Trinity alum

Back after a great weekend. The second half of this game is why you play such a tough schedule. In the first half I thought the Trinity offense was hesitating for just an instant. That hesitation was just enough against a team as good as Moeller. Late in the first half the tempo started to pick up and it spread throughout the team. First the coaches started to call the plays faster, the team went with a faster tempo and the decision making followed. Also, the receivers started doing a much better job sustaining their blocks. On defense, I thought that the dbs tightened the coverage in the second half. Neither team ran the ball well the entire game. The tighter coverage made a huge difference. If they had been playing a lesser team, there would have been no reason to fix those things. It was a very enjoyable game.

Voting is now closed. Congratulations Luke, National Player of the Week.

The X team I saw was SLOW. Those linemen are huge and I'll admit that I was concerned in the second quarter that they would start to pound down the much smaller Trinity kids. It didn't work out that way. I guess you can't pound what you can't catch.

I can't fault them for the decision. If there is any lightening on Friday games would have to be postponed into a holiday weekend. Also, rain on Friday would reduce gate.

Just had a chance to watch the highlight video. Serious size and speed from WC, but there were also some missed tackles. That will have to get better.

As much as I like calling the X-men worms, but given the stripes, wouldn't it be better to ask if the caterpillar has turned? That said, the answer is no. The freshmen from X looked huge last night but the were unable to use their size advantage. Trinity was much faster. Those thin, athletic linemen for Trinity will get bigger and stronger and they will still be athletic.

37-7 final

34-7 .end of 3

20-7 T at half. Size vs speed and so far, speed is winning.

and we thank you for your input.

Actually, after a very long delay, they did play the fourth quartet. 40-14 final

Don't feel too bad. I haven't seen anybody handle him in practice either.

I was only at the freshman part and it is hard to tell much so far. The freshman portion of the scrimmage was a serious physical mismatch. Ryle didn't have anyone to cope with Trinity's speed. The complexity of Trinity's formations and schemes also seemed to bother them. They will learn a lot more as time goes on. As Trinity substituted and the physical mismatch lessened, Ryle was faced with tired players facing eager and fresh players. We'll know a lot more after the next couple of weeks.

Thanks, that helps

Where is the Ryle practice field? I'll have one passenger in a wheel chair and would like to be able to park close by.

I'm guessing that those that know aren't saying, and those that are saying don't know. I don't think any of us will be sure until they make the announcement. In the past, the Trinity administration has been against trips that would cause the kids to miss school. If they can't get a game, I suppose they might have to reconsider.

Big difference was that Trinity absolutely refused to let the X inside guys push them around. Without being able to push people around X didn't have anything else. Kiesler would try to back people down for easy shots. Last night the defense didn't move so he had to either pass back out or take a bad shot.

It was more than fair. You couldn't drive into the lane against X without being fouled. Watching X play basketball is like watching paint dry. I think it gave them their best chance to win, but oh my it is bad to watch. They are a very good rebounding team. They need to either hope they can alter shots to create a lot of rebound opportunities, or hope that the other team will miss their free throws. Trinity was too much for X to alter the shots without fouling. Trinity was also good at the line. Thus the outcome.

same problem

If you include 1976 to2016 it is 41 years. Still more than half. I think Trinity has made around 25 in that span.

Actually it looks like a textbook heads up tackle. I have finally had a chance to watch the broadcast. I think the officials made a tough situation worse with some really bad calls. But regardless of who you think started it, never retaliate.

Anyone that remembers Flaget knows that it wasn't an everybody gets a trophy kind of place.

St Gabriel grade school in Louisville, if memory serves.

And we thank you for your input.

There is never a lot of point in discussing who started it. I'll just say that I am not happy with the way our kids handled it. With all of the talk of bad actions, let me point out a good one. After the game, Spencer Blackburn went over to speak to Wood. Nice job.
