TH58

Yep. All this Trinity class needs is a QB. Strong class.

CAL has a nice program. Best to them as they move up to 4A next year. Trinity is working to try and earn a 31st state championship and keep on doing its thing.

Did CAL move up to 6A? Trinity has not played down in Class in at least the past 10 years.

If the Tigers drop this game, Coach Landis should immediately return to Georgia and begin looking for new work.

And this just in from Jason Frakes and the CJ……Trinity has outscored its three Kentucky opponents this season (Male, St. Xavier and Ballard) by a combined 151-0.

You mean the Trinity offense that has helped produce a Top 25 national ranking in multiple polls, a 7-1 record against the toughest schedule in the KHSAA and 20 TDs vs 2 interceptions. If I was Coach Cobb I might be pretty pleased with my current offense, my current defense and my current special teams.

Come on out to Middletown and support these players and coaches in person. High school football…..Friday Night Lights.

Move to either 4 or 5 classes Move to either 6 or 8 school Districts Bottom 2 teams in each District do NOT advance to playoffs Add a promotion and relegation process within the 4 or 5 classes Develop a way for 2 schools to unite and form 1 varsity football roster (ie, Western and Shawnee in Louisville) Utilize an RPI ranking system that 10 guys hanging out on the fence on a Friday football night can understand and agree it passes the “common sense” test Those things would make the KHSAA football landscape light years better.

Give me the Colonels. Even with their suspended players back, Ballard seems to be in disarray this season.

This week…49 in Kentucky. 22 in the country by USA Today. 25 in the country by MaxPreps.

They need to also drop to 8 minute quarters in addition to the continuous running clock.

My issue with KHSAA RPI has nothing to do with how it does or does not impact state championship wins. And you are correct in that Trinity (in any sport) does not schedule opponents in order to “play the RPI game”. My issue is 2-fold: Any statistical/objective ranking system that in the past year ranked Assumption Volleyball 7th in the state while they were considered Top 10 in the country, or that ranked Trinity Baseball 2 nd in the state when they were considered #1 in the country, or that currently ranks Trinity Football 49th in the state when they are considered Top 30 in the country, or that gives a 6A football team less credit for beating Archbishop Moeller than it does for beating PRP, is simply a flawed and comical ranking system. And while that flawed and comical ranking system has no post season bearing (not yet anyway) in any KHSAA sport other than football, it does indeed have post season bearing on seeding and home game hosting in football playoffs rounds 3 and 4. Not the end of the world but at least let’s call a spade a spade.

The KHSAA has abdicated any REAL/PROACTIVE leadership related to high school football in Kentucky. A complete joke in how RPI is determined and utilized in the playoffs Too many classes Districts that are too small in number of teams No thought leadership in how to enable schools that consistently roster 20+ varsity players to combine with another like school No thought leadership in how to reduce the number of teams making the playoffs, shorten the season for everyone and enable schools that finish the season 2-8, 1-9 or 0-10 to have a different option than first round playoffs vs a #1 seed where they might travel 2, 3 or 4 hours to get best 65-0.

The Shamrocks check in this week at #49 in the state according to the KHSAA RPI. Unfortunately for the Rocks, big wins vs Anderson (OH), CBC (MO), Moeller (OH), Cincy St. X and a 7 point loss to Baylor (TN) the #8 team in the USA, cannot propel Trinity past Kentucky football powers such as Dayton, North Oldham, Russell and McCracken County. Well done KHSAA. A Cracker Jack ranking system that impacts playoff seeding and home football games in Rounds 3 and 4.
