Thankfully we didn't have the room for a track, which puts the fans in the stands much closer to the action on the field...

At the JV game Monday night there were a number of Rock fans decked out in black & occupying a sizeable chunk of the eastern end of the home side of the stadium...:ylsuper:

This Saturday, 10/03, 6pm

Amen, Brother!:ylsuper:

Yes.

I'm sure some are dismissed from the team, or leave on their own, & go elsewhere to play. Those that stay have won their last game 7 out of the last 9 years...

I was there &, while not at all impressed w/ Price Hill, I was blown away by the atmosphere surrounding an Elder home game. It was w/o question the best H.S. football atmosphere I've been in, truly a first class event, & the home fans were very gracious hosts. My complaint w/ the neighborhood was it's lack of bars & restaurants in walking distance to the stadium. I saw one bar & it had a Members Only sign on it...

This woodshed must shut down sometime in mid-October!:ylsuper:

Why's that?

I was at both of those games & they were knock down, drag out affairs for sure. Damon Hood looked like a man amoung boys, luckily my Rocks were up to the challenge both times!

Does that mean no metal bats allowed?

I've been wanting them to do this for years, make a sunday in oct a bye week for the csaa & have the T-X game in the tradition of the old Flaget - X series...:dancingpa

I was assuming he meant 15-20th nationally...

Well said, it seems you guys have every other base covered. Any definitive word yet on the varsity staff resignations alluded to in the frosh thread?

I think kids at T and X get used to and accept secondary roles. Is that really applying oneself, or selling oneself short? Maybe it's fulfilling a life-long dream of wearing the uniform & contributing in any way you can to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Some on here get it but many of you that didn't grow up in Louisville (& even some who did) will simply never understand...:ylsuper:

I hate to speculate but when I read these comments I took them as a slam at the folks that constantly point out Duece's state of residency, not at Duece himself. If I'm mistaken & they were aimed at Duece & this most deserving award then shame on you THSRock. As a proud Trinity graduate & fan you certainly don't represent my view. As for Tim Phillips he would have been a very deserving recipient as well but him not winning it was certainly no travesty in light of who did. The travesty there was that he wasn't even a finalist for the award... With that said, GO ROCKS!!!!!:ylsuper:

I would love to see more parity in KY high school football but the proper way to achieve that isn't to hamstring or punish the programs that are doing things the right way & succeeding. The proper path to take is to create an environment that encourages the under-achieving programs to improve. :thumb:

Jefferson County Public Schools do have open enrollment so students pretty much can attend the school of their choice...

Why should the finals be played as close to Lexington as possible?

I was thinking the same thing last night while I was watching the game. I'd say they'd hold their own v. most of 6A JCPS but not having seen much from teams in other classes out in the state it'd be hard for me to judge...

Of course you can never dismiss the size factor. I was simply taking issue w/ your wording in that people are claiming that Trinity & Trinity alone possesses the work ethic, tradition, & coaching necessary to win championships. While Trinity most certainly does possess these traits so do St. X, Highlands, Danville, Beechwood, etc. (just to name a few) Ohio h.s. football is awesome but like any entity that has enjoyed some success they have their fair share of obnoxious fans. I'm very happy that my team from little 'ole KY was able to serve up a little humble pie! :

I'm not aware of any Trinity partisan that has ever declared their team to be the only school w/ these traits, only that they do possess them. Many teams do, I'm sure, but few have enjoyed the same level of success as the Rocks. And while I agree that if Trinity played in Ohio they more than likely wouldn't have 18 trophies in the case, I do feel that they would have won their share. Congrats on the big win, Rocks!!!:thumb:
