I think if you are Trinity you play these teams like Boyle and Cal to shut them up and prove you are and have always been the best in the state. I can’t imagine a coach at Trinity thinking I don’t want to play those teams because I might lose.

I think if you are Trinity you want to play anyone in KY that is willing and competitive. Beyond that, I would look outside Kentucky.

I think outside of the built in rivals, playing a national schedule is best for Trinity.

He's breathing rarified air for an in-state recruit on the national stage. Not many Kentucky kids have had numbers like that attached to their name. Tim Couch comes to mind, but I'm struggling to come up with another one.

Recently Wandale Robinson out of Western Hills. He was the #1 athlete and a top 60 recruit in the country at 5’6. Then before that Damien Harris out of Madison Southern. He was the #1 RB and a top 10 recruit.

Why would Trinity care about “shutting up” CAL or Boyle County?  The Rocks are top dog in Kentucky high school football. Playing the schedule they have played for the last 20 years vs top teams in Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, etc is a win win for the Rocks. Beat these very strong out of state opponents and you gain even more respect. Lose to these very strong out of state opponents and learn about your team for the post season. Iron sharpens iron. CAL and Boyle County have nothing to lose in facing Trinity. They are trying to get where Trinity already lives.

I can't find evidence to support Harris as a Top 10 recruit. Rivals had him at #23 and 247 had him at #31 with a #45 composite. Kellan Hall is Top 5 with Rivals/on3 and ESPN, and #8 in the 247 composite.

Of course, we're splitting hairs here. All of these kids - I'll also throw Michael Mayer in there - were/are studs coming out of high school. I've just never seen a KY kid rated this high before in the modern era of recruiting.

I'd like to see Trinity schedule a home and home with Boyle and CAL, just to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Beyond that, I'm in agreement with you.

Because sometimes you just need to show people their place. Think back to elementary school there was always one kid running his mouth saying he was going to beat you sooner or later you have to have to put him in his place. Two years ago Boyle was are the hype after they beat that out of state team and everyone saying are they the best team in the state now it’s Cal you just have to put them in their place and show them who the big dog is.

I don't think you'll see that, but there is a good possibility you might see a Boyle & CAL home-and-home for the 27-28 cycle.

Think Mayer was top 50 and number 1 TE coming out.

Absolutely thrilled for this extremely hard working & respectful young man!

Another top honor for Ja’Hyde.

Interesting graphic.  After Evans flipped recently, Louisville will have to work hard to keep him.  I think Ja’Hyde’s commitment is fairly “concrete” but in today’s college football recruiting landscape, you just never know until they sign.  Regardless, this young man has absolutely earned every bit of the accolades coming his way!

Ironton 7v7 pool play for CAL this Saturday.

More than likely, I’ll be in attendance so I’ll at least get to see Highlands plenty ?
