The Cincy teams never had a problem playing us when they were beating us into the ground. Now that we have had the better of them lately, they don't want to play anymore. Rationalize that.

 

Great point.... Why didn't I think of that.

For that matter, Male and Manual scheduled us regularly until we started gaining the upper hand. If you'd like, I can work out the data. Sample: Male played Trinity every year from our 2nd senior varsity season, 1957, thru 1976. Thru 1967, the series record was Male 10-0-1. By 1976 it was Male 10-8-2. The series resumed in 1983 in the playoffs &, except for 2 regular season games, Male saw Trinity only in the playoffs until put in the same district with the Rocks in 2011. Current record Trinity 20-14-2. Maybe those are just numbers but in support of your point, from 2010-12, Trinity went 3-0 with Elder, including one monster blowout at The Pit, and 2-1 with Cincy St. X, the last game a rough one-pt loss for X in the last 30 seconds, which included some serious pops by the Trinity D. I don't know. I just cannot see why the top-tier teams in KY wouldn't look forward to scheduling us.

Bottom line is whether you love or hate T (or X) you should want to schedule them. They bring a good crowd (translated $$$) and a challenging brand of football. I can sooner see why the Cincy schools would give pause, but the top KY schools should be welcoming the challenge.
