Congratulations Trinity on winning every phase on game. Best execution and coaching I have seen. We need to improve a ton.

 

Go Tigers

 

Thank you.

Very classy.

 

Good luck to the Tigers the rest of the way,

May we meet again....................

I was worried about this game, especially after seeing the fire in the frosh and JV teams from X. I think it was there in the varsity guys as well but Trinity was also fired up.

 

Trinity is getting better as the season progresses.

 

I really hope there's a rematch this year.

This is outstanding sportsmanship. Well done, sir.

[UK#1fanisback]

Really nice win. Total domination on both lines, which surprised me a bit.

 

Roderick Thomas kid runs hard.

 

Is Thomas the new kid?

Is Thomas the new kid?

 

Nope. Been there for 4 years.

Rocks win their 11th game with X out of the last 12. Outstanding job by Coach Beatty, his staff, players, and the entire Trinity Community. I'm so proud to be an Alumni. Go Rocks.

One of the things I have wondered about regarding St. X under Wolford is if they seem to have an overarching identity as a team.

 

Under Glaser you knew they would run you over and you knew they would hit you hard. A tough squad that you weren't going to intimidate. Has Wolford been able to instill his own identity of sorts for them? As much as we banter with each other I do want X to do well and improve, I just haven't seen anything like that with the Wolford squads. But then again I haven't watched his teams play as much as Glaser's.

[All Tell]

A few numbers for consideration:

 

Beatty is 19-8 vs. St. X

 

At the time of the now infamous hat tip Glaser was 7-8 vs. Trinity, 3 years later he "retired" with a 7-14 record against Trinity.

 

Wolford was brought in because of X's recent lack of success against Trinity. He is currently 1-5 vs. The Rocks.

[sports fan]

I think you mean Glaser was 7-14 against Beatty. I'm sure his overall record against T is a little better.

You are correct, I misstated that. Those are Glaser's records vs Beatty. Thanks for the correction.

Not much of an identity under Wolford. But then again, he did not come in with a philosophy of how to run a program. Therefore, how can there be an identity?

The one common statement I hear from Wilford, especially after loses to Male, T, and BG is the opposing team being more physical. I have never been to a Wolford practice, but it doesn't appear that "toughness" is demonstrated from the top.

This morning when I skimmed the game article, I wanted to throw my phone into a wall when I read the statement that "they were more physical than us". Is T better? Yes, and it is what it is, but not being able to match physicality with any opponent is unacceptable.

 

Tigers have to learn from this and continue to be successful within the district; hope to meet again in the playoffs.

That was something that Glaser teams always were for sure , tough.

[NewDudeOnTheBlock]

Trinity is a very good team. No surprise here.

I agree with many of the folks here, St X needs to find an identity and I'm not quite sure it is the current offense that we're running. I hate not having tight ends and running north-south with simple play-action passes. Seems to work well with Alabama Michigan and Trinity. Beatty and Coverdale do a great job of running, in actuality, 6-8 different plays out of a lot of different motions and sets and freezing the linebackers with boots and counters.
