Don't know what you define as a "miraclous transformation". Guess you may call it what you wish. That does not make it so. Others have better explained the purpose and methodology of the Frosh. football program.

 

 

I honestly don't think Trinity is unduly blessed with "talent", year in and year out. Having had an "ordinary" son who played, and knowing what I know from that time, I believe it's a top to bottom philosophy of believing in the "way". They learn from day one, and no one is "guaranteed" anything. They work every day (everyone affiliated with the team) to improve. I don't think we're different from other programs, for the most part.

I think last year's record was somewhat misleading. The Rocks lost 2 or 3 games due to missed PAT's. They also just didn't have much depth on the O line or D line it seemed. They had some very talented skill players. The class ahead and below will fill in the gaps and this group should contend for a state title like always.

Silly Mom...everyone knows that Tigers are carnivors. :lol:

 

In all seriousness, I would like to hear more comments about what has brought about this miraculous transformation.

 

That dredded word- Juniors.

Very nice win! Congratulations.

Stop it....they couldn't have played more than a handful.

Those who did play might have been a little lethargic because of the late night the night before in Bowling Green, assuming they made the trip.

Regardless, it was a good win against a national powerhouse.

Nice win. I thought Trinity and St.X only do good against Ky schools? The Ohio football love fest on this board just took a hit.

Lou.X will find out next year how it matches up with the Ohio powers when they take on Moeller and CincyX...at least that's what I've heard is being worked out in the schedule.

Corbin plays LexCath in a few weeks! What are your predictions?

Nice win T JV! :ylsuper:

Someone please explain this to me and why is it a big deal??

 

I understand why people would complain/make fun of a program if a kid is a junior playing JV and is also starter on the varsity. But if a junior that rarely gets PT in a varsity game why shouldn't he be able to play JV to better prepare him for future varsity games.

 

So what am I missing here? Why this such an issue?

It's really not an issue....it's just that when a JV sophmore dominated team loses to JV junior dominated team it should be openly disclosed that the victor played mostly juniors so everyone knows whether you're comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges.

Understand what you are saying. I guess I just don't look at it that way. I think that if a junior doesn't/can't start on the varsity level. He may need more game experience to make it to that level. The only way to make that happen is to give him JV time.

I agree....lots of schools play juniors on JV including X. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact in Trinity's case recently it was probably a great idea to bring down many key juniors give the cancellation of the PRP game. Those second team varsity juniors benefited by getting the reps against a quality opponenet. It's just that when a JV score is reported and say Trinity beats Cincy X-- some might reach the conclusion that Trinity's sophmore class must have really improved over the course of last year's losing season...but apparently the truth of the matter is that Trinity started mostly juniors in that game, and only a handful of sophmores. I have no clue how many if any juniors Cincy X played. But the issue is at least noteworthy when comparing the development of a particular class and projecting their future success.
