The word I hear on the St.X incoming freshmen is that they are bigger,faster and stronger then the last 2 classes and have another stud running back.

Really? Who's the stud?

7th and 8th graders are prohibited per KHSAA rules from playing varsity football.

Tim Couch played.

"bigger, faster and stronger" that sounds like a UK poster.:lol:

and 79,000 strong :laugh: :laugh: or whatever that quote was....

Tim Couch played.

 

 

That was then, this is now.

Joking aside, I think the rule was changed because of Dennis Johnson.

So about these incoming freshman?

The word I hear on the St.X incoming freshmen is that they are bigger,faster and stronger then the last 2 classes and have another stud running back.

where is this stud back from, I am sure he played at a catholic grade school in louisville last year.

Any further information on the "stud running back" supposedly lifting at St. X.? Size, name ?? It seems that in the past few years St. X. has solidified its reputation as a running team and Trinity has solidified its reputation as a passing team. Thus, it should be no surprise to anyone that running backs tend to gravitate towards St. X. and quarterbacks tend to gravitate towards Trinity.

 

BTW, BR90, this young man may not have played grade school football at a Catholic school. There is no requirement that a Catholic high school football player have played grade school football a Catholic grade school. Conversely, there is no requirement that a public school high school player have played his grade school football at a public institution. There are a great number of high school football players in Louisville playing at public schools who played grade school football at Catholic schools. Schools don't own players; the young man and his parents make a determination as to what high school they wish the young man to attend. If that family chooses to pay $8,500 per year tuition for whatever reason to attend St. X., it is their choice, not the choice of the public or private school systems.

hey,I just asked, because I might have seen him play. You are right. There are no rules. Just like there is no rule that T and X can not take kids from IND, or from another county. no one said they were breaking rules. I just wish that butler or PRP or male or manual could compete for the same kids that X and T can. Maybe the kids from Jeff would have rather went to male instead of X or T or a kid from oldham would rather go to ballard, but that cant happen. so before you get in a big debate just wondering from where the stud came from? I am sure if he had come from a catholic school all the T and X posters would have been on here talking about how good the kid was last year. But since they are not i guess he is from outside the catholic ranks, which is inside the rules. So I guess i answered my own question. Just wondering what league he played in louisville or county or state he played in last year?

^ Please no one validate his statement, but bringing up the same old response to a terrible argument.

How is it a terrible argument? Is there no validity to the public schools not being able to compete with kids from outside Jefferson County? I think BR90 was just making a valid point. I still don't understand how you people can continue to say that it is right for players to come from other counties and states to T and X and public schools HAVE to play those schools with kids from ONE county. However, we will never agree on it so I guess we will just have to agree to disagree and live happily ever after.

Thanks for clarifying your answer. Originally, I had thought that perhaps you were making some insinuation that St. X was doing something wrong or had some advantage by taking a player from the public system, but now I see that my impression was erroneous, although you may be able to see why I was confused by rereading your posts. Originally, you stated that you were sure he played in the Catholic system. Then you posted that "i guess he is from outside the catholic ranks".

 

By the way, although Butler, Male, Manual or PRP cannot, to my knowledge, take students from Indiana they can take students from outside of Jefferson County in Kentucky. A student from Oldham County, Bullitt County, Spencer County, or any other county can attend any public school in Jefferson County. However, that student would have to pay a nominal tuition to attend a Jefferson County public school. On the other hand, if that student were to attend a Jefferson County Catholic school the student would have to pay a phenomenal tuition. So you see, if the facts are actually examined, public schools have an advantage over the Catholics in so far as students attending their school from another county in Kentucky. Public schools, being taxpayer financed, also have the advantage of being able to take students whose families have no money whatsoever to pay for tuition. The Catholics are limited only to students whose families can come up with several thousand dollars in tuition, as the Catholics can only give a partial tuition offset based on need. I venture to say that the Catholics receive far fewer students from Indiana than the publics receive from Catholic grade schools who have students that cannot come up with several thousand dollars for high school tuition. Again, when the facts are examined, the public schools have an advantage overall because they attract more students who cannot pay any tuition than the Catholics attract from Indiana. If you belonged to a Catholic parish you would see each year a number of Catholic grade school students who would like to continue on to Catholic high school, but whose parents do not have the funds available to pay for the tuition.The one big advantage that St. X and Trinity do have in football is an overwhelming numbers advantage.
