No problem. It's unfortunately a relatively common misunderstanding. There are two kids in the last 20 years that were from Cinti that transferred to Highlands that I can recall. Jeff Ruby's kid came as a frosh and left after his sophomore year and transferred to Moeller. Another frosh the same year ( a friend of Ruby's) came and stayed but wasn't an impact player.

As another poster mentioned, the Ft. Thomas Junior Football League does not play games against Cincy teams (or N. Ky teams either for that matter). It truly is an intercity league that only competes against other teams within the City. There is no traveling team either. The rosters are split up to try and evenly divide the talent amongst the teams. The philosophy of the league is to get a lot of kids playing time (minimum participation rule) while trying to develop a lot of different kids at each position. It's worked pretty well. This year the league celebrates its 50th year anniversary.

Russell is back to running the Russell JFL in this same format. After decades of doing it this way they went to travel teams for the past few years but we are now back to the intra league format to develop as many players as possible. An approach that I think works much better and has proven itself for those that use it.
