Florida High is coached by Heisman trophy winner and 11(ish) year NBA vet, Charlie Ward.

Pretty cool that a man of his stature is coaching high school.

Good question. I recommend no one answer it.

It really wasn’t that difficult to answer.

A better question might be why do these kids choose to come to CovCath versus staying in the area in which they attended grade school? If memory serves me correctly, LaSalle and Moeller have had pretty good hoops teams over the years.

A valid question. The common sense speculative answer is that these young men and their families chose Covington Catholic because it offered the best combination of academics and athletics for their individual situation. If you want to put academics completely aside, then I’d assume it was based on factors such as: playing time potential , level of competition and collegiate exposure.

There’s also the possibility that some of these kids are at CCH because of positive word of mouth. CJ Fredrick probably would not have come to CCH, had his Uncle not been on the coaching staff. But, he came to CCH and thrived, parlaying his great high school career into a scholarship at Iowa. There is the possibility that families like the Fredrick’s share their positive experience with other families in their community. This likely also is a factor in some of these decisions.

I also believe that generally speaking, Cov Cath is cheaper than the traditional GCL powers in Cincinnati.

The black hat in Barry’s pic appears to be Doc Morris. Doc was also a baseball umpire and as many know, a large baseball tournament is played in his honor, annually.

Stop reading your press clippings and get to work. Not impressed.

Pleasantly surprised, a rare NKY based Mr.

Football. Congrats Mick!

How many NKY players have won? I know of Jacobs and Mayer. Lorenzen? Guidugli?

It is more like 66 seasons. Trinity's first senior class graduated in 1957. Probably the first year that they competed in varsity football was when they were juniors during the season of 1955 . So assuming all this is correct, 2019 was Trinity's 66th season.

Yes, sorry. Was counting from the first title in ‘68. So, from first title in ‘68, they’ve basically averaged a title every other year. If that’s correct, it’s completely ridiculous.

That’s an incredible record. Trinity has a monopoly on Kentucky High School football. The dominance is cartoonish.

24-23 in 1 Overtime. Mayfield went to tie it after they scored and Walker blocked it.

Thanks! Awesome game!

Amazing. The HC before was Lampley, correct? How does Beatty compare on titles & wins? If he has 14 titles, I’m guessing he’s well ahead of Lampley.

How long has he been HC at Trinity and how many titles does he have now? Where does he rank on all time coaching wins list vs previous Trinity coaches? Apologies if these questions were addressed earlier in this thread.

26 titles in roughly 52 seasons? Is that correct?

How do these compare to past years, in 6 class system?

I recall a Danville v Mayfield game - AA title in ‘87 @ the Louisville Fairgrounds. I believe a Freshman (David Walker?) blocked an extra point for Danville, to preserve a 14-13 win. Great game.

He is 3-0 in State Finals.

From an old Little Texas song:

“If I’ve learned anything, there’s a first time for everything.”

Go Belfry!

Go Pirates!

CCH hasn’t hosted a state semi final playoff game since 2001. And, as stated, those game were always on Saturdays, much to the chagrin of my great buddy, Dudley Hilton.

CCH needs to adjust and stop stooping to the level of garbage being displayed by Conner. Run it up and run em out. Clean it up.

What a joke.

Bury this team.

If it’s not already in the thread - Somerset Briar Jumpers is my all time favorite.

Well if/when you're interested, I have a list of all-time game results for Covington Catholic with the exception of two games: 1980 Cov Cath vs. Simon Kenton and 1989 Cov Cath vs. Dixie Heights. The 1980 game was postponed from a Saturday afternoon game to Sunday because of weather, and the 1989 game was a Saturday game as well, so they didn't get any coverage in the newspapers.

The 1989 game vs Dixie was a Friday Night at Dixie. CCH won 10-7 in OT. I don’t recall who had the ball first in OT, but Steve Schulte kicked the game winning field goal. Justin Kruer intercepted Matt Bloemer’s pass attempt in the end zone for CCH, but I don’t recall if that was for the win, or to give CCH possession and ultimately, Schulte’s field goal.

They played on a Saturday in 1988, also a 10-7 win in Park Hills for CCH. Kevin Butler kicked a very late field goal to win in regulation.

The JV Colonels finish the season with an 8-1 record, including a win over Male and a one score loss to LaSalle (OH). The young Colonels won all of their district games by at least 14 points.

Wow! Congrats to Holmes!

An interesting score for Cov Cath followers. LaSalle still has Elder to play for the GCL title.

Elder has to be a heavy favorite.
