Trinity High School Announces its 2016 Football Schedule

Trinity High School, Kentucky’s 23-time football state champion, announces its 2016 varsity football schedule. The schedule continues to feature top-caliber competition from Kentucky and Tennessee.

The Shamrocks will take on McCracken County High School on Friday, August 12 at Trinity in a pre-season scrimmage game.

The schedule includes the rivalry game against cross-town foe St. Xavier High School on September 30. The game annually draws one of the largest crowds for a regular season high school game in America.

Trinity will open the season on the road in Nashville at Ensworth High School. That game will be followed with Trinity hosting Brentwood Academy, another Nashville powerhouse.

Regular season, non-district opponents will include Lexington Lafayette High School, Male High School and PRP High School.

Trinity will play district games against Jeffersontown High School, Eastern High School, Seneca High School and Ballard High School.

Director of Athletics Rob Saxton H’15 stated, “We believe our fans will enjoy this blend of local and out-of-town opponents against schools that are familiar to Trinity. Our coaches and players are working hard in the off-season as they prepare for a schedule that we hope carries into December.”

Head coach Bob Beatty H’03 said, “We are excited about playing a second consecutive year against this schedule. Our young men are preparing by putting in time in the weight room, into their off-season conditioning and by gaining valuable reps in our just completed spring football program. We look forward to that first scrimmage on August 12 vs. McCracken County.”

No win situation last month of the season. Starters need to get their reps in and work towards playoffs, but schedule will dictate JV kids in by halftime. Wonder if that will come back to bite them in the playoffs.

I hear what you are saying.

I think if you are Trinity you are crossing your fingers and hoping Eastern, Seneca, and Ballard all field one of their best teams in 2016.

While I wasn't a fan of the gerrymandering that created the Super district, I miss its competitiveness when I look at the current one.

They would be better off playing a better 1A or 2A team than Eastern and Seneca.

There are no 1A or 2A teams that ever want to play the Shamrocks.

Please, let's keep this thread on course.

Trinity just needs to go Independent and play for national titles.

No way.

I know it is a sore subject for so many people but schools like Trinity, X, Highlands, Bowling Green, etc. raise the bar for all KY schools.

I agree but wouldnt it be cool to have a team from KY just play the top notch teams every week. Talk about raising the bar and making a ton of money from gate and espn

It would be extremely cool.

However, I don't want to see that type of model trickle down to the prep ranks.

So by time they really get tested in mid November they possibly will have gone 6 weeks without a real challenge? That's going to take some planning to work around it.

Just a question as I don't know much of how the scheduling works, But why is PRP on here? Is it they were the only team who would schedule powerhouse trinity?

This is a good schedule for this years team. I expect to take some lumps early as they lost a bunch of scoring on offense and do not appear to have any D1 talent starting. They can still go all the way as neither Male nor St. X appear to be super strong this year. It will be an interesting year and a challenging one for the staff.

Imagine that no Colerain or St. X Ohio on the schedule.

Well we couldn't fit Atherton in so we figured we'd play some TN powers.
