4A football semifinals: Rematch of 2010 title game pits Highland against Mountain Crest

"There's been some adjustments but it's definitely a concern. I think there were some communications issues on the field in the first half, (but) I thought we cleaned up in the second half," Benson said. "With a team like Mountain Crest I don't think you can give them that leeway 'cause they're going to exploit it. I know that our safeties will be tested on Friday with that deep middle route. We got to preparing and get ready for it."
