now, i dont know what happened.
