T O U G H loss

It was just brought to my attention that I have neglected to add football scores from Justin's games. I think I'm so focused on getting the link on for anyone who might want to watch him play, I forget to go back and update.

Saturday night's game was a tough one. Highland lost 3-7 in a battle well fought. It was much more disciplined football and overall looked like a much cleaner game.

Towards the end of the game, the Highland QB took the ball in for a TD which would have put them in the lead with a 9-7 advantage.

Unfortunately, the ref called the TD off saying there was an inadvertent whistle. The lost another chance to score with a fumble shortly after at the one or two-yard line.

Tough break.

Most disappointing, this loss now has Highland out of the play-offs.

With so much improvement this season, they've got a lot to look forward to in their last few games and more importantly- next season.

Next week, Garden City is headed to Highland for a home game. The talk around the league is about the Garden City QB- a talented player recruited by Georgia (nationally-ranked D1 team) straight out of high school last year.

Bad choices on his part led to him being dropped from Georgia and signing at Garden City. Justin's definitely in a league of high-caliber players. Not all can make grades, but they can play some football.

It's exciting thinking of where he will end up in two years. He's working so hard.
