It would seem that a program like Sacred Heart with a #2 finish in cross country, #8 finish in Golf, #2 finish in Swimming, #5 finish in Track/Field and a #2 finish in Volleyball should be given serious consideration as the top program in the state if we don't have a gender bias.

 

Their last 20 year history of athletic excellence is as strong as anyones.

 

LBB, X had four state championships and two runner ups. That's twice the number of top 2 finishes that SHA had. I think if you add up the state championships that SHA has had over the last 20, you'd find that they would be pretty far behind X. Just looking quickly, it looks as though they've won less than 30 state championships over the last 20 years, which X has done over the last 10. They do have great programs over there though.

I believe SHA was also #1 in the country in Field Hockey.

I am much too quick to be hit with a hammer!

 

So a Steelers fan is going to drop the hammer, huh? Go figure. I hope they are ready for the Cincinnati Bengals to drop the hammer on them!

This is a football blog. Where did field hockey come from? lol

I apologize, this thread was under the football blog portion. This was about the SI best sports program. I retract my previous statement. Go on with the talk of field hockey.

Maybe this is why St. X threw up a billboard about 2 stoplights away from the Trinity football stadium. :lol:

As usual, the Bengal fan hasn't a clue what XTiger and I were talking about. And just like Steelers, X has rings. And just like Bengal threads, I've seen alot of ring envy in this one.:sssh:

TA, you better get a state championship in baseball first before you go claiming to have a "clear edge." X also has some state titles in basketball, which is something T can't claim (granted the last one came when my father was at X).

 

My understanding was that it was for last year. In recent years Trinity has had a clear edge in baseball, football and basketball.

Trinity has placed a few on Poplar Level over the years. FYI.

Well, last year football was split head to head, we didn't play in basketball, and you did beat us pretty thoroughly in baseball. Clear edge last year in one sport. Congratulations. :dancingpa

Keep telling yourself that. I love it.

St. Xavier is the premier High School in the state and is the standard against which all others are judged.

While I beg to differ (and not just on the behalf of Trinity), I will agree that they are ONE of the premier high schools in the state.
