History
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Highland dominated wrestling in the AA Ohio school division, winning Ohio High School Athletic Association state titles in 1975 and 1981. The 1975 team was coached by James Florian and Robert Burton. The class of 1981 may have been Highland's greatest. "It was a perfect storm," one alumni is quoted as saying. "The people, individuals actually, when put together were exceptional and worked as a team to win the wrestling championship." Many of the wrestling team members went onto wrestle at various colleges across the U.S. Todd Winter went onto becoming Ashland College's 40th greatest wrestler of the 1980s.
Jim Ritcher, another notable Highland athlete, went on to play collegiate football at North Carolina State, where he won the Outland Trophy in 1979 for the best offensive lineman. Ritcher spent 14 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, where he played in four super bowls and was a Pro Bowl selection in 1991 and 1992.
Recently in 2008 the Highland football team went 11-2, winning the suburban league and making it to the regional finals. The 2008 team was the furthest Highland has ever gone into the playoffs.
