I was quite impressed with the Highlands team. Definitely deserving of another State Championship. I look forward to seeing Towles as a Kentucky Wildcat as he is a special talent. If he doesn't make a big splash in Lexington I will be surprised.

Every player on the field for Highlands goes 100% every play. That is a result of intense competition for playing time. When you dress 100 or 120 or whatever there is a lot of competition.

I was proud of our Wildcats. They came to the stadium not with the intent to beat the point spread but to win the game. They stuck to the game plan and never got frustrated, they just kept playing hard. Had we gotten the TD, which I think we did, to tie the game a 14...who knows. I think Highlands wins mainly for two reasons. One, Patrick Towles. Nuff said. Two, most of FS's players go both ways. Fourth quarter was going to be tough for FS due to this.

It was a good game and the score is not a good indicator of just how competitive a game it was.
