I dont see this game being a blowout, either way. I think the Rocks have all the answers though, and they will win this in a shootout... Rocks 42 HC 31

Rocks roll 49-21

Does anyone see Bobby Redman FINALLY changing his defense, will this be the straws of many straws to break the camels back? He has to realize that his defense scheme is the problem....how many times can you score 47 points an lose? Male does it often

Boone County's ball control and power running game against Trinity's high octane, fast paced offense. Boone will try to win the time of possesion, but guess what, Trinity has never won the time of possesion in any game, and it wont matter in this one. Rocks 49 Boone 14

What did JH do to win this game? Did they throw the ball around, or run?

Hey birdsfan, Im putting stats up live from the game, so you can get an update there heres the link http://www.trinityrocks.com/live/football/xlive.htm the stats will be updated every 20 seconds, starting at 7:15 or so.

X will win..the reason, they are bigger and stronger than manual is faster. I think the Crimsons CAN pull off the upset, but I dont think they will.

I haven't seen him on the list, but Nick Petrion HAS to be considered...all hes done this year is throw 136 of 225 for 2415 yards and 24 tds and only 1 int...those are exceptional numbers

Ryle was another big one, but henderson takes the cake

Looking forward to seeing Male vs St.X II

from what I hear...they will be playing

I highly respect Manual, I think they are a great program, however, I dont think they have much of a shot on friday. St.X is healthy, and they are the best team in the state... X 28 M 7

Rain wont matter like it did in the first game, the turf at Trinity can handle rain. Trinity ran all over fern creek in the last matchup...this time, the will throw all over them. Rocks 49 Creek 14

If only that were true. Because of the numbers difference, Trinty plays very few both ways. The smaller 4A schools have to play many more both ways and their # 2's are much weaker - also because of the #'s. If you really think it is 11 on 11, then you don't know much about 4A football. [/b] Now I dont know anything about 4-A football. Well answer this then....why did Trinity win state in 2001 with 3 people playing both ways...and finish runner up in 2000 with 6 people playing both ways... I agree with what a poster said earlier.... QUIT COMPLAINING AND JUST GET BETTER

Well...Bob Dole says that if Bob Dole has an opinon on something and it offends other people, then Bob Dole says the TRUTH hurts. Its such a shame that people on here say that numbers are an advantage....FOR WHAT?, Bob Dole asks. Im sure when Bear Bryant went 8-0 all those years with 40 players on his team that it was because he had NUMBERS to choose from. So let Bob Dole finish his arguement with this, ITS STILL 11 on 11...NOT 150 on 50

Im gonna flip the whole thing on TheMan...if anyone is at a DISADVANTAGE...its private schools. Reason is simple. Im not sure of the number...but it is around $6000 a year to attend either Trinity or X. So when you are a solid athlete with a chance to go to college...sure..you'd want to go to Trinity or X...but you cannot afford it...so where do ya go...Male...Manual...Ballard..Eastern. I mean...lets not forget..the last time a private school athlete won Mr. Football was I believe...1988....heck...Male has had 2 of the last 3. The fact is that MORE college athletic scholarships are given to public school athletes....with a very few being given to private school athletes. There is a considerable difference between the high profile athletes in public and private schools. Now....with that being said, where is the advantage. The fact is simple...Trinity and St.X are founded on TEAM ball...De La Salle is the same way, a private school...strong tradition...very few stand out athletes....but a strong team like atmosphere. So END the rubbish of the "numbers" advantage...because they have to PAY to go to Trinity...that puts trinity at a DISADVANTAGE.

I have a huge block of cheese for all of the whiners here who say numbers matter....I want to make something VERY clear....NUMBERS DO NOT MATTER....believe it or not....its still 11 on 11...no matter how you shape it...I repeat...the game of football is 11 on 11.... 11 on 11 When Trinity won thier first state title...they had only 300 or so in the school...so was it the numbers then???? Trinity wins because they EXPECT to win...its tradition...Im sick of the numbers scenario being everyones excuse....and it is just that...AN EXCUSE!!!!

Im suprised nobody has mentioned male's stadium. It was built recently..and is VERY nice..Manual is the best...I dont think you can argue there....I remember as a child that Trinity played some of its bigger games there...back when Ballard was strong..in the 80's...they used to hold it there because of the size of the crowd. Man..that stadium has history
