I believe this line of thought supports Trinity's lack of enthusiasm for participating in the recent past. The Ryle Sports Festival was an awesome event with Cincy X, Elder, Trinity, MBA or BA one year, etc. Triple header with competitive games.....modest payout for the teams....reasonable ticket price....I always wondered why the Rocks opted out and now I have my answer.

Was 1994 Trinity the best Shamrock team ever?
nochristmastree replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
I agree. I know one staffer who thinks the 1988 squad was the best. I know another former coach who feels the 1976 team would give the Beatty teams fits defensively. They were a nasty bunch. I am happy to see the success continue. -
The Marist Redhawks have a road game at the Moline Sr High Maroons on October 25. Cheaper to travel a lot closer to home and pay the buyout than to come to Louisville. It was always a one and done deal. Marist has their 2014 schedule set and published online at their website. The headache of scheduling games for Trinity now falls on the shoulders of Rob Saxton, the AD in waiting. He takes over for Dennis Lampley next June according to the school president. Read all about it on the front page at trinityrocks.com.

I have been told by a Male staffer that this year's freshmen group will not come close to last year's squad. The rules for staying at Male are somewhat tougher than other JCPS members, and this has hurt them in the past. I still feel Manual has a ton of talent. Their QB is the real deal. The kids have to buy in to the program. I am hoping the Bruins rattle some cages early this season.

They apply for admission like anyone else. They are then able to apply for financial aid . Trinity awarded $2,500,000.00 in "need based" tuition aid for this coming year. The alumni, friends, and the wise investors Trinity has on hand help make this tremendous gift possible. The funds are divided up by a third party clearing house in Cleveland that simply analyzes tax returns and other finacial factors and arrives at an amount compared to all other applicants. The funds alotted to students who have chosen not to attend Trinity this fall are now being split up among those who have recently applied for financial assistance. As it has been stated on here before, there is no 50% cap mandated by the KHSAA.

I find it interesting that the three public schools you mention above are each independent school districts. They have options of accepting students from outside thier "boundaries". The larger publci County schools have had no where near the success of these smaller "city" schools. In Trnity's case, bigger is better and the administartion makes it work. As the local public schools have chosen limit their enrollments, Trinity has grown through the years. I use the huge public schools in Indiana as a prime example of how big works. In Ohio, they suggested to Colerain to split into two schools. Those folks declined.

I am not sure what facts you are basing this on. I do not believe Trinity will rest on their laurels this season. We will know if things have changed on October 4. Scott County will be their usual selves. I am hoping Ballard makes some noise. I do not see PRP as a factor in 2013. That is a great list. I am unaware of any heavy super stud running backs in 6A. That is usually the type of player that gives Trinity a tough time.

Trinity has open dates week 4 and week 9. Boyle County, Simon Kenton, Christian County, and Bowling Green list corresponding open dates for 2013 and 2014. North Bullitt has week 4 and 9 open for 2013 only. Chicago Marist recently opted out of playing the Rocks according to a prominent alumnus. If the listings are correct, hopefully someone in the Commonwealth will accept the challenge.:thumb:

The whole point of this thread was to sir up some reactions. It was getting a little boring around here. I'd say it worked. -
