I think we'll know early if the young Trinity squad can stay in the game. The biggest factor, and in my mind the only factor, will be if Trinity can run the football against X's 3-3-5 scheme. T has to be able to pick up yardage running the ball to win the game. Look for Wright to get some yards on the edge on sprintouts to keep the chains moving.

I think X's qb is down from year's past so T may be able to concentrate more on stopping the run without gambling too much in the secondary.

I know the Maryland team was good, but i didn't think X had the overall team speed they've had in the past. Trinity's speed is up so that may be an advantage for the Rocks.

Specht v. Coverdale part IV.

X is always going to have a great defense. To hold Louisville X to 74 yards is unheard of. Probably the lowest output in 30 years for St. X.

Specht does a great job with his scheme and the kids are sure tacklers. Is X a senior laden team?

Great win Rocks.

Many of the comments here regarding surprise (whether mock or not) that the game was close speak volumes about how far the program has come in Coach Beatty's tenure. When your program reaches the point that a win over a GCL and national powerhouse is questioned, your program is in a very good place.

Other than Trinity in 2002 and 2010, who was the last Kentucky team to beat Elder?

How has Trinity's new man defensive scheme been working? Has it been a cover 1 mainly or is it a man under cover 2 look?

You are forgetting about Highlands.

Ballard as well.

Congrats Hunter. It is always nice to have kids from winning programs go to Centre.

I still say Mr. Basketball winners need to atleast win one post season championship (district, region, or state) in their career. Sewell unfortunately has not won any. This hurts his chances as well as being from a large, private school. I think Rico and Elisha are now the front runners unless one of them don't get out of their regions. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Not everyone gets to open up regionals with 6-21 Prestonsburg...

So goes life in the 7th.

There's a lot of people and coaches who have been around for a time believe the same thing. However in saying that, the 7th in comparison to the state this year is loaded as always.

Ok, are there any great teams out there this year?

Yes, and I've been watching the 7th region for over 20 years. Trinity has a nice team, one of their best.

So you still believe "there is not one or two great teams in the (seventh) region?"

Without the vintage Ballard, Eastern, Jtown teams of the past, there is no one or two great teams in the region.

Huh? Have you watched the Seventh this year? Trinity isn't too shabby.

I really can't wrap my mind about how tough this region is...wow.

I didn't realize it either. Look at this: Moore, the 8th ranked team in the region, would be the FAVORITE to advance to the Sweet 16 in the following eight regions:

1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 16. :eek:

Of the 8 teams in the Region, here are the statewide rankings of 7 of them: 1,2,4,8,10,16 and 19, according to Litkenhous. It's a shame only one can get out, but that's the way it is.

Don't forget Seneca, who also was a top 10 team.

I guess this is why Highlands is Highlands, nothing too shabby, nothing too fancy, somewhere in between for a tiny little community of Blue collar workers.

When I think of blue collar workers, Fort Thomas is the first city that pops in my mind. :lol:

Offensive PI. Way too punitive.

Anyone know the date and location?

This is great news. I know Dale and Bob love to get a lot of reps during these scrimmages by keeping them up tempo. Even though it is just a scrimmage, playing against the #1 or 1A team in the state will help the baby Rocks and their new qb, whomever that may be.

Those schools, of course, being the elite of Ky HS FB. The much more voluminous list includes the ones where it does constitute it.

Of course. Fairly or unfairly, there are different standards and expectations for the elite of Kentucky high school football. Perhaps, that's why those schools remain elite.

Forde mentions the Hoops for Haiti Telethon in his "Forde Minutes" online.

Welcome back, Pat.

Thanks! As I suspected, it fit in with what would have been most schools' best-ever three-year run.

Just off the top off my head, these schools would not constitute that as a best ever run:

Male

St. X

HHS

BG

Cov Cath

Hopkinsville

Lex Cath

Breathitt

Central

Boyle

Rockcastle

Fort Campbell

Beechwood

New Cath

Danville

Mayfield

Pikeville

Belfry

OK, I'll bite. I would assume that folks associated with Trinity have a much different definition of that word that most other folks do, so please, can we get some details, such as records and playoff results?

1995: 1st round loss; 5-6

1996: Semi state loss; 11-2

1997: State runner up; 11-4

1998: Semi state loss; 9-5

Averages out to 9-4 every year.

Can someone send me the link of Pat Forde's article covering Cal's charitable actions?

Great job Rocks. Keep on fighting.

It will be shown in Louisville on channel 17.

Where does he go?

The UFL so he can perfect the fumblerooski.

He's out.
