Anyone know how to get a copy of the 2002 Male/Trinity Game?

 

Start with the KHSAA. Anything that they don't have on record should be available through the EKU library archives. You can contact them at 859-622-1792 [email protected]

I'll bet Beechwood has had a few classics. I recall a controversial one in the 90's where the QB was supposed to run out the clock and take a safety...

 

A more classic game would have been the one where Beechwood was going for their 4th or 5th title in a row. At the end they went for the two point conversion to win it and just missed. Connect there and I believe they would have won 7 in a row.

The Fort Campbell V Newport Central Catholic title game in 08 was good. Certainly had me on the edge of my seat while listening from Afghanistan.

 

Later.

I can't think that a coach would go to a zone against Trinity's spread with Brohm at the helm. He would have picked that apart as well. Plus, Male runs man coverage- who is to say they even had a zone scheme in for that game beyond a prevent. I'm willing to bet that they didn't practice zone beyond prevent very often. I remember LexCath playing Male that year and saying "The only way to beat these guys is to out score them because no one will stop Bush". Brohm and company did that.

 

There was not a defense in the state that was going to slow down those teams on that day. St. X (16), Eastern (35) and Dixie Hights (31) were the only teams to hold Trinity under 40 all season in 15 games- including a demolishing of Cincinnati Colerain.

 

Male was held to 22 by St.X that year in their first meeting- then got 51 dropped on them in the playoffs. Lex Cath (35), Highlands (35) and Manual (27) did the deed and held Male under 40. Again, Male played 15 games.

 

My point is that the offenses on these two teams were stellar- even good teams like Highlands, St.X, Manual and Lex Cath couldn't slow them down. The offenses deserve major props and this is the greatest championship game in state history, IMO.

 

Ha, best quote of this is that the only way to beat Male was to outscore them. Probably very true. I remember the season before in 2001 beating Male who had a combination of Sergio Spencer, Chris Barclay, Bush, and Blackerby(sp?) as QB. That game was one where we (Lex Cath) simply managed to start scoring in bunches and were lucky enough to hold Male to some field goal attempts. That next season 2002 we got to play Male in the regular season and have Bush simply run, pass, and recieve all over us that game. Course I remember also opening the season with a scrimmage against Trinity and Brohm that showed me just how dangerous both guys can be at the quarterback slot. Bush/Brohm were two great players at a great time in Kentucky highschool history.
