If Male wins similarly to the St. X game, by a small margin, there's no doubt in my mind Trinity defeats them in the playoffs. Trinity is always a different beast in the playoffs. I honestly think the Rocks create a different regular season gameplan for teams they likely will play again in the playoffs. 

If Male smashes the Shamrocks, then it's Bulldogs 6A title to lose... 

This is a different staff….

[DevilMayCare]

Trinity's defense has been rebuilt with all new parts. Seeing X hang with Male might instill a little more confidence and belief in the Shamrocks, but I think in the end, Male exploits some matchup advantages in athleticism and experience and wins by about three scores. 

That schedule for Trinity, though... they'll be battle hardened by playoff time.

Tradition never graduates. New staff or not. Plus, this happened with Beatty a few years ago, Trinity got beat bad by their out of state schedule, then proceeded to beat everybody in Kentucky except I think Male in the final 4 or something

I think I read earlier in a post that they graduated 20 of 22 starters and a bunch of reserves.  That would make this an entire new group. Am I correct? For the state of Kentucky we all should hope T gets back on track. It make a take a season but I believe they will. As someone said Tradition never graduates, but experience does.

Correct. They start 5 or 6 sophomores on defense so really young but should benefit them for the future. The sophomore class went undefeated as freshman last year so good group.

The biggest part of the Trinity defense the last two years that may have been overlooked he just how dominate their DL was. Control the line of scrimmage and you can control the game.

 

It will be a good test to see more of where Trinity is as a team against an instate opponent.

I realize that Male is the overwhelming favorite in this game and I think they will win but I wouldn’t be shocked if Trinity won to tell the truth I wouldn’t even be that surprised.

Trinity has such a reputation for winning that even after and 0-4 start they are still the 3rd ranked team in the State of Kentucky in 6A.

[Tigerpride94]

Looking at Calpreps, 2 of Trinity's opponents are rated 5 and 6 points better than Male. Those are Carmel and La Salle. St. Rita is rated lower than Male by 12 points. Trinity's average margin of loss to those teams is 15 pts. Based on that data, I would say Trinity should lose by 14. That's just a projection on paper so Trinity could do better than this or could do worse. I look forward to seeing how the game goes.

They could be 0-6 after the next two weeks and still be there.

That should be a bumper sticker.  Right next to "clear eyes, full heart, can't lose."

Has there ever been a state champion with a losing record.
