Here we go, now we've got a St. X Trinity thread!

 

That said, talking about how many kids St. X turns away sounds like an excuse. The football players I knew at Trinity were fine at academics and could've gone to school anywhere. Also, I haven't heard anyone saying that St. X lacks for athletes. Instead, the criticism on St. X has been about the coaching staff and the inconsistent performance of the team as a whole.

Pot stirred :clap:

I should have known it's not football everyone wants to talk about, it's the school as a whole! Maybe Thursday and Friday during the day will be more football talk.

Because they have good athletes, but the athletes on Shelbyville Rd. might be a little bit better.

One thing we can all agree on, is that both schools really know how to tailgate prior to the game..

But I still give the edge to T.....Go Rocks

I know what time the consolation game starts. What time is the championship game? (Central vs Male) stir, stir.

Umm... those two aren't in the same class. Like, not even close. You okay, Griffster?

Here ya go. I will bite.

 

St. X follows their own set of guidelines when it comes to athletics. St. Xavier the school comes 1st. There would be no Football team if there wasn't a school 1st. That is Tiger mentality. A student of Trinity told me this. He said Trinity is better because you can go to St. X and get expelled for whatever reason and Trinity will take you. He then said St. X wont take you if Trinity expels you..... 1 instance of fundamental difference.

St. Xavier has a placement exam to get into school. Trinity does as well but St. X actually turns kids away that do not score well enough. St. Xavier does not offer classes to accommodate students that are not in certain levels of classes. Trinity does offer classes for kids that have learning issues and therefore can accept kids with scores that St. X can not take in for academic reason. St. X will not accept a student they feel will not have the ability to graduate with the curriculum standards to make it to college.

If a student graduates from St. Xavier the student will have met the prerequisites to be accepted into college.

Donald Brooks is at a Prep school because according to him he is not academically stable to be in a 4 year college that is why he had no offers.

just an example.

James Quick and Jason Hatcher...yes they made it to college but their freshman year of college they get busted and Hatcher is suspended for the 1st 2 games this year for unspecific rule violations....just another black eye to football

There are bad apples everywhere St. X does their best to eliminate them!

 

I will say this. I would love to have all the best of the best athletes at St. X. It will never happen because of academic standards. St. X is a lot like Notre Dame and Stanford. The lower level academic athlete can not attend there. St. X is not a football factory. They are a factory of Students and Student Athletes.

 

NOW am I jealous to not win every year? Am I upset?

I will say this. I want to win and win we will. We win in swimming golf tennis wrestling baseball ect......Football we are successful. have we won recently? we have competed and we will get over the hump soon very soon! Heck St. X had Male on the ropes in the play offs a couple of seasons ago. St. X beat Trinity last season and just couldnt beat them in the playoffs.

I am a X Man and I want a X Man leading my programs. I want X Men playing for St. X. That would be Men that want to be X Men not just come to a school to play football. I want a higher standard! That is what I want and have at St. X.

 

last thing does anyone recall the incident with the wrestler at St. X in 2014. Lampey I think was his name. He was suspended for the wrestling regional and therefore couldnt wrestle in state where he was a 3 time state champion and a lock to win his 4th. That suspension probly cost St. X a state Championship. The kid had tobacco in his backpack.....Could that have been overlooked....yes! but it wasnt and I amm proud to say it wasnt. I want to be a part of a school that holds kids to a higher standard. That is St. X in a nutshell in my eyes.

 

I am not mad at all I am just passionate about St. X!

 

I support Coach Wolford, Coach Glaser or whomever the school deems to be the leader of the football team.

This post is why I love Trinity...and I will always be for acceptance. The elitist attitude that this post wreaks of, and that the Xaverians teach, live and breathe...is disgusting.

If Duece and Victor had won 6 state championships between them then everyone would be throwing stones at them. But you can win one and fly under the radar.

And I know of 2 kids (both freshmen football players at the time) who were going to have to serve suspensions at T for substance abuse and instead transferred to X and were eligible right away. That train travels in both directions.

Acceptance for all, especially if you're talented in PE class.....

Back to the game: If the T defense shows up that played at Brentwood and against PRP then the Rocks will be fine. If they are on their heels like against H there could be problems. T needs a BIG game from their O-line.

The difference in the two schools is that X is German Catholic and T is Irish Catholic. Neither "better" than the other, but each better at what they do. Old school Catholics will understand.

 

Refuse to offer? They do not have the resources to help special needs young men that is all I can say. Why? Well that's not for me to answer but feel free to call mr. Espinoza and ask.

 

Then how has T managed it? With that large facility and its massive alumni base you'd think X could have done that. In fact T had theirs in place long before we ever had anything resembling a modern athletic facility.

 

Certainly sounding like X doesn't want a certain kind of student in their school.

Pretty much. This is one of those things that I have had non natives in Louisville tell me they can tell when someone went to one or the other. One is much more blue collar and accepting than the other
