Rocks8010 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Maybe not the most talented Elder team compared to the past few years but a great test for the young Rocks. Great Game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSGrad-N-Dad Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Congrats Rocks on a hard earned win!! You showed more poise than many teams I have watched before on that field. Marching 64 yards in 3:33 and picking and choosing the right calls. You should be very proud!! I know we Alums are!! Then it's time to get back to business for next week as Cincy St. X totally dominated the Tigers. Staying together as a tight knit team will be crucial. The Brothers for Life motto showed tonight when adversity struck, but you hung together for that last winning drive!! GO ROCKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperstown Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Does Trinity and Elder have a contract to play each other in future years? Seems like a very nice matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wow... impressive! Elder is now on the ropes in terms of making the playoffs, just like Colerain last year when they missed out after losing two early-season games and winning the rest. The Elder and Colerain scenerios are much different. Elder has plenty of chances left to make some serious Harbin hay in their own conference. A two loss Panthers team is a LOCK to make the playoffs. But, that's a tall task. This could easily turn into a 6-4 or 5-5 type team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM SEYMOUR # 85 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wow! One of the most exciting games I've ever seen at Trinity. T led the whole game until about 3 and half minutes to go when #5 for Elder caught a middle screen, broke a tackle and scored from about 30 yds out to give Elder their first lead, 20-16. T returned the ensuing kickoff to their 36 or so, and then embarked a classic game-ending drive to win it at the buzzer. I don't believe Elder was called for a single penalty the whole game, nor do I recall them having a turnover. Thus, T had to earn this win. T made what I think was their only TO to give Elder the ball at midfield which led to Elder's TD to give them the lead. Elder was very well coached IMO and they didn't bite on plays that perhaps would be successful against lesser opponents of T. You hear a lot about Quick and Hatcher for T but do not underestimate the QB, Wright. He shows uncommon poise for a soph and has a quick release. All in all, a very satisfying come-back win for such a young team. Great post. Quite the impressive accolades - especially in view of your history and the # of games (you played in) as well as witnessed on that field. This is indeed a very very special collection of young men. No Wonder Coach B is so high on them. Maybe Alan was on to something about "Legends". Outstanding.:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 A little surprised this one was this close, but anytime you can pick up a W over Elder is huge. Congrats to the Rocks and way to represent the state. Next week will be a tougher matchup. Ben Coffaro is a good RB, but Connor Hundley of X is a man among boys.

fatsnbul Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Isn't Quick a wr? If so it would make sense he'd get less touches than a rb. From the little I've seen he impacts the game whether or not he touches the ball. Major talent. Officially he is a wr but gets several chances to run the ball with sweeps and screens.

tcjkbt Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 In three games Wright is 66 of 81 throwing the ball-------81.5%. I really think he can be a tremendous QB. He seems to have all the tangible and intangible tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDanza Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I listened to a little of the game on the radio during the first half. When I heard the 18-0 at half I thought.....snore! Second half and last seconds must have something?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcjkbt Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 It was 10-7 at half. Final seconds were indeed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks seem to forget this T team is very very young. No question about their talent - ability, and now their Heart. They should be allowed to progress in their own due time. Hopefully they will surpass all accolades. There is something to be said about the accumulation of snaps - and experience. It is a long road - let's not push them too hard. The Coaches will see to that. BTW - great article in the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
