Ninja turtles Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Henderson has a few player makers but just one d-1 lineman. That's their problem vs trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsrider Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I remember someone posting this stat once when Henderson was going to play another Louisville school a few years ago. Trinity HS and Henderson HS are 135miles apart. When Trinity makes the trip they will only drive in KY for 15 miles of the 135. The rest is driven in Indiana. Hopefully they get lost.

Never would've known that! :thumb: If I recall correctly that was the first year of the merger of Henderson City High and Henderson County High in the current Henderson County High School. Seems like Henderson had the lead late but gave it up on a Trinity fake punt? I was only 1 then so my memory is a little foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjkbt Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was there. I believe that was Trinity's first state championship against an opponent from outside of Jefferson County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I was 1 then so definitely didn't see the game. Your memory serves you well. The halftime score was the final score. A photo of the scoreboard at the half appears in the Trinity yearbook for the Class of 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity alum Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Your memory serves you well. The halftime score was the final score. A photo of the scoreboard at the half appears in the Trinity yearbook for the Class of 1977. I was there. Trinity was down 24-14 at one point in the first half. Late in the half Trinity lined up for a tieing field goal, ran the fake, and scored to go up 28-24. That was the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
