22 state titles

Highlands since 2007
87 wins and 3 losses (2 losses to Ohio schools and 1 to a Kentucky school)
6 consecutive state titles (4 in 5A playing up a class over enrollment and 2 in 4A as one the schools with the smallest enrollment in this class)

I guess you can provide the Belfry numbers that show equivalency. Do not get me wrong, Belfry has a strong tradition in football and good teams but maybe you are overstating things a bit...

Highlands success is due to more than coaching and includes strong community support, an extremely strong grade school football program, and a tradition that drives young men in the community to want to follow in their father's and grandfather's footsteps and win a state title. (No, it is not recruiting from Ohio or Krypton or anywhere else.)
