That GCL team compared to the ones that Gino and Jared faced is like comparing Cov Cath now to Cov Cath in the late 90's. Those Elder teams that beat Highlands in 99 and 2000 are considered the best Elder teams ever including the two state chamionship teams from Elder. Had a kid playing safety that knocked out Brent Grover two years in a row. Brent Grover was not a small guy. Jared lost to a Moeller team who lost to the National Champion Cleveland St. Ignarius team and to say that Towels beat that Cincinnati St. X team is false as he wasn't asked to do anything but not lose the game in the second half. The Highlands defense won that game that was really not as close as the final score. I was there too. I don't miss many big games in our area.

Bardo was player of the game and played until the 4th quarter. If Bardo didn't get hurt Highlands was on the verge of scoring again. The game wasn't won by Bardo or the defense it was a total team effort. I wonder what Bardo's stats would have been if he had 2 and a half years playing QB?
