Congrats to PC. Definitely the better team. Really impressed with a lot of their players, but particularly numbers 16, 2, 7 and 44. Ball players.

Highlands got to where I expected them to get. I saw good effort out of the Birds. Which is all an adult can (should) ask of kids playing a game.

As a fan of Coach Hines, I hope PC takes the title. My younger son played on the Highlands 09 team that beat PC in the semis that year. Saw Coach Hines the following week at the state games. While the sting of the loss the prior week had to still be very fresh, he was amazing gracious and complimentary of my son (and his teammates, especially Highlands O line). He didn't need to do that, but did. Made a great impression on me.

So, GO MAROONS. TAKE STATE.
