Congrats to Butler! Way to fight back and represent Louisville. Also, thanks for saving us the drive to Henderson County. See you next Friday!

Keep drinking the Glaser cool-aid! Next week will be another beat down for the ROCKS!

I tried to find Alabama. You must have been sitting on your bama cushion. Maybe I will catch up with you in the playoffs! The game went pretty much the way I thought it would. I was very surprised to see how one dimensional Male's offense was. I guess they are limited because of the youth on this years team. Male will be back! We need them for Kentucky football. GO ROCKS! #21

No knee pads in pants! Lineman have to have knee pads. Receivers are the only position which don't require knee pads.

BAMA! I will be at the game with a family member (wife is staying home for this one) and meeting up with some of my Male Bulldog friends. Would really like to hook up with you. I'll look for a Bama seat cushion...

Trinity JV wins 42-21. It was a slow start for the ROCKS! Sophomore QB, Reggie Bonnafon went out early in the second quarter when he was hit throwing the football. He went to the hospital... not sure what the injury was. The Rocks went to Blake Boughey at QB and he did a fine job running the offense. He then got hurt went he was hit throwing the ball and had to leave the game. With no QB's left the Rocks went to running back,Thaddeus Kazunas for a couple series.Thad had a great 65 yard TD run up the middle untouched on a QB draw play when it was 3rd and 16. Trinity receiver#85 Alex Graehler made some highlight catches and freshman running back Donald Brooks had some spectacular runs. Males running backs ran hard and the punter had a great leg! The game had hard hitting from both teams.

St. X wins big! Manual offense is to predictable...

The future looks bright for the Bulldogs! Keep working hard!

No problem Bama! I would really enjoy hooking up with you at the Male game on Friday. I always enjoy watching games at Maxwell Stadium...Good luck with the rest of your season.

I would never expect the dogs to QUIT!! I fully expect Male to play very hard... all the way to the end. The ROCKS just have to much of everything. Running clock win for the ROCKS!

Ease up Alabama! I know most posters MO on BGP. I just don't post a lot. I do read and laugh at how misinformed people are concerning the many issues Kentucky football. I can read into your sarcasm most of the time! FYI! I have two sons who played multiple sports at the ROCK. Oldest played football and owns quitea few championship rings. All I'm saying is it will be a running clock on Friday. No disrespect to your bulldogs... they are just a very young team taking a few lumps. They will get better. It's just that your Bulldogs will be facing a monster on Friday that requires me to say running clock. I know you and I would get along very well... I too, am a roll-tide fan! Enjoy your years with your son while he plays the great game of football.

What a beat down! Thanks for the bulletin board material Manual coach! I could go on and on about the separation of talent and coaching between Manual and Trinity... but I will leave that one alone. What stood out most to me was the pathetic Manual student section and lack of control by it's faculty!!! Were they even cheering for there team and did they even know what the score was at any point of the game. I'm sure... and will guarantee we will hear the same chants at Male next week from there student section. I must say it was nice playing Elder, Cinn. X, Brentwood Academy, MBA and Indy Cathedral and hearing there student sections cheering for there school and not berating the opposing team!! Hey Alabama!! When do you think the running clock will start next week. Just venting... sorry!!

Trinity by a lot! Manual has a little speed. But the ROCKS have lots of SPEED! Teams just cannot prepare in practice for what they will face in the game. Ask, Brentwood, MDA, Elder, Cinn. St. X, Cathedral and Lou. St. X. Should be a fun game! GO ROCKS!

Are you kidding me. Wright is a pure quarterback! Mattingly is a running back trying to be a quarterback. Let's see... Mattingly directs a broken play (1) touchdown in the entire game. Wright directs a 34 point offense (one TD was a 65 yd punt return by special teams stud Ryan White). Once T adjusted in the second half, Mattingly spent a lot of time running for his life. Zero first down until 4 minutes to go in the game. IMHO, I will take Wright over Mattingly any day of the week. I will say... Mattingly played his heart out. FYI! A one dimensional scheme will not beat this ROCK team. You could tell Glaser was struggling knowing he had to throw the ball to keep up. Good win ROCKS!

Well said JimmyRef! But it's the tipping of the hat that we remember the most! Just sayin!

Congrats! A well deserved coach!

Beautiful night for football! Great brats!!! The game was mixed with a lot of blown coverages by both teams. Bonafon, T's sophomore QB stood out the most. X's #9 also looked good. T's creative offense was the difference maker. Congrats Rocks for remaining undefeated on the JV level... Go Freshman on Thursday and Varsity on Friday. I was a bit surprised by the lack of attendance at this game. 5:30 pm might have something to do with it!

This is very accurate as much as it hurts the X supporters to hear. I could add much more, but let's leave it with this. on to the game... I think Trinity is much more talented at all facets of the game... especially coaching schemes. The term, “speed kills” will be the most telling story in this game. I have seen it first hand for 5 games against very good competition and it is a glaring disparity. Teams just can't prepare for this in practice or watching film. Now, with that said, X could possibly win this game. They have great high school kids and are very well coached. If the Rocks turn the ball over and make numerous mistakes on both sides of the ball and Mattingley rushes for 125 and passes for 200; and Walker rushes for 100+. I just don't see that happening against the Rocks defense... It's a great rival game! Rocks 31-14.

Great win for the ROCKS! Cathedral came in with a great game plan. Well coached!! Our timing was off a bit in the first half. We made some great adjustments at halftime and took care of business. Football has four quarters! Up to this point, Trinity's defense has shut down five very good football teams. Only giving up one offensive TD to the Irish is very impressive. What a great environment last night!! Well... it's on to our Kentucky portion of the schedule. Pride week starts on Monday. I look forward to playing the Tigers at the Pizza Palace on Friday. GO ROCKS! #21

Great win for the ROCKS! The Bombers defense was well balanced with speed and size. When you have two coaching staffs like this you expect a chess match. Trinity did a great job stopping the run and X seemed to be very uncomfortable throwing the ball. Trinity left some scoring opportunities on the table, but overall did a good job on the road, against a great team. Trinity did what they were suppose to do... control the ball, and win by two scores. Beatty's offensive system gets better as the season progresses. By playoff time they will be a well oiled green machine. FYI! X's student section is off the charts!! I loved it! Are group had a great time with the X fans before and after the game. Lots of class on that campus. Cathedral will be a different challenge with there passing attack. Our kids will be ready! Can't wait for Friday night. Will be another great crowd for a great high school football game. GO ROCKS! #21

Go Tigers! Bring one home for the ville!

I'm sure this will prepare the tigers for a deep run in the playoffs! Really!

Here is my two cents! We at Trinity have faced these chants for years in all the highly student attended sports from the publics here in Louisville (Ballard, Eastern, Male, Manual and Seneca), just to name a few. I don't like it... but if the school admins allow it, it will always continue. Believe me... I could go on about this type of behavior, but it seems to be like beating a dead horse. Let's play football!!! I must say it has been a breathe of fresh air to replace some of those teams with class programs and fans like Tenn. Brentwood Academy, Tenn. Montgomery Bell Academy, Cinn. Elder, Cinn St. X, Indianapolis Cathederal, and Cinn. Moeller.

How do you not prepare for the team you are playing! I'm sure Elder prepared for this game. They have good personal and coaching. When you have a top 10 nationally ranked team coming into your house... you prepare!! I think what happened is Elder was not prepared for the actual speed the Rocks put on the field at so many positions. You can't simulate that in practice. IMO! I thought we would win, but by maybe two touchdowns. Lastly, I just want to say that the Elder fans I talked to were flat out the nicest people to hang out with. Also, the student section was off the charts. You could really feel the rich and proud tradition of the panther fans. Just a great stadium for football. I'm glad I was there to witness this one. Way to go ROCKS! I loved the all white uni's. That was a first in Trinity's history. Can't wait to make the trip to Cinn St. X... GO ROCKS! #21!

X goes down to the Purples! X offense is so predictable. When the tigers get behind they still run the ball. Terrible clock management. NO PASSING GAME!!!
