Am I mistaken - or did I read somewhere that NH has a higher \ better RPI rating that T ?

 

If so - can someone explain that ???

Thanks

 

Trinity’s out of state schedule hurt them because of way they calculate RPI. Plus North Hardin went undefeated which helps a lot.

Correct. If Trinity had a higher RPI, they'd be the #2 seed and be hosting.

It was Ballard. KHSAA website says Ballard. Plus just looking at score will tell you it’s not 1-9 Ballard Memorial. Maxpreps has Ballard Memorial but It’s error.

Yes, an error. Ballard Memorial is in far western Kentucky I think, close to the Mississippi River. I doubt North Hardin or Ballard Memorial would drive 5 hours to play a regular season game. Plus, BM is a class A school, another reason NH wouldn’t be playing them.

So if you go out of state to play top competition, it may cost you a home playoff game. Yeah, that makes sense...

Yeah, bad system. RPI treats every out of state opponent as .500 on wining % component.

Been awhile since the Rocks were underdogs.

North Hardin is a natural grass surface. It was torn up pretty good last Friday against McCracken County. It does have larger visitor bleachers than Central Hardin for those of you who came to Cecilia several years ago. All concessions and restrooms are on the home side of the field. It was renovated several years ago and the facilities minus the field are in good shape.

 

Field conditions were not very good, by the end of the McCracken game it was a mud pit.

North Hardin, just came off a four year losing streak to DeSales. Three of those games weren't even close. There is no way they stay close to the Rocks.

I wouldn't say they are underdogs just because the RPI system is flawed.

For those close to the Trinity program, what is the current health of the Trinity team going into the state semifinals?

I was being sarcastic. But heck, if I’m Beatty I’m telling the boys we’re going to play a higher ranked team with the # 1 defense all day everyday.

If anything, Trinity should walk softly and carry a big stick. No need for bravado before an important game....or any game for that matter. All it can do is hurt you. I'm not getting on any particular posters---my take here is just based on the way I was brought up and approached games.

I don’t care who you have played, 13-0 is a very good team. Also, A grass field, especially a muddy one, is something they aren’t used to. Go in expecting and preparing for a 13-0 team in the state semifinals. That is the only way to survive and advance.

About as healthy as they can be. I saw maybe 3 guys in street clothes Friday, but didn't recognize them. So I'd say they're good to go.
