Over the last three years the Big 3 have come back to even playing field. In the mid to late 2000s it was T an X playing for state championships' date=' while H was Turing their equipment in at the beginning of November. H has come back on the last 3 years, but they can't get over the hump and win a state championship. The Big 3 is back and the 6A playoffs should be really fun in Louisville.[/quote']

 

 

I agree on that.

Doesn't matter, you still lost despite being gifted those points.

 

I didn't play, so I didn't lose anything.

 

Did the T offense struggle on offense all by their lonesome, or is it possible that X had something to do with it in the second half?

No question the X D stepped up in the second half. I may not have said it but they indeed did.

 

Their D had nothing to do with the aforementioned plays however.

Obviously the real foe of the Trinity offense in that game was the rain. :lol2:

 

Seriously, I was and still am impressed by the St. X defense, especially in the second half. Shutting out Trinity for two quarters is no mean feat. However, I also must agree with the critiques on their offense. They only earned three points against the Rocks on their own effort, and from what I understand of the Male game it was the defense that either earned or set up most of St. X's points.

we forget Male whooped the hell out of Trinity! St. X played them both close. A Male coach said St. X was better than Trinity.....just quoting a guy that played both teams......as for it being a 3 team race....Due to the KHSAA not wanting the 2 best teams to play in the state championship its a 3 team race plus the other team whomever that might be from the rest of the state

I do think the race for state is interesting given the play of these teams. I also feel like the proper use of ellipses is also interesting.

True, but at the same time a good team is going to work on creating turnovers.

 

True, but turnovers can also be a crap shoot or bad decision making, I guess since X cannot generate enough offense they better keep turning the other team over, or hope the ball bounces their way, but this doesn't apply to the T game, X did not make the long snapper hike the ball over the punter's head.

No, I am saying if X played Male or T again, you can't rely on turnovers to win a game. That is the only reason these games were close. Good teams are not going to turn it over every time X plays them.

 

You're not serious are you?

How many points did T score in the second half?

Similarly, H had 497 yards of offense and managed ONLY 27 points can someone explain that to me?

 

5 turnovers.

You're not serious are you?

 

Yes, X gained 142 and 145 total yards, in each of those games, that will not beat Male or T unless there are alot of turnovers and mistakes.

I was asking a question to the generalization you made. You said "you can't rely on turnovers to win a game". Teams across every level rely on turnovers to win games.That is the defacto difference in winning and losing a game. Creating turnovers.

I think what he means is St. X cannot go into another possible playoff matchup with Male and rely upon Male to make 5 turn overs again, it is highly likely Male will clean up its play and not commit near as many turnovers again. So, as he originally said, X cannot rely upon Male committing 5 turnovers again to beat Male which I believe is a correct statement.

Speaking of long snapper snaps over the punters head, is the Trinity long snapper still enrolled in school? For those of you that have been around a few moons recall that this situation (snapping the ball over the punters head) reared its head and cost Trinity a big ball game. I understood that the young man never graduated from Trinity!!!

Thankyou, I have repeated this several times and on other threads, someone finally gets it.

I agree that X can't go into the game saying get 5 turnovers we win. But like I said, I was speaking on his generalization in regards to turnovers. X can go into the game saying if we win the turnover battle then we have a good shot at winning vs anyone.
