I think the Tigers will win 31-20.

I understand that X -JV defeated C -JV by 6 in OT.

Thanks for taking an interest in the Saint X thread(s), Jim. The score you posted is accurate.

 

But it was more like the Tiger JV team pulled out a thrilling overtime win over a Central team that showcased a large number of players who are juniors (this has been a topic on BGP before...juniors are fair game as far as I'm concerned) and who start varsity (this one is a little dumbfounding to me, especially if a player is playing his "varsity" position at the JV level too).

 

Before anyone says "oh, bologna"...Derius "Pootie" Jones (yes, that is his preferred name) wore #4 for Central and had at least 100 yards receiving for Central on two plays alone. He played defensive back and special teams as well. He's a junior. He has started varsity last year for Yellow Jackets at wide receiver and he attended St. X as a freshman. On Friday night, he will start at the very same positions for the varsity team.

 

I can't understand what Central would gain by beating X in a JV game, but it did provide for a very exciting game. Better than a blowout.

 

And ohhhh were the Central fans hilarious when the teams broke for half-time. Comic relief. I wish I could post some of the things they were yelling across the field.

 

But the end of the game really was a nail biter and fun to watch.

 

Any updates for Tiger fans on the Rocks JV or freshman programs, Jim? When did it become Rocks anyway? I always thought the traditional Trinity mascot was a Shamrock. At least it was back in the 1960-90's at least. Thoughts, Jim?

My uncle graduated in 1969 & they were known as The Rocks then according to some of the scribbling on his class notebooks...

The Shamrocks have shortened their name to 'Rocks since at least the early 60's. For those who were around in those days, you will know, Whose right?

I believe that the shortened nickname "Rocks" came into vogue with Coach Jim Kennedy who first coached during the 1966 season.

Nope. Predates Coach Kennedy. So do I.

Arguably one of the strangest posts that I have ever read.

^ Agreed.

^ Shocking! :lol:

I've never been one to read too much into JV results. Frosh - yes. Varsity - obviously. But programs have vastly different approaches with respect to junior varsity.

I do not believe I was assessing any special significance to the JV game -- merely reporting the score which I had learned - thinking it may be of interest to fans of either school. It is not umcommon for JV and Frosh. games to be discussed on BP - with no other sinister motive.

Arguably one of the strangest posts that I have ever read.

I have to agree with you. Guess he just wanted to know my "feelings" and opinions about several things !!!!!

I just noticed Jim was updating us on the St. X JV results. I posted more insight into the game, asked a question about the rock's other squads and decided to ask about the nickname while I was at it. Didn't seem strange at the time. I'll be sure to post single questions and thoughts next time, to avoid the strange post predicament.

No problem. And I will try to be a bit more discerning about passing information on about other schools and teams. I am sure some of that will come to you in time.
