Final.

Sounded like some game!

[rockmom]

It sure did. These young Rocks sure made it a great game!

Cicny X just too big and too strong-Especially the running back

He NEVER went down on first contact!

Great test for Trinity and they really competed well against the best team they will probably face all year.

T scores first , highlighted y a 50+ run by Bishop. X counters when Hundley, seemingly ready to be put down, breaks free and goes 91 yards for a TD. Half ends 7-7. X receives 2nd half kick-off and puts together a 16-play, 80 yd, drive to go up 14-7. X then adds a 46 yd FG in the 4th after a 15- yd T punt to lead, 17-7.

T answers with a 38 yd (approx,.) FG to trail, 17-10. T drives into X territory , to about the 35-40, and throws an int. on 3rd down with about 1 or 2 minutes left to seal their fate.

I thought T answered the bell fairly well against a strong X team. X was the better team tonight......by about 7 points.

Way to go Bombers!!

I thought Elder was big and fast. Wow! Big, fast and strong. Bringing guys down with one arm. They hit our receivers hard. Conner Hunley is the strongest running back I've seen since Shaun Alexander. Not as fast but just as strong.

Trinity played very tough on D. Moved the ball on offense. St. X D was so stingy inside the 30. Trinity receivers just couldn't get loose.

Trinity gained a lot of experience tonight. This game will serve them well.

Quite a different game than when these two met last year. Trinity represented themselves (and KY prep football) well tonight. If one or two plays had gone a bit differently, then who knows what would have happened...

 

Congrats to Cincy St. X for the win and to Trinity for the hard-fought game. What was the crowd size?

[fatsnbul]

St. X brought less fans than Elder. Trinity fans filled their side and a third of the visitors stands. Two deep around the fence. I would say a little less than last week. Maybe 7500-8000.

Good effort Rocks. Doubt any other team would have hung this close to them. Great test for our bunch of "youngsters." They can only grow and learn from this. Let us see how they rebound. Great job.:thumb:

I said in the predictions thread that Hundley would be the difference for X.

 

That kid is an absolute bus. Scary to think he'll be back again next year. Having talked to Specht many times over the past 2 years, Connor is simply a kid that busts his tail everyday both on and off the field. He's a horse and takes pride in being the one that delivers the blow instead of being on the receiving side.

 

T, for all of their youth and "inexperience", sure did represent KY football well though. Look for the Rocks to add #20 this year.

Since the stadium only seats 4,800 total people, that's 3,700 standing...amazing. Just out of curiosity, what constitutes a sellout? Is there some kind of legal or insurance limit on the number of tickets you can sell? Is the limit connected at all with the stadium's seating capacity? :confused:

Not sure on the limits question. I would guess most of the students/girls never see one minute of the game rather they are socializing behind the stands and in the end zone area the whole game.

I thought the stadium seated 7500...I was at both games and thought it was more crowded for the x game
