Not really. No one else would have scored on Trinity either.

Male was averaging somewhere around 45 ppg coming in, I believe.

The average score of T's last 3  playoff games (Dixie Heights , St. X and Male) was 38.3 - 0. T was strong  at all 3 levels and were deep, for instance, they lost to injury arguably their best defensive player, Charlie Ely,  5-6 weeks ago and just kept on trucking.   Have to relish this season.  Next year will be different, of course,.

In the Beatty Era, where does this team rank? How do they compare to the 2011 team?

Just off the top of my head, I'd say 2011 was better.   This year's team did not have the explosive offense that team had, or the individual talent,  but had a  better defense.   It's hard to evaluate all the teams Beatty has had.   One that stands out though was circa 2002.   They had a good defense.   I think they beat Male about 45-17 in the championship at Papa John's (could be wrong).    One constant about Beaty's teams IMO is the QB play....seems T always has a decent QB.   I know Oscar Brohm volunteers to coach the QBs.   Maybe this is part of the reason.

I think the 2020 defense was better, but the 2011 team was better from top to bottom. Way better. The defense was almost as good as the one from this year, and the offense was way more explosive in 2011. 

Congrats Rocks. Thanks to the entire Trinity family but especially the Seniors. You guys are special.  

CONGRATS!!!!

Well earned - despite a season like no other. Ever.

Hard to see a vital cog like Mr. Ely on the sideline unable to compete.

A very special group of young men.

The 2011 team was a better overall team because they were so good on offense. Those guys had James Quick and Daylen Dawkins (who played in the NFL a little spell) and Travis Wright was close to a national record for completion percentage. Plus, if I recall they had 12 guys with 200 or more all-purpose yards on the season.

The defense this year is better - no question. But overall the '11 team is better.
