I respect the comments on my post asking for feedback. My son went to Male and played there ending in the 06 season so I was at most practices for four years and I also saw "teamwork, heart, efficiency, the golden helmet that stated Discipline, pride, loyalty, and achievment. I also firmly believe that all thru Kentucky you will see the same for most schools.

 

Feeder system/coaches are two really good points and that does carry a lot of the reasons the kids have the chance to learn football early and the right way.

 

Now numbers do mean a lot too, and how you can get these numbers is also a factor that I'll choose to let it go, because it has been discussed a lot and I don't want to go there. Good Luck at Eastern on Friday and I'm going to the game.

 

Larry--don't go on Friday or you will have missed the game. We're playing on Thursday night this week at Eastern.

Why is X/Rocks so much better than the other Kentucky teams?

 

I have some thoughts, but want to read some others first.

 

Louisville private schools

Of course you can never dismiss the size factor. I was simply taking issue w/ your wording in that people are claiming that Trinity & Trinity alone possesses the work ethic, tradition, & coaching necessary to win championships. While Trinity most certainly does possess these traits so do St. X, Highlands, Danville, Beechwood, etc. (just to name a few)

We are in complete agreement...

The question was, "Why is X/Rocks so much better than the other Kentucky teams?" The answer is, numbers.

 

I have a hard time believing that Trinity wins 18 state titles in DI Ohio...

 

I also have a hard time believing that there aren't other schools in the state of KY that have "Discipline, Pride, Loyalty and Achievement".

 

No, we are not the only school that has Discipline, Pride, Loyalty and Achievement. But I believe the way we approach these words is on a different level. We live by those words. The program is supported by the whole Rock community. Where do you think all of the money came from to update our facilities? Out of our back pocket. I was watching high school football on tv the other night and saw that Prattville AL ( I think) just updated their facilities with over a million dollars raised by the whole town. Find me a public school in KY raising that kind of money.

 

You just can't say " Oh , we have Discipline, Pride, Loyalty and Achievement and then start winning championships. It goes much deeper that that. It is a system that starts in grade school and continues through high school. And really, if you have not lived it as the T and X faithful have, it is very hard to describe or explain. Most of the time we come off sounding cocky, which is not our intention.

Rock faithful, the Cinti X game is over. Let's start worrying about what the future holds.

I don't care who started it. I'm just admonishing the Trinity fans (and I am among that number) not to get the big head.

I agree with what you posted but had to respond to part I bolded. I could be very wrong but it is my understanding that public schools (Louisville) can't go and get donations/raise money to update facilities on a specific sport. If I remember correctly, a couple of years ago there was a person (that was in the construction business) that wanted to build a field house at Seneca. JCPS told them that they could give them the money and they would take care of it.

Its all about money.... X and T have enough for those cloning labs.

Wouldn't that be like asking the Pope to not be so catholic? :lol::lol::lol:
