Do you realize how small of a school Highlands is? It is amazing how they can compete with the big schools in the state. Would they ever beat Trinity annually? The answer is no, but Beatty could not coach at Highlands and beat Trinity annually either. Trinity just has too big of numbers and large area of talent pool for other teams to beat on an annual basis. What other 3A school in KY has the balls to play Trinity, whether it be a regular season game or a preseason game? ( That's right, do not forget that HHS is a 3A school that was playing up in 5A until last year when the KY athletic association moved them down to 4A!).

Do you realize Highlands can take kids from all over? Do you realize your school's enrollment has remained constant for 15 or more years? HHS buildings grow and yet the HS enrollment stays constant, give or take 50 students. HHS has always stayed beneath the top tier in enrollment dating back to 1975, the first season schools outside Jefferson County were placed into 4A. This control over enrollment has also contributed greatly to their annual state wide test scores. That is a topic for discussion elsewhere. I also firmly believe when a home comes up for sale in Ft. Thomas, there is premium placed on what the demographics are of the family taking possession.
