Maybe because they're half the size of Trinity? Do you honestly think that anyone on here thinks Highlands could stand up to Trinity's schedule? Trinity set this schedule up to go for a mythical national title, and they're likely to do it in impressive fashion. Highlands isn't on the Trinity level, and none of the Highlands fans I know have made that claim this year, so what's your point?:please:

Actually, your math is a little off. Highlands boys population is in the low 400's whereas Trintiy and St. X are in the 1400 range. That's at least a 3-1 advantage. Sometimes people forget that Highlands is barely even a 4A school (being the first school -- population wise -- out of 3A) and that it is also just a public school. Not close to having the advantages of St. X or T. But it seems to do okay. :1:

Back to the schedule, no one can rationally look at Highlands recent schedules and criticize its out of conference games. It tries to play the toughest competition in N.Ky. (usually adding one or two of the 6A teams) and usually adds at least one GCL or Ohio power team each year. It has also often travelled to play Louisville schools like Male, Manual, Central, St. X and Trinity (albeit in a scrimmage) and other Kentucky powers. It also chose to play up in class the last few years when the KHSAA allowed it. So are people hating on Highlands just for the sake of hating or do they have some type of other agenda? It can't play everyone in an 80 game schedule each year just to avoid message board criticism.
