Tipping Point

Highland High School team loses another tough game to Snow Canyon. That makes four losses this season. Props to the boys on both teams for a well played game.

Each week the undeniable yet hidden contribution of the import players from New Zealand, the Highland magic, 100 point to zero games and the "incredible 390 wins" is further exposed and brought to the surface.

Each loss strengthens the case that for 25 years the overwhelming tipping point from one season to the next has always been the import players from New Zealand. Without them there would be 200 wins and 200 losses a 50/50 team and no forever strong movie.

Without these incredible players on the field the High School games are extremely competitive and do much good for local players the spirit and growth of youth rugby.

You still don't print the TRUTH. Where is the note about the 8 HS players not allowed to play for the HS side because they were registered on the U19 team.

No note needed. Those are the rules. You choose U-19 or HS, one or the other. I believe everyone followed the rules. Why would you want import players from New Zealand playing on just one or two HS teams that can afford to pay for these boys to come over? What positive long term benefits would that have other than piling up wins.
