[BoyleCounty]

People that have not seen HHS always think they are real big, but they are usually very over matched in size; They beat bigger teams by being quicker and very well coached (gang tackle, always in the right spot). Their defense over last 10 years is more of a bend but do not break; they tend to give up yardage but will shut teams down in the red zone. Highlands usually has easier time playing against a big D line rather than a smaller fast D line.

That is what I like about Highlands is the fact that they are always undersized against competition but do more than hold their own, like Boyle County. The Rebels have to have one of the smaller O-Lines in 4A but they have heart.

About the bend don't break and be in the right spot, that comment is true. The Rebels ran for over 200 yards in the first half against Highlands a couple of years ago but the Bluebirds forced a couple of turnovers and turned the game around in their favor and that is being in the right spot. Respect for the Bluebirds.
