Trinity and Highlands accumulated the exact same amount of points, therefore generating a tie. They both have won the same number of state championships. Their playoff wins and district championships are almost the same. I'm giving the nod to Trinity on the virtue of four extra playoff wins and one more district championship.

 

I'd rather send my kid to Highlands where he might get coached up. As opposed to Trinity where he gets lost in the shuffle. (On purpose)

Have you ever been associated with T? Have you ever watched a practice? All the kids get coached up. If your good enough to play then that is who starts.....I see you also threw in MIGHT get coached up by Highlands coaches, I'm pretty sure they coach up all their players as well

Must be upset over the 50-0 beat down in all the recent scrimmage games the Rocks put on the Bluebirds. Freshman game was pretty funny this year as well. Lot of COACHING UP when the Rocks put the running clock on the Bluebirds in the Freshman game (37-7).

Why would he be upset? He's a SK fan but nice shot at the Birds.

First, he's not one of ours. Hahaha! And then Freshman! Talkin about "freshman" hahaha! It's alright that Highlands and T are tied. Really, it's alright. Both quality programs academically and athletically. I guess first to 24 wins my friend!

Sorry I took the bait guys! Both great programs. tdy is correct...on and off the field.

 

My bad 75center!

No problem, nothing but respect for T. Have always been treated first class when we went there.

And it will always be that way. Same for me - miss making that trip up to Ft Thomas. Again, should have known better after reading and then responding.

What's crazy looking at the numbers is that Trinity has won 23 titles in 47 years. Didn't realize last year's title was 23 in 46 years. That's ridiculous.

Sounds about right. Trinity did it in less time too. But there is argument that the Birds have done it as smaller school playing up at times. I think the Trinity national championship is what really gives them the nod. As a Highlands guy it is an honor to be listed in the top two.

I wish I had the self discipline and patience to do one of these for Basketball. :lol2:

 

I've got that too. The basketball version is coming after this season.

Trinity had exactly the same amount of time as Highlands. They were around several years before the start of the playoff system used as a basis for this calculation. Although HHS obviously had an advantage of a large head start in building it's program prior to the start of the playoff era.

I think you are to be commended gchs_uk9. This was really great to see and looks like you spent a lot of time on this. You are a man of many talents. :ylsuper::thumb:
