Charlie22 is right in a lot of what he stated. It was funny what one Collins fan told me over the weekend; He stated he was shocked to find Highlands had for the most part average size and speed. He was expecting huge kids with outstanding speed everywhere. He said he was amazed at the level of discipline and football smarts. He said they ran O and D like a well oiled machine. He hit the nail on the head,contrary to what people think, we do not get a ton of D-1 players all over the field. I have seen many teams with bigger, better athletes than Highlands only to be run over. Yes Highlands has the nice advantage of numbers over a lot of teams, but I do not think it is great athletes (a lot of average to above average athletes that work very hard to maximise their talent) that allows them to stay dominate. It is dedication to the sport, great coaching and tradition(Ft Thomas kids grow up talking about winning a state title, and I think very few schools have that). Other schools could win State Titles, but it takes good coaching staff and students that want to put in the extra effort.

Uh, I thought I was right in everything that I said. :thatsfunn
