JC had just as many good athletes in 09 and for sure had size advantage over Highlands.

Agreed, although I thought the 10 JC team was better than the 09 team. Dillon, Bratton and Hall, just to name three recent JC players were outstanding athletes with very nice size. They would have started and starred on any Highlands team I can remember. Some of their huge offensive linemen, with a little conditioning to remove some of the "bulk" and agility drills to improve footwork, would have been outstanding linemen at Highlands. Mueller would have used those quality athletes very differently than Matney did however. How would you liked to have Dillon and Hall as WRs, with Bratton at the TE spot? That would be three very big, talented and fast receivers. Give me an O line that has the ability to pass block, a QB with a decent arm to get the receivers the ball (haven't I read in the past that Sanor had a good arm?) operating out of the gun, and Jude as my RB, and I have an offense that is going to give every D in the state problems.

But hey, if Matney wants to stick to his O, I'm all for it. It's something different that what we've seen a lot of in the past and each year Highlands has gotten better at figuring out how to defend the JC O. I feel pretty confident about future matchups against JC if Matney sticks with that O.

Not intending to be offensive towards the JC program or Matney, just being honest about what I see.
