Thought it might be for sure if they won. Good possibility I think they fall off a lot next year and competing with the new school for players as well. He has had a great career that's for sure.

David Johnson had 22 points & 12 boards to lead Trinity.

 

Michael Moreno finished with 12 points & 12 boards to lead Scott County.

 

5 of 7 from long range as well as four blocks. He played a man's game on the biggest stage.

Congratulations to Trinity and cousin coach Mike Szabo.

 

It was mentioned that Rocks offense was suspect at times but never the defense. 34.5 points allowed per game in 4 games.

 

Congratulations to Scott County. Taking it to the last game two years in a row is more than impressive for both the coach and players.

He's in his mid-60's and has been in the game for 40 years. There's nothing left for him to prove. With the changing landscape that's sure to come with the opening of Great Crossing, now probably feels like the time to step away. Good for him if he does.

Congrats to Trinity! Crazy to think neither of these teams won their District!

Congratulations to Trinity and Coach Szabo. Very deserving champions. I have enjoyed watching them this season.

I'd say probably late 60's he told me the night he won his 1000 game at Frederick Douglass he started coaching in 1974.

Congrats to Trinity! Crazy to think neither of these teams won their District!

That's a great factoid. Anyone know when two district losers ended up in the championship game?
