It has been HHS versus the field over the last five years. I have taken them over the field over the last 5 years. This year, I am taking the field. More unknowns this coming season than in the previous five.

I'm not so sure about the more unknowns this coming season. O will be totally stacked and packed. As much as this may sound strange, Birds won't skip a beat on O even after losing Patrick and Ozzie. O line will be outstanding. RBs will be outstanding. WRs will be outstanding. And I'm extremely confident that McCoy will do an outstanding job taking over the QB spot. If folks saw his performance at Elder last year, they should feel the same way. Kid is a player and leader.

Defensively, there may be a couple of question marks but honestly I can't say there are any more than there were heading into last year. And it's not a matter of talent not being there. Talent out the ying yang. Just need some playing time.

Not going to predict the Birds will win No. 6 because I don't know what every other school brings back. But I do know that it will take an exceptionally strong team to beat the Birds. And I bolded the word team because it's going to take a very talented complete team to beat Highlands. A couple or even several talented players won't get it done.
