This in a nutshell is the Trinity - St X rivalry. They tailgate together, they sit together and even drive to the game in the same cars. :dancingpa Many families have fans for both teams under the same roof. Maybe this comraderie is a key element in any strong rivalry, just like the Highlands - NCC!

At our school, Mercy Academy, many of the BBall players play other sports. Field Hockey and Golf are more likely than volleyball due to the strong club programs for VBall. It's just about year round. For guys, look at Brian Brohm, who starred in FB, BB and Baseball. He went to state in all 3 sports. Don't know whether it's frowned upon in catholic schools, but playing multiple sports seems to happen a lot.

He had a dominant "X" chromosome! :lol:

Heard an interesting stat on the air today. Coach Beatty has NEVER lost to a team the 2nd time they faced them in a season. :scared: Obviously he can make adjustments. I hope X didn't show them too much in that first game. Go Tigers!!!!!!

I hope it rains like crazy. Advantage St X, last year withstanding.

Scott Davenport said on the radio today he thought Redman was coming home, but it may have just been wishfull thinking from the old Ballard coach. FWIW.

No dog in this fight, but my 0.02 ..... I saw about half the St X games, and at least heard the others on air. Central was the most physical team X played all year, very hard hitting. They were stuffing Deuce on a regular basis until he got hurt. They just wore down at the end. Don't know a thing about Belfry though, and 14 - 0 is nothin to sneeze at. I'm pulling for Central, but good luck to both.

On the JoeB show today, he heard Robey might announce today sometime....anyone hear anything?

Hey, just a friendly little jab I said. Only a few folks know whether he did or not anyway, those in the pile. It was a heckuva tackle either way. Good luck Saturday. I like your position better as the underdog, just like last time. Hopefully for me the game plays like chalk this year.

Then I guess my hunch was right, just never heard it that way before. Thanks

Just an interested spectator here, needing a lesson. What do you guys mean by "All A", I'm not familiar with the term. Thanks in advance.

Since they did not tape because they were asked not too, they really didn't break the rules, did they? Would that still be a violation? Maybe they didn't know. Case in point: I, as a parent and not a coach, taped a game of a field hockey team and they were not playing my daughters team at the time. I mainly focused on one position, and specifically one girl. I did this because the girl I was taping is spectacular, is very small like my daughter. I wanted my daughter to see the moves she uses against bigger and stronger defenders. Did I do anything wrong?

ladiesballcoach, Off topic, but that is a wicked cool avatar you have. It made my day. How nice for the season. Will it stay after Christmas? .

I don't understand how thinking that (if we do what you say) is arrogant. We're not bragging because because we are accused of these things, it just goes with the territory. I have not had a single conversation this YEAR on this subject where the words "recruiting" or "cheating" did not come up. I expect it, but I am not arrogant because I do. On the original topic, I don't really see problem with what he said, though I don't agree that the KHSAA did it for the money. Maybe they did what all our tourney should do, and set it up where the strongest two teams have a chance to make the finals. The NCAA seeds the BBall tourney for a reason, so you don't have all the number 1's in the same bracket. On a side note, they sure didn't try to do the same for field hockey this year(daughter plays) as all Catholic schools and the top public school were in one half of bracket. Those teams beat all the teams in the other side of bracket. It was pretty much a chalk tournament.

I think Vic made it..that's all. I was on around the five, so I didn't have a straight shot though. Should'nt have been that close to begin with anyway, it was just a jab. :fight: Go Tigers!

This game always makes me nervous. I remember '05 and the blind ref in the endzone. Nervous because of: history it's hard to beat a good team twice in a season we shackled Tim Phillips (except the 1 long run) and that will be hard to do again. He killed us last year in the short game. I love your stats jimmyref, but...... Go tigers!!

Coach Redman, is that you?!? :lol:

See bolded comments above. I honestly admit I know nothing about the situation outside of Louisville, even though I am from Bardstown. Maybe it shouldhave stayed the way it was years ago when counties and city had seperate championships. Sometimes, you must be careful what you wish for.

Chrisitan Academy has decent field hockey, but not football. They have great facilites, with a seperate field for football, field hockey AND soccer. Three fields!! Plus the school is immense, so they have room to grow. That part of town is booming, and is very affluent, so maybe in time they become a power. ALthough KCD never did, and they have been out that way for awhile.

I agree. Colleges get caught cheating, pros get caught cheating, but apparently X and T have figured out a way to do it and not get caught. Everyone has stories with no proof. This aint Beverly Hills folks, these are mostly middle class families at these schools. I can't wait till my daughters school (Mercy) starts winning stuff so we can be cheaters too!

Cause that one is set in stone, and has nicer weather. Everyone from around the country plans their vactions, and military leaves, etc to make it to that game. :dancingpa The playoffs isn't guaranteed....GAUARANTEED I said

the exceptions prove the rule.....

Yes, radio guys gave Meade fans huge props for their turnout tonight, and the enthusiasm as well. Good luck next year!

okay, done for the year looks stupid now that I see it in print, but that's what he said before the game. Done for the game maybe...

Glaser played him to see if he was favoring it. They'll check the video and if he was favoring at all, he's done for the year. He came into the game in the 2nd half.
