Trinity vs. St. Xavier Predictions/Updates (6A Semifinals)

[SHAMROCK69]

I do respect you 94. You are easily the best X poster on here.  You do treat Trinity with fairness. I meant no disrespect to you.  Let’s hope for good weather

Thanks! Good weather and no injuries.

I've got to say - that I sincerely doubt that many on here would admit to have expected

X to have gotten this far and play in the STATE SEMI-FINAS .

Congrats to on that feat alone.

Hope and prayers the insidious virus stays away and allows the game to be played.

X camp already making excuses and saying wait until next year. Been reading that on here since 2009.  Sooner or later it may happen.  Go Rocks!!!!

I just hope the Tigers have the courage to get on the bus and head to St. Matthews on Friday. The Rocks are pretty scary.

I think both teams showed who they are this week. 

Trinity- 45

St. X- 7

Calpreps rankings have updated and now have Male at #2 with 38.8 and St.X #3 at 38.7. They also dropped Trinity’s national rating from 38 to 41. Must have been some other games around the country on Saturday that changed things. I wanted to update since different from original post. Not much difference so really just splitting hairs.

[PhenomxX]

Trinity by a whole bunch.

 

T: 55

X: 10

Running clock before halftime 

That is extremely unlikely, IMO.

Anniversary of greatest game in KY HS history.

The smallest margin of victory for Trinity this year is a 29 point win over Male. Enough said.

I agree with Purple88. Trinity is ranked too low at #38 in the nation.

Maxpreps has Trinity at #12.  I think that's more of a fair ranking.  Good for St. X for getting to this point.  I just think Trinity is a step or two above anyone in KY.  35-10 with a good showing from the tigers in the first half.

St. X's defense played well in the first meeting, they just didn't play well in the other three phases and that's how the game got so out of hand so quickly. The Tiger defense has played well the last two weeks and obviously the style they'll see Friday will be different, but they're playing with a lot of confidence. If St. X has the penalties like they did against Manual and the turnovers like they did against North Hardin it will be a running clock in the second half. Offensively for the Tigers, they can't get away from running the ball early. Getting 2 or 3 yards against this Trinity defense is a good thing; they just can't become predictable and allow Trinity's defense to pin their ears back and get after whoever the QB is for St. X on Friday. If the Tigers can hit the flats and roll the pocket rather than just drop back passes they'll probably find more success than they did in the first matchup against Trinity. Tough task, and I'm not sure if any team this year can keep it close with Trinity, but there's only one way to find out...show up Friday and make sure to do the little things right, and that probably won't even be enough.

Any news on the injury front?

Unfortunately I tend to agree with you LTR. If we are unable to throw at all, it will be along night for the Tigers. Glad they got here. Losing first 2 QBs a killer, but maybe wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

The good thing with Mekhi at QB is the best player is going to touch the ball every play, the bad part is you become predictable. Maybe Coach Wallace will bring out some plays from his triple option days.
