September 24, 1999
Highlands enters this game coming off a 35-14 loss to Cincinnati Elder
which snapped their 18 game winning streak. They are led by QB Gino
Guidugli, who has completed 46 for 93 passes and 8 touchdowns with
186.7 passing yards per game. Dunbar is led by the dynamic passing
combination of Chip Franklin to Leon Mack. Chip has
completed 55 of 105 passes and 12 touchdowns with 256.2 passing yards per
game. Mack has caught 14 passes for 611 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Dunbar is led on defense by LB Jacob Koch, who recorded 20 tackles
against Marshall County last week.
Highlands came out extremely fired up and executed flawlessly both offensively
and defensively in the first half to lead 52-14 at halftime. Highlands
pulled their starters after the first half and cruised to a 59-20 victory.
Gino
Guidugli was 7 for 7 in the passing department with 244 yards and three
touchdown passes. Brenden Zenni also ran for four touchdowns
for the Bluebirds. Brett Hamblen's heroics set the table for three
Highland touchdowns. He ran 48 yards on a reverse, intercepted a
pass, and returned a fumble 40 yards to set up scores.
Highlands unleashed a ferocious defense which sacked Chip Franklin
six times and pressured him all night. This enabled Highlands to
completely neutralize the Chip Franklin to Leon Mack long
ball threat. Franklin still managed to complete 15 of 34 passes for
164 yards and two scores. However, he was intercepted three times.
Dunbar's leading rusher, Corey Dunn, was sidelined by a mild concussion
in the first half.
