We all have tasted this pill over and over again. It is an essential part of building sustainable character and programs with deep roots.
Winning all of the time is like weight lifting with no weight on the bar. I did 100 reps to your 0. How much weight, resistance, competition did you have? Can't answer that question .....got to go.
Check out the Highland website. Not one mention about the recent losses to Davis, United and Snow Canyon.

Easy to be proud of smashing teams 70,80, 100, 120 to zero. Humility in losing will take time.
The bitter pill of defeat is difficult to swallow because it exposes the thin veneer of the appearance of superiority and 25 years of unbeaten teams. Highland is discovering what it is like to compete on a level playing field. It will continue to have its ups and downs like all teams. But the downs are good because that is the only way you discover your weaknesses and the areas that need work and improvement. And it builds character because that is the way of life.
Don't sweat it Highland...join the club of occasional mediocrity and welcome to reality and our world.
Humble Pie is good for the soul.
