COVINGTON –
Fans and outsiders see things like overall program wins and consecutive state
championships.
But the
Highlands Bluebirds football team players and coaches will be the first to say
they look at accomplishing things on a day-to-day or year-to-year basis. This
year’s Bluebirds can now say they have an undisputed Class 4A, District 7
championship after a 57-28 victory over the host Covington Holmes Bulldogs at
Tom Ellis Field on Friday.
“We were looking to play really well in this game,” said Dale Mueller, Highlands Co-Head Coach. “The guys were ready to play and we jumped
on them right from the start.”
The
Bluebirds (8-0 overall, 4-0 district) have won six consecutive district championships
and 16 in the previous 17 seasons. The only year they did not win a title was
2006 when Covington Catholic beat them on a last-second touchdown pass.
