Congrats to all the St.X faithful on a fine sports venue.

I'd say that having good coaching would increase the chances of a good athlete turning into a "superlative athlete". I'd be willing to bet that not many around Jefferson County saw Nick Petrino as an All-State two time MVP of the state final. Bob Beatty saw it, and made it happen. Ask yourself, would Nick have ever taken a snap had he enrolled at X? I don't think so, what say you?

Trinity is on a 14 game winning streak.

Is there an echo in here?:lol:

You might want to read the fine print in the paper. The fact is that 95% of the votes were cast prior to the final. So I guess winning state isn't the factor that you claim it is.

"most T faithful" ? Where do you get that? One post from someone that doesn't even claim to be a T fan. Talk about "reaching". Coach Wright is a fine man and a very good coach. I don't know of any Trinity football fan that has any negative feelings towards Kevin. I don't know what his situation in Tulsa was, but I'd be willing to bet he will be back coaching very soon if that is what he chooses to do. Just the facts.

I'm not saying its an "or" situation. I think the Big 3 (and other top programs) win with or without superior talent. The Big 3 are in the mix just about every year. When they have big time talent they are able to do special things i.e. Three-peats, fifty game winning streaks, etc. The coaching and the program equals wins. Special talent is the icing on the cake some years.:thumb:

Don't be so quick to discount coaching at the Big 3. I wonder how many of those kids that left as All-State, entered the program with that tag? I contend that a lot of the All-State talent at T, X and H isn't talent as much as the result of coaching and hard work. Just a thought. FYI, this isn't meant to say that no other schools work hard.

Why don't you have someone over at St.X make a copy for you.

This makes no sense. Newsflash, LexCath is viewed as the best team in Lexington year in and year out by the rest of the state. By refusing to play them the Lexington public schools look petty at best and like cowards at worst. I'd say whip LexCath for a few years, then venture out into the national scene. It makes no sense to have a team that is afraid of its own "little brother" take on take on the bully two states away.

I'd like to get RollRedRoll's take on Maryville. I've heard that they are a paper tiger. They don't have to play the big boys in 5A (Riverdale, etc.) and they won't play the private schools. If they are playing Hoover at Hoover I guess we will find out what they are made of.

What down was it?

Just once, I'd like to see one of these clips with different music.

I wonder why so few of these "great athletes" go on to play at the next level? I would also suggest that X and Male and a number of other school have similar if not better "pickings". I wish posters could talk up their own choice without commenting on the choice of others, its not a contest.

So you would include Highlands (Beechwood maybe?) in with the privates with your split plan? Your first post blamed the numbers, but now you cry about getting beat by Highlands and CovCath. Those schools are half the size of the NKY 4A schools. Please get your argument together and take it over to the public/private forum. Although you really seem to want to separate the successful programs from the unsuccessful programs.

:cry:

Does anyone have any idea what this means?

I think you would have a hard time making a case (based on facts) that any of those guys were better HIGH SCHOOL QBs than Petrino. Better college prospects? Sure. A QB has more impact on which team wins or loses than any other player. Trinity didn't win back to back titles despite Nick being the QB. They won in large part because he was the QB (note his MVP award in both title games). Unless I missed something no high school QBs in the state of Kentucky took any college snaps this season. So I'll stick with Petrino being the best QB in the state this season. I'll leave the speculation about about all of their futures to you. I'm a high school football fan first and foremost.:thumb:

There were a number of factors. The 4A game being played in the rain on Thursday night. The 4A game didn't have the marquee match-up in the final (how did 06 attendance compare with 04?). The frigid weather on Friday. In the defense of the KHSAA, most of these factors were out of their control.

Right back at ya. Its an opinion board, are you the arbiter of opinion now?

Sept. 14 at X. Its a home and home deal not a neutral field game. They were the "Blue Bombers" last time we played them. As far as the "redneck" comment goes, who cares what they think.

Not an argument at all. Just a statement of facts and opinion.

Brohm missed the game because of baseball.

Thats a luxury that Rock fans don't have. Since Nick was playing 15 games we didn't get a chance to see many other players. You have your opinion. But I'll go with the winner. Nick Petrino is a winner, plain and simple. I don't know if you can say that about Ammons.

I think Eastern's QB was better than either of those two. I think his name is Ferguson.
