badrouter Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Early guess, but this is not what I expected the game to look like. Maybe they're flat, cold or something else. Maybe they'll win 56-3 and I'll look stupid. But, I think Highland has a shot here. Bad news for Florida if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Won't be 56-3. It's now 18-7 Highland. CM flat as a pancake, and Highland is far more efficient offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badrouter Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 It appears as if YouTubeTv has just cut ESPN programming right in the middle of the game. I cancelled YouTubeTv and will not be able to watch the rest of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCGIII Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Love the fact that Arizona is an open enrollment state. If Georgia were to take the same tack, the Atlanta area and certain South and middle Georgia programs would be able to build monster programs with the talent and depth to play with anyone anywhere. And Cartman, along with the rest of the private school haters wouldn't have anyplace to hide. Or excuses for the gym class teachers masquerading as football coaches.

Is that right? The two losses were to teams with a combined 14 state titles since 2003 that spent most of 2021 as national top 25 teams. There might be 50 teams nationally that would fare better than Highland did in that region, and that's being generous. Highland is an example of what Arizona high school football would look like without open enrollment; a massive enrollment in an affluent area but not loaded up with the raw talent that your destination schools like Chandler, Hamilton, Saguaro, and even Liberty possess. Definitely have plenty of kids that can play, but that's more because mom and dad have the means to get those guys in every youth league available and set them up with individual coaching than it is due to unadulterated physical gifts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the 4th AZ team against the 4th FL team. Highland performed admirably. Arizona is a very underrated state in terms of national publicity. I would say AZ is in that next tier under the top 5 (TX, CA, FL,GA and OH) Arizona is no doubt above states who get much more press like New Jersey, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Alabama, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Highland offered something sorely lacking in Florida: crisp execution of more elaborate plays. Simplicity rules the day with Florida teams. Sure, when they're loaded physically, they're still tough to beat. But, they often underperform because the kids haven't been coached to do much of anything elaborate or deceptive. Jesuit, STA and a few others are exceptions to this. Sometimes Lakeland is come the playoffs, but sometimes not. It's pretty sad, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
