Alas, this was probably Trinity's last weekend playing the Cardinals with the KHSAA decision to bust up the Super District.

Can you explain this to me? Why would breaking up the Super District prevent Colerain and Trinity from playing again?

CardinalsFan,

 

As I understand the realignment, Trinity will be in a district with 4 other teams (Ballard, Eastern, Jeffersontown and Seneca) instead of the three (DuPont Manual, Male and St. X) that they are in now, thus requiring them to play more Ky schools (if they want to play for the state championship). The whole alignment can be found at 05/13/14 ? Final Adopted Alignment for 2015 to 2018 Playing Seasons (revised 7/14/2014) | Kentucky High School Athletic Association Since St. X is not one of the 4 other district teams, they may want to continue to play in their "holy war," thus making them play at least 5 KY schools and who knows other KY schools may want to play them. This gives them less opportunities to play OOS schools. Since they seem to have a preference of playing private schools, this leaves Colerain and Carmel, IN, this year's only OOS private schools on their schedule, as the odd men out.

 

At least that is my take on the situation.

 

If I remember correctly, when the last alignment was announced, they bemoaned the fact that the KHSAA set up the "Super District" because that eliminated the possibility of an all Louisville Private School Class 6A championship. Now they seem to bemoaning the breakup of the "Super District" and putting that possibility back into the playoffs. :ohbrother:

I don't think any of us are bemoaning the loss of the super district. It was fun, but it caused problems for us in scheduling since it took two regular out of district games (St. X and Manual) and made them district games. Prompting us to have to find teams to play us. Our schedule the last few years was largely a result of that.

Just a small correction. Carmel, IN is a public school.

The KHSAA has mandated which weeks must be reserved for district competition. Trinity will lose the game with Cathedral and Colerain as a result unless Colerain has room at the beginning or the end of the season. Trinity does have three openings as of this moment.

Male and PRP have stepped up to play Trinity. Louisville St X is a given since both schools will clear more than $100,000.00 playing this game. But, Trinity and St Xavier have to plea bargain with the KHSAA and their district foes to maintain the first Friday of October as date for the Holy War.

My error, I meant to say public for both Colerain and Carmel. Now, it will not let me edit that post.

The Greater Miami Conference, Colerain's conference, required conference play for weeks 4-10, so if they play, it would have to be in weeks 1-3. Note they have played in week 3 in 2013 and 2014.
