The
Highlands Bluebirds defense wanted to contain Lexington Catholic wide receiver
David Bouvier in Friday’s state semifinal contest.
The
Bluebirds accomplished the feat in the 61-28 victory. Bouvier had just three
catches for 41 yards. His longest catch went for 18 yards.
“They (Highlands defenders) just hung in there all
game long and kept playing (hard),”
said Dale Mueller, Highlands Co-Head Coach. “I felt like we played great. We had a lot of diversity.”
Bouvier
came into the game with 83 catches for 1,240 yards and six touchdowns. Bouvier
had eight catches for 130 yards in LexCath’s 27-16 semifinal win over Boyle
County.
