I am surprised no one has mentioned Victor Anderson. He will take over the QB position for X next year. I see them running a two QB system, sliding him over to RB every couple of series. No one in the State will come close to having the game changing effect that Vic will have at QB. He has one heck of an arm and everyone already knows he can take any snap the length of the field if the D is not paying attention.

Well Said...

I agree that this game should be a little closer, but you are wrong about the X Secondary. They are Very Good, one of the better groups X has had in several years.

This is how Trinity can keep it close. They need to Listen to 02Ram54 & Clubberlang, they know what they are talking about.

I know Trinity has improved tremendously since the end of September, but don’t forget how one sided that game was. That X / T game was just about as one sided as the Trinity win over BC. Trinity got most of their yardage and all of their points against the 2nd & 3rd team D. That score could have easily been 60 to 0 if the starters stayed in the game. I agree that it will be a great rematch but I would think the Tigers will be at least a 10 point favorite. You don’t make up 40+ points with the return of one or two injured players. It should be another classic on Friday.

Are you serious? I know Trinity has improved tremendously since the end of September, but don’t forget how one sided that game was. That X / T game was just about as one sided as the Trinity win tonight over BC. Trinity got most of their yardage and all of their points against the 2nd & 3rd team D. That score could have easily been 60 to 0 if the starters stayed in the game. I agree that it will be a great rematch but I would think the Tigers will be at least a 10 point favorite. You don’t make up 40+ points with the return of one or two injured players. It should be another classic in two weeks. Good luck against HC, I think they might be better than some think.

This atmosphere reminds me of the X / Nelson County game in 1997. Small Field with only a fraction of the seating needed to accommodate the crowd, two great football teams in fact the same two coaches. That night X traveled with @ 4,000 faithful to Bardstown and it turned out to be one of the best High School games I have ever seen. There is something to say about atmosphere, even if the X fans are a little inconvenienced with the seating, you can’t put a price on the atmosphere created with a road trip to a small, somewhat rural setting. It’s what the High School Football Playoffs are all about. I am talking about the fans; the logistical nightmares for a traveling Team is another story all together.

Regional Titles shouldn’t be an issue, John Hardin is only a couple of years old. In fact, no John Hardin Alum was alive in 1975.

How else can you explain Manual time and time again having the more talented team, having the lead late in the second half, having dominated the game statistically in almost every category, and losing. Over the last several years it seems that the coaching staff deviates from a game plan that has been working all game long. It is as if they get impatient. Just look at the Trinity game the last two years or the Male game, it seems to happen often. There are obviously things that the staff does well, but I wouldn’t call finishing a game one of them.

What Tradition? What Excellence? Don’t forget you are in an Athletic form. Manual has always had solid athletic programs, but how many State Championships? How many wins against the Big 3?
