Trinity alum

Or it could be that someone was looking for an excuse to cancel. If they really wanted to play they could have moved the game to Trinity.

Will the game be on the radio?

At this point, Male is an obvious favorite. I never count Trinity out, especially this year when they should make it to the 4th round. From there, who knows.

Everybody gotta do what they do best.

What the X people are really doing is trying anything they can think of to puff up their second win in ten seasons and find something wrong with the way Trinity does things. The helmets say Pride, Loyalty, Discipline, Achievement. They don’t get them as freshmen until the team has shown all four on the field and in the classroom. If the coaches feel they are falling short, I’ll trust their judgment. They have earned it over many years. You are right, character is revealed through adversity. Apparently the adversity of ten years of losing reveals character when there is finally some success. You should enjoy the win instead of trying to find fault with the most successful coaching staff in the history of Kentucky high school football. They have been successful on the field and in developing men of faith and men of character.

I have many friends that are X grads. I’ve even had some that worked for me. They do seem to have an uncanny ability to turn a second win in TEN seasons into proof that their way was the best all along. Congratulations on the win. The better team last night won. As to the game, as ugly as the offense was last night, it also wasn’t that far from being very good. Receivers were open (albeit not for long). The young QB just needs to make faster decisions. The running game will be fine when the passing game improves. If you make them pay for putting that much pressure on the QB, the pressure will diminish. I am not giving up on this team. I don’t see a tight game until the state semifinals. By that point, expect the offense to be much more efficient.

One down, two to go.

This is the hardest one to call in years. I wish Trinity had a few more games to work out the timing on offense and in the secondary. That said, I still think Trinity pulls this one out.

More than they can chew? No, but it is taking a little more mastication than usual. In a good year Trinity can play with anyone in the country. In a down year, Trinity can play with anyone in Kentucky. The goal is the same as every other year. Enter the playoffs playing your best ball of the year and keep getting better until the first weekend in December.

Per Twitter it was 26-25. Rocks down 25-10 in 4th. Big win.

Not off course, it’s just that the road is a little longer than we are used to. Maybe it isn’t that the road is longer. Maybe we just aren’t quite as far down the road as we usually are at this point in the season. Coach Lampley said that every team had to build its own road to the championship. Trinity has the finest road builders anywhere. I trust them to get it right.

The monster may be a bit wounded this year, but that just serves to focus the mind. I won’t close the book on this year until the clock reads 0:00 in the last game.

Boy am I glad that there is no way anyone is going to listen to you. The Hall of Fame coach and his staff will be just fine. You have been predicting the imminent demise of Trinity football for as long as I can remember. You finally get a game right and now think you know more than the coaches. Pshaw!

Any injury updates?

Surprise! Surprise!

That is not exactly what he said. If you saw the game you know that the seniors provided great leadership. In fact, some of the performance deterioration late was after three senior leaders went down. I know that you like to run the Trinity players and coaches down, but this group will be fine. There was no quit in that team last night. They will get better as the younger kids gain experience, but this will be a senior led team.

I didn’t post on the game last night because I was so mad about some of the comments on here that I would have said something stupid about some of the posters. Let me tell you what I saw. I saw two very good football teams that left every ounce of skill and effort they had on the field. Regarding the 3rd down call, it cost them 40 seconds, but a first down would have sealed the game. The play they called was open but the execution was off. Late in the season if that situation happens again the execution will be there. It was a call that showed confidence in the players. Essential for the long term. I remember a CJ article from 2003. It was a very similar situation. Late in the game, Trinity lead X by 3 with the state title on the line. Third down. The reporter was standing near Jeff Brohm. Jeff kept repeating “throw it”. Brian Brohm threw for the first down and iced the game. Same situation, different result. Trust the kids. Trust the coaches. The effort I saw last night will win a lot of games.

Long way to go.

One of the things you learn from sports is that life isn't always fair. The KHSAA had a tough call and made it. There was no good answer. I didn't like it, but it was what it was. I noticed that this year they reworked the schedule so that they would have had more time if the weather had intervened. As much as I would have liked the championship (if it had happened), whining to a judge was not the answer.

There are high school teams that would beat the women. After all, LeBron was a high school player once. For most of the boys teams I'm thinking Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

If you saw the game and have any empathy at all you would never say anything like that. The kids from both teams played hard the whole way. As far as the players that aren't on the team, I don't think that has any relevance. They aren't on the team. One has a very bright future in football. If he saw it to his benefit to concentrate on football, so be it. I don't see the other young mans decision to transfer as any different that any other transfer. I don't want the coaches to make their decisions based on keeping the kid from transferring. The coaches make the decisions about who plays. I liked this years team, with or without others who chose not to be part of it.

Pour it on.

Rob Saxton may agree with you, but as a fan I am sure he will come up with games that are much better than J-town and Seneca.

I am very happy you understand. Kidding aside, I expect Coach Wallace to have more success against Trinity than the other coaches have had in the past few years. Trinity has held the top spot in big school football for 50 years. I don’t expect that to change. Coach Wallace played has played Trinity close during his time at BG. I look for that to continue.

Coach Wright would be an interesting choice. A great coach, but I can think of six jobs he’s held since leaving Trinity after one year.
