Sam Young is a good kid. His dad & I went to Trinity together...I hate that we have to play them....I except this one to be more difficult than you would think. OC has some moxie.

We'll end the season ranked, but not like we could have been.

I'm still bitter about our poor showing at Male. This was a shot at a special season, and we messed the bed. Vanilla play calling, and giving up too much on predictable plays. Well, we'll see them again, but the pressure sure is on now.

Lol...

We were not ready for Tendai that night.....uggh...

21-7... I played in that game. One of the best games that I ever played.

I was a backyard football kid. Never really even knowing that there was an opportunity for me to play it in an organized manner. Well, in fifth grade, my mother signed me up to play at St. Margaret Mary, and the rest was history. Of course, I had to learn so much, like a 3 point stance, how to tackle, when to stay home on defense, the holes on offense, etc. Things you don't even really think about at this stage. I had a decent maturation that lead me to play at Trinity, and then at WKU. Football is a massive part of my life. I coached at Trinity for four years post college, and I thought that it would be my vocation for the rest of my life. Well, life happened, and it lead me to other things. I'll say this, this website has made me lifelong friends with numerous people that I would never ever have met. The common denominator is a love for HS football. Of course we all have other passions. But the one thing, that always calls me back (other than TheGuru), is my love for our fellowship and banter we have here. That said, Go Rocks, Trinity Forever!

OK. I've sat by the wayside long enough. This game concerns me. I actually wish it was at Trinity or a neutral site. I feel we have some bad juju at LMHS. Of course we've won some biggies there. However, I feel homefield advantage is a real thing in this rivalry. Chris Wolfe is the real deal when it comes to coaching prowess. Given the intangibles, I feel we are a more solid team top to bottom. Male has some seriously talented skill position players. I take solace in that I feel their OLine play leaves something to be desired. This is such a difficult game to predict. Coaching is pretty equal. Talent is pretty equal. I think that both teams are rather healthy. I'll go ahead, and pick with the heart. Trinity - 31 Male - 20 I know that Trinity has a massive chip on their shoulder. If they can play within themselves, they should win. There is so very much on the line. This is a must see.

I'll go on record, if this game is close, that is a concern for the Xaverian fanbase. This should be a commanding win, if they feel they are title contenders.

I don't know what the future holds. But it feels similar to years of recent past. Mark Twain says it best, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes". That's what I feel about the remainder of this season. Obviously, this is predicated on Trinity and Male staying healthy. We shall see. To use an often worn out saying, that's why they play the games.

Trinity was down numerous skill players last year. You are right about one thing. They still should have won the title. Leadership, in the end, sealed their fate. That has been rectified this season.

Tigers will roll. This is a great opportunity for a bounce back. I feel this game will speak volumes in their mettle.

Let me say this. I have seen CAL play multiple times this year. While you can't argue with their success, they aren't a very solid team at this point. That doesn't mean that they won't bring home the hardware. I feel that Hunter is learning on the go. They have the horses to be special, I am just concerned when they really get punched in the mouth, that could expose some issues.

Are the Xaverians implementing juniors, now, with Wallace at the healm? I ask, because I have always felt that this has gone a long way in developing some kids, for quality varsity time as seniors.

Agree with that. Last year was a calamity of errors for my boys, but that recharged these boys. I was told there was horrific leadership on that team. We all know that will kill a season. Much like '04 for us, and our loss to Dixie Heights. This team is super hungry, and they have a massive chip on their shoulder. That, by itself, doesn't mean a thing. However, combine athleticism with it, some luck, and health, and now we're talking about a dangerous team. Our game with Male will be so telling. Feels good to be back.

I see not much has changed, ranking wise, in my hiatus... What up all?

We should attach a poll to this. I would love to see who supports this.

If this game were at CAL, I would feel comfortable choosing them. DeSales is a hostile environment, and it will be electric. If both teams are at full strength, I say DeSales wins 26-24 ish. If DeSales QB doesn't play, I'll go with CAL, and Milton Wright having a monster game.

I am excited about this match up. Turkey Day practice is on the line. That's a big big deal to us. Bob's teams thrive at this time of year. I am excited that this game is at home. No matter who the opponent, when it's playoff time I get very very nervous. I've seen some crazy results in my day. I feel if both teams play their best, we are superior. Good luck to both, and let's pray all come out healthy. #trinityforever

Just to be clear, Morehead State is non-scholarship, their entire conference is.

I hope not...lol

What he said.

If we win out, he'd have to average a little over 9.5 receptions a game. I'd say there's a good chance.

Kids can go to any school they want in the county, public or private....as it should be. You don't OWN a kid simply by where his parents choose to reside.

Knowing a lot of kids in CAL's program, you could see this coming. They are super young. The bulk of this team'/ talent are sophomores. Clearly they are coached well. 'Y biggest concern for them, next week, is getting caught up in the moment, and not just going out there to play.
