Highland High School Football Team Hitting the Pause Button!

Hello, Highland! The buzz around town today is all about the Highland High School football team, who have decided to take a significant break from their varsity football activities. Yep, you read that right! The decision comes right on the heels of head coach Cory Quail stepping down from his position earlier this week, leaving the team in need of a breather.

A Tough Start to the Season

If you’ve been following the team, you know that it hasn’t been the smoothest of rides this season. The Huskies, our spirited team, kicked off their journey with high hopes but unfortunately found themselves on the losing side in both their opening games. The first game saw them face off against Martensdale-St. Marys at home, ending in a disappointing 13-0 loss. In their second game against Wapello, they struggled even further, finishing with a staggering 40-7 defeat. Ouch!

All in all, that makes for a less-than-pleasant combined score of 53-7 across the two games. It’s safe to say this wasn’t the start they were hoping for, and fans are understandably anxious about what lies ahead.
