James Yodice of the ABQ Journal started his Metro area football previews today starting with Highland High. He writes that it is conceivable that this could be the last year Highland is able to field an 11-man football team until their numbers rise again, if ever. They have 17 seniors this year and will not have a JV. I know Highland has not been a force for sometime but for someone who has followed HS football in this City for years, they used to be a tough program that produced great athletes - Bobby Newcomb and Mark Walters to name a few. They used to play hardnosed, smash mouth football. I know their demographics have changed considerably in the past decade but if they do not field a team or drop football all together, it's too bad for a school with their legacy, at least as far as ABQ football is concerned.
