RP, I was using an analogy as to winning/losing games that were important to a person as they were trying to win/lose a game in their life. We still kept score and I think you missed by meaning. Should I help you and go in more detail? I rather not, kinda done here this round. Should I use Ping Pong? Personal experinces there RP was the point. Jim, true statement, I try not to lie except when Mama asks if I like her new hairstyle/dress..

Does anybody know who the Rocks freshman/sophomore teams will play? With all the out of county teams they are playing. I know this is too soon to ask

AL;

 

I have no idea as of yet --but from what I know from years past --- the Frosh and JV's always played all of those Cincy Schools.... so you raise a very interesting question. Ballard (to their credit) has played us -- but now with them disappearing .. who knows.

Brentwood Acadamy was 10-3 last year .

 

Montgomery Bell Co. was 10-2 last year.

 

Neither one won a state title.

 

Deem a team's relative strength based on a state championship at your own peril.

 

The 2010 Brentwood Academy team that did not win state also put a beating on Olive Branch (MS) to the same tune that mythical national champion (in some polls) South Panola did (SP beat OB by 11 and 35 in two games, BA beat OB by 32). MBA also beat the eventual state champ at their place during the regular season.

 

Let's go to 2008. MBA handed Moeller its worst loss margin-wise for the season (and in Cincinnati, a 4+ hour drive from Nashville). While Moeller was a pedestrian 6-5 that season, they were playing strong Ohio programs the rest of the year. MBA did not win state that year. They lost to MUS by 28 in the semis. Who is MUS? The only blemish on South Panola's schedule the past 30 games and the only program to beat SP in the regular season in almost a decade.

 

Heck, just look at the last two Trinity-MBA scores.

 

2006: MBA goes 4-6: its first losing season in 24 years. Trinity goes 14-1, wins state. MBA is the lone "L".

 

2005: MBA goes 8-3, first round playoff loss. Trinity: 13-2, title. One of the two losses: MBA.

 

Say what you want about comparative scores or historical head-to-heads. I can tell you this, though: anyone who thinks BA and MBA are not worthy opponents because they did not win state in Tennessee last year is in for a rude awakening.

 

With that said, Trinity will be a handful for both BA and MBA.

Rollredroll,

You're preaching to the choir with me. I've seen too many Shamrock losses at the hands of MBA to think otherwise. Whoever wrote the post you responded to is ill-informed. Is Jeff Rutledge still MBA's coach? Good luck to you next season.

Good luck to Trinity as well. From what I read, the 2011 team may be better than any of the four we saw 2003-2006, and those were, of course, all good teams.

 

Rutledge left after 2006. He was good friends with Ken Whisenhunt and took the QB coach position with the Arizona Cardinals in 2007. Oddly, he parted ways right after the Super Bowl loss to the Steelers (it may have been an old K. Warner vs. young M. Leinart difference of opinion). He is now with a relatively new Catholic school outside of Nashville, Pope John Paul II. He had a tough year, going 2-9, but playing in the same league as MBA, BA, etc., the going is tough.

I echo what tcjkbt said. I believe that other poster is a HHS fan. NOT ONE OF OURS. The Rocks have the utmost respect for your program - for the very reasons you outline. We ain't kickin' no sleepin' dogs.

 

Best of luck to you and have a little mercy on us this year. We just try and put a competitive team on the field.

My post was just stating the facts . It was not meant to be a knock to anyone's football team or program !! Man , everybody is WAY TO SENSITIVE on this forum !!

The Freshman play at Highlands on Sat. am in Aug. Not sure of the exact date. St X backed out so Trinity stepped up and filled in.

There was a perceived implication there. I think others sensed it as well.

Mercy? Competitive team? Sandbaggin' a little early I see!

 

Looking forward to renewing the series; mutual respect reciprocated.

Your cracking me up !! :lol:

 

Aren't state titles the altimate goal in high school football ?

If it makes you feel better , I give your teams a lot of credit for playing Trinity. There are some teams in Ky. that won't put Trinity on there schedule.

By the way , Highlands is my favorite team.

Hoosier, why do you think some teams in Ky. choose to not put the Rocks on their schedule?
