Last year, T only lost one game: to Moeller.

 

Moeller lost three games: To Cincinnati St. X, Elder and Lakewood St. Ed.

 

Even with the team that T had last year, they would have been hard pressed to make a run in Ohio DI Region 4, let alone get into the state final 4. 2011 may have been a different story, but 2012 would not have been a pretty sight.

 

IMHO, if they had to play the big boys (GCL-S and Colerain plus St. Eds and St. I) in Ohio week after week, they may have a very hard time making the playoffs.

 

They have the state championship success that they have only because they are in Kentucky. Big fish in a small lake.

 

I would respond but now it seems, I am infact defending T so.....

Remember, because of the Harbin system to determine the playoffs, in Ohio you cannot afford a down week like you can in KY. In KY, ONLY the district games (and playoff games) are MUST wins, in Ohio, every week is a MUST win if you want to make the playoffs, then the real MUST wins begin. No first and second round "patsys" like KY..

 

In OHIO, the playoffs are only on a home field during round one, then they are on neutral sites, so very little home field advantage. T could not play most, I did not say all, of their first four playoff games at home or even in Jefferson County. Many of the playoff games in Ohio are 40-50 miles of more from home. It is the not unusual for two Cincinnati teams to play a playoff game in Dayton at Welcome Stadium. State Semifinals for Cincinnati teams are usually in Dayton or sometimes even in suburban Columbus.

No need to respond with an explanation to me. I already said I was done "defending" a fellow big dog.

I agree that Trinity would have less success playing in Ohio. Trinity and St. X. do benefit by being the two big Catholic schools in a county with 750,000 population. In 800,000 pop. Hamilton Co. (Cincinnati), there are 4 big Catholic schools (St. X., Moeller, Elder, LaSalle) plus 2 others that are bigger than Covington Catholic.

 

But the fact is ... I think the other "dynasty" programs in KY in all classes would have less success in Ohio. Bigger population and more competition.

But... it ain't the Ocean.

 

If Trinity say just played in the city of Cincinnati, whose high school football is like the SEC would they have the same success as they have had in KY football? NO. They would have to play top notch teams week in and out. Of course, Trinity would have some success and win some titles but not year in and out. I know Trinity has had some very very good teams in the past few years and would have won titles in other states but they wouldn't run rough shoud through those states as they have KY. I don't wear the green colored glass's as some of you on here.

 

Haters gonna hate!

 

Somebody needs to create the meme with Bob Beatty and Andrew Coverdale looking up at the scoreboard with the title "U mad bro?"

You are correct. All Ky teams in all classes would have a tougher time in Ohio. Much more depth in all classes.

 

I went to high school in Cincinnati in the mid to late 70's and Moeller was the same big fish as Trinity. They blew all teams out and even in the state championship game it would be a blowout the same as Trinity is doing in KY. But Moeller had it's run and while they are still a great program there are others in Cincy that have had just as much success. The thing about KY is that other than ST X ,I don't see much of a challenge for either of those programs.

Take a look at the schedule for the Rocks this year... you don't think that is top notch teams each week?

How long ago did T start playing this stellar schedule? Just curious.

I was only asking because when ever T is brought into conversation, the schedule is like the go to weapon. So I was just wondering when they started playing these type schedules.

Whoa, first off, Colerain HARDLY plays the "big boys" every weekend. Didn't they almost miss the playoffs w/ 2 losses b/c the rest of their schedule (i.e. their conference) wasn't up to par? That was what, 2 years ago? Secondly, Trinity beat St. X who beat Moeller. Who knows what would have happened come playoff time. Would Trinity have 22 state titles in Ohio, not close, but let's not pretend that a school like T would be battling La Salle for last place in the GCL.

2009 they had 3oos games and a schedule similar to X. So ill say 2011 when these regional schedules went into play. So the last 3 seasons.

My little cousin is thee next star for T and I absolutely hate it. :puke: :no:
