Trinity had a good win last week against a solid Carmel team with a handful of D-1 quality ballplayers. The offensive line had their best game of the year in my estimation and seem to have settled in with Nate Shields out for a while. RB JB Berry is getting better and better at seeing the holes as they open up and has become quite the weapon. Jeremiah Lynn had a couple drops but also had some nice receptions, the reverse TD, and a huge TD block for Berry late in the game. Defensively, the penalties persist but DB Caleb Ricks has become a ballhawk with 3 INTs in 4 games. DL Jahbarri Frost has stepped in and been very good against the run alongside Bailey Vance and KeAndre Thompson. 

I feel this game revolves around Trinity maintaining their composure and continuing to open up the playbook offensively. The reverse was a nice call and the squad genuinely looked to be having fun out there last week. P/K Carson Hilbert and the special teams unit will be massive in this field possession game and he is 6-7 all time converting onside kicks (gotta be a record!) The Male OL and DL are solid as usual with Sowells, Jackson Padget and X transfer Mason Mudd asserting themselves very well in the first part of the year. Chayce Burton is a quality back and Andrew Vrbancic is a nice TE who can block in addition to running quality routes.

This rivalry has been hostile for a long time and the Rocks simply cannot let the Bulldogs get under their skin no matter what is uttered in the heat of battle. If Trinity maintains discipline, cuts back on penalties and drops, and can shut down the ubiquitous Antonio Harris, the road to victory is theirs to take. It certainly will not be easy on Friday. ☘️

The last time they met ranked 1 and 2 was 2020. That year didn't go well for the Bulldogs as Trinity swept the regular season game (43-14) and the state final (28-0) with one of their more dominant teams ever.

He was a pivotal blocker against X, especially on the OT touchdown run by Burton. Very good all-around TE, but the lack of a polished, experienced quarterback limits his effectiveness in as a pass catcher. Which is a shame, because he's got great hands, and as you said, runs quality routes.

Did a good job setting the edge almost all night...Easy to see why they have him playing both ways...I assume they will try to use him against Wilson/Vance to do the same in the speed option and Wildcat packages they run with Harris to spring him...Honestly I'd be surprised if they throw 10 passes all night, regardless of what Wolfe thinks of the T secondary.

According to the Glicod listing on Youtube this is audio only.  I don't know if that includes both the youtube version and the original Glicod version.

I am glad on the no audio.  I have that game on my main and the volume is up and I don't want to go out there and deal with it.
