Unless you end up demoralized, or with tons of injuries (like the Wheelersburg game two years ago they never really recovered from).

Playing a tough game or two is nice, but football, especially on the high school level, is a game of confidence, and you need a couple of teams you can annihilate as well to build that confidence. A few blowout losses can be enough to make most high school teams hang up their cleats before the season's actually over (prime example, this year's Covington Catholic).

Injuries are part of the game, they can happen against anybody no matter what class they are in or how good they are. I think it was evident against Highlands that this bunch never give up. They have too much heart and pride, plus they have a coach that won't let em.

Take a look at Louisville Central last year.
