For the fifth straight week Trinity takes on an undefeated foe.

 

I talked to the scouts from Trinity that watched PRP's game against John Hardin. They said they are a good team with speed. Not Male speed but better speed then they've had in the past. At least one receiver with break away speed that could get behind the defense.

 

Who wins and by how much?

Trinity rolls in this one. PRP is good, but not Trinity good. Shamrocks 45-14.

We'll have this game on a delayed basis (Saturday night, 8:00pm on WBKI-34) so I've done some prep work on it.

 

Coach Beatty at Trinity is VERY complimentary of PRP and the job Jason Hiser does overall. Said they are not the typical team he's faced with just good athletes that really don't understand how to put them in position to win. Knows PRP studies film and can find ways to hurt T like Male did.

 

Coach Hiser said it's simply another great Trinity team. They won't beat themselves. They also have game-breaker athletes in an offense that knows how to set things up, move you around, then hurt you where they find an advantage. He knows his team must play a clean game turnover & mistakes-wise but then also must do some things to make big plays happen (as Male found a way to do).

 

Coach Beatty was ADAMANT that this won't be a 'trap game' for his guys and that he knows people will think they're in a position for a let-down after an emotional game vs. Male that they pulled out at the end. On the contrary, he feels fortunate his team had to go through that, still figured out a way to win, but now has to rebound and play an "A-game" the very next week against a quality opponent. He says this is an OPPORTUNITY for his team to 'check off one of the boxes' of things a team needs to experience to become truly season-hardened.

 

It's a non-district game so there are no playoff implications, but it's clear to me from talking to both coaches that this is an OPPORTUNITY game. For Trinity they get the chance to show they have the mental toughness to come back after an emotional win with the kind of intensity needed to beat a quality, athletic opponent they truly respect and for PRP, it's a chance to get one of those "Program Wins" that you talk about for years.

Dr. Lit has them by 19.

Trinity 62

PRP 15

PRP will score at least once, maybe twice, but Trinity still wins by 3+ touchdowns.

This kind of my thinking, too.

Trinity - a lot

PRP - not enough
