St. X (15-5) hosts Trinity (6-8) at 7:00 pm. Trinity is coming off a 78-51 loss to power Covington Catholic. St. X is coming off a 83-68 win at Male. St. X has won three straight against Trinity. The game is sold out. It's unknown if Jayden Johnson has been ruled eligible or not which would really help the Shamrocks if gets eligible. The massey ratings have it St. X 68-57. Sometimes in rivalry games have to throw out the records but with St. X playing on their home court it loos like going to be tough for the Shamrocks to pull the upset. I'll be at game and will provide updates.

 

 

St. X wins this one.

 

What is the point of making Jayden Johnson eligible now? Trinity does not have the horses to make this game close. Watching some of the freshman game last night, I am not sure where their future talent is going to come from. Currently I am not confident in the direction of the basketball program.  

So that Jayden Johnson gets to play.

Especially in this day and age, Frosh and JV scores many times don’t have any bearing on what happens in future varsity seasons.

I think X will be too much here. Too much speed and athleticism.

You might know some of those folks not confident in the direction of the football program in 2022, two years post Beatty. 
 

One and 1/2 years post Szabo, the basketball program is working through transition and ups/downs. Let’s take a look:

1. The Basketball Rocks won the 7th Region in 2024, and finished in the final 8 at Rupp in spite of losing their best player (Vasser) to injury early in their Sweet 16 first game at Rupp. Last year, 2025, the team lost in the 7th Region championship game. 
 

2. This year, they have two outstanding freshman (Jackson and Powers) who have not played one second in a freshman game. Powers has been out so far this year with a back injury and Jackson has played significant varsity minutes. Add those 2 guys to their freshman class and that is a strong class. 
 

3. Junior Garrison Gilvin will be an all 7th Region player this year. A very talented player. There are 4 or 5 other juniors and sophomore’s that play major varsity minutes along side Gilvin gaining good experience.
 

4. Senior Jayden Johnson will hopefully be ruled eligible any day and will be a huge addition to this roster. 
 

5. Without Johnson and Powers so far all season, and with 6’6” senior Horneck and 6’2” senior Cosby missing several games due to injury, Trinity has defeated top 20 teams in Grayson County and Seneca, and has played very competitive games in close losses to Madison Central, Jeffersontown, Lima Senior and Manual. 
 

I think the “direction of the program” will be fine. 

I was told that Jayden Johnson was approved yesterday so guess we'll see if he plays tonight.

Warmups.
