“I am extremely honored and humbled that Trinity High School has selected me as their next head soccer coach,” Helfrich said. “Not being a Louisville native, it did not take me long to learn about the outstanding tradition of Trinity High School and their soccer program. Everything the school does is first-class, and the student body does a great job of supporting all of its programs. I cannot wait to get started working with the student-athletes next fall and help to carry on the outstanding tradition of Trinity High School.”

We'll see if he can compete with the legend Andy Schulten and the Tigers next year. Hubbard is gone and so is a lot of Trinity's attack like Abdublahi... Joe Workman is back and so is junior goalie Wes Luvisi. This Helfrich guy has his work cut out for him.

Wonder how many years the new coach has to prove he can win a state championship?
