Yes we shall.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always a day away!

Where is the 13th region? What counties make up that region?

Good work. Glad to see Adam Berry get some recognition. Was a tremendous 2 gap plug on defense in the middle for the Rocks.

This thread is an off shoot from another thread that was talking about some inner program disagreements at Ryle. The open house is just for people connected to Ryle football. It is an opportunity for those at Ryle in the football program to get together in an open forum and ask questions about any aspect of how the program is run. It is to clear the air so to speak about anything people connected to the program are concerned about. It isn't open to the general public. Bylaw 10 has no application here from what I know about the purpose of the "open house".

Thanks. That explains it very well.

Doesn't Trinity and St. X have some kind of Open House for the 8th graders in Jefferson County?

Most Catholic schools in Louisville have schoolwide open houses on a Sunday afternoon in November for students in 5-8 grade. They are not football open houses.

Don't know about public schools.

Anxious to see how KHSAA applies bylaw 10 to this one if it is just a football open house.

So is this a football or school open house?

I guess the following feel that a 3rd teamer, from KY, must be pretty good:

 

Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, UNC, State, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tennessee

Need to add the Michigan Wolverines to that list. They offered this week.

Who's coaching the all state team? If they run a "smashmouth" offense, I'll go with the Rocks. If the offense is more wide open, I'll take the state.

Looking back on the victory, I noticed that Scott County had never trailed the entire season until the game against Trinity. No matter what level of competition, that is impressive.

Congrats to my Rocks! Wish I could have been there. Were the other 2 two teams to gain 600+ Trinity and Male in the 02' 59-56 game? That game was up and down the field.

Yes.

Great job Rocks. You are the best team in the state and nation! An UNBELIEVABLE accomplishment.

To promote discussion ... isn't that what we do here?

 

My primary point was the margins of victory were very similar to what happened in Kentucky last year.

If by primary you mean "first" then yes, that was your "first" point. You then followed it up with these points:

Four of the five state champions were private schools,.

and the lower three classes each had two private schools playing each other..

Seven of the 10 teams in the finals were private schools

The games were more competitive in 2010, but otherwise it was much the same story ... two all-private championship games,

four private-school champions and.

six of the 10 teams were private schools..

You don't have to be William Strunk to ascertain your "point(s)" in the post.

Quite an acoomplishment for the Birds. Even a greater accomplishment given the running clock rule.

Does anyone know when the mercy rule was adopted in Kentucky?

I know they got them in '85.

So that would be 13 and possibly 14:

1985

1988

1989

1990

1994

2001

2002

2003

2005

2006

2007

2008

2010

2011 (maybe)

Perceived. I think many X families and students are not that focused on football as they are playing many other fall sports and winning state titles. X's excellent other fall sports have lowered the talent pool for football. It really is unfair to blame the X football program for its decline given that the reason it has gone down is because of the school's other fall sports success.:sssh:

Exactly my point. Trinity parents are proud of football and X parents are not willing to stay only on football because of the choices. 2 different beliefs.

And my X friends and family wonder why they are viewed as elitists somtimes...

How did Boone keep it close?

Two of Trinity's opponents have advanced in their respective playoffs.

Indy Cathedral will play for the state championship this weekend, while the Bombers of St. X are in the semifinals. Cathedral blew out #3 Columbus East 62-7 and the Bombers took out Moeller 35-21.

While it was just a scrimmage, also pulling for the Birds to win 4A.

Hopefully they all take state.

Head in sand.... I made no mention X does not have non CSAA players.

Thanks for the concesion.

Now that we have that established, those kids took their placement test at St. Xavier in 2006. I guess X hasn't been as, what was the word you used, "conservative" as you opined. Well, at least not since 2006.

Not sure I follow you but if you think this is the rivalry of even 2 years ago you have your head in the sand. I made no judgment either way just stated facts that it is not the same. Many of the guys you played with would not see the field or the court if you want to talk basketball. What X decides to do is what I am asking. We will struggle to compete if we don't change something. I think you scoring stats prove that as well as provides another "dig".

 

Go Tigers

Take a look at X's roster and let me know where the running backs, linebackers and cornerbacks who played Friday went to grade school.

If possible look up these running backs from 2010:

Lamont McMurry

Brandon Moore

Arkez Joiner

Lemondray Clemons

Jeonta Hayden

Devontae Beach

Thanks in advance. Anxious to see what CSAA schools these guys played for.

Not to get too far ahead either, but they would run zone against Trinity.

Thanks. The first time they had to switch to zone coverage was 2 weeks ago?

Plus it was the first time all season they had to switch to zone coverage. They fixed everything in practice, had 4 interceptions against Eastern, and ran a fumble back for 6. Boone may get 1 TD.

Not to get too far ahead here, but are you saying Scott County runs man to man coverage?

Hats off to Trinity, they are loaded. I am not sure where this rivalry goes from here if Trinity continues to get the kids they are getting and X stays more conservative on and off the field. We are not playing the same game anymore. Beatty has always had better scheme but not always better players, now he has both. My Tigers will need to make changes if administration decides to elevate football to compete with Trinity or just be 2-3rd best team in state. Jury still out....

 

Either way, Go Tigers

What took you so long?
