Say what you may but the bottomline here is last year & this year Highlands was & will be this year overmatched vs Trinity. In the years to come I'm sure Highlands & St x. will close the gap but right now Trinity is the clear top dog of Kentucky. hell even Nationally they are one of the top dogs. Again no disrespect but if it were a real game it would be the same result & that is , Highlands would be over matched.

You were definitely right about last year and I think your thoughts on this year are very defendable. A lot will have to do with what type of O line T has this year. Last year's was outstanding and played a huge role in T's success. Dawkins, Wright and Quick were exceptional last year, but anyone that doesn't attribute a lot of their success to the O line T had last year simply does not know football. If T has anything close to the same caliber of O line again this year, T will be exceptional once again.

As for the gap, I'm sure it will close and open from time to time. In the 2010 scrimmage, it was a one TD gap in T's favor. In 09, while no scrimmage between the schools, Highlands beat a team that had better than a 40 point lead over T by halftime. So there have been years when Highlands was better or right with T in the past and I expect that to happen from time to time in the future. This year? We'll have to see but with the skilled players T has returning on O and the talented players returning on D, I can easily understand your optimism.

As for what would happen in a real game, both coaches did sub to work on depth last year. But only someone with blinders on couldn't quickly determine that the T starters last year were a much better team than Highlands starters were last year.
