Way to go DJ as well. I enjoyed coaching you as a Bearcat in grade school. You're a great kid and hope you end up at UofL. Coach W.

Congratulations to all of the student athletes that made this years team. Good luck following your dreams. However upon further review, I was surprised that Tim Phillips did not make 1st or 2nd team. The kid is a National Power Lifting Champion, 3 year starter, all time Trinity rushing leader, competing for his 3rd straight State Championship as a starter and will sign a D1 scholarship with Central Michigan. I know I am new to this board but what am I missing here?:confused:

Park1221, You are correct in saying the kids at T & X put in a whole off season in the weight room and regular season just to get ready to play each other twice a year. My son plays for T and he tells me it's tough getting fired up to play the majority of teams on their schedule other than Cincinnati teams and X. Lexington schools have already informed T they will not play them anymore unless forced to in the playoffs. Getting games with out of state teams is difficult as well, because they want you to play at their field first. Next season, T plays Cincy X at their place and was scheduled to have Elder at home. Elder tried to move the game to their place and when T didn't want to travel to a second game in Cincy because they needed another home game, Elder cancelled. It's very difficult to get home games with quality teams from out of state. Here locally, there are some excellent coaches at Manual, Male, Ballard, Eastern to name a few. All four of these teams are starting to develop a tradition of consistent winners. If I was running these four schools, I would play T & X on the freshman and JV level as well. You have to play the best at every level of High School football to be the best by the time you play Varsity ball. Trinity uses it's JV team to get some of their projected starters for the next season game experience. Cameron Smyth started every JV game last year at QB. The majority of Trinity's starting defense on JV this season will step up and start Varsity next season. That's how they get better. It used to not be this wide a gap in talent. It's up to the Public Schools to make the commitment.

Sorry if I get off topic but I can't speak about NKY teams because we don't see them regularly in Louisville. When we do, they don't fair well with the exception of SK last weekend. What has dissapointed me this past season is the extreme drop off of Lexington schools. Tates Creek and Dunbar have wonderful facilities and a large enough enrollment to compete but they don't. Now, none of the Lexington Schools will schedule a regular season game with Trinity. They've decided to take their ball and go home. What's up with that?

Trinity will be practicing on Friday after school and knowing Coach Beatty, I fully expect they will have another walk through on Saturday morning just to get them up and moving for the long wait that day. They will be very prepared for whatever SK can throw at them Saturday night.

Rocks will continue to roll and capture 19. SK will be held to a field goal through three quarters and score a touchdown in the 4th against Trinity's backups. we will WE WILL ROCK YOU!!!!!:thumb:

Congrats to the Rocks. Being back around the program these past couple of years, I am amazed at what these kids go through year round to keep the streak (State Titles) alive. To the St.X players that finished their careers without a State title, you can walk away with pride knowing you left everything on the field.
