So what you are saying is that one team can't get better, that much in one year?

Scenario. You apply it how you choose.

1977: Harrodsburg beats Boyle County 60-0.
1978 Boyle County beats Harrodsburg 17-0.

Can Boyle improve by 77 points in one season?

Before you ask: Harrodsburg lost Nicky Yeast from the '77 team (Future EKU player) but returned Gus Parks (Likewise future EKU starter).

People improve or new players tip the scales of balance. Who knows. I'd give an edge to HHS but who can see with any real certainty. The logical equation you bring is flawed to be effectively accurate.

Was Harrodsburg as good in 78 as 77?...According to this, the answer is no. Apparently they had two great players in 77 and one in 78. Boyle improved by a bunch, Harrodsburg dropped off by a bunch.

While I agree BG improved a great deal since last year, Highlands did not suffer a corresponding fall. Few teams return a 2X state championship QB along with most of the other skill players. They did need to reload the D a bit along with the O-line.

The Highlands NON-STARTERS get an amazing amount of experience compared to other teams because they have more weeks of practice than most other teams (thanks to long playoff runs) and a high number of minutes in game situations. (thanks to lopsided scores) Excluding the preseason, the incoming seniors, for the 2012 season have already had 45 weeks of in season practice and been involved in some cases a little, some cases a lot, in 45 games. I did a little count, 6 - 8 weeks into the season, and found that the Birds play an average of over 50 players per game.
