The funny thing is he went to Male and you guys don't even know how to spell his name..

Raider, my apologies to Mr. "Redman". Since we are checking spelling and grammar, your use of an elipsis througout this thread is incorrect. The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots (periods) with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks.

Clark Co. 91 should not be excluded from the discussion simply because they didn't play Trinity's 2011 schedule. A team theoretically could be the "best ever" that played only cupcakes. Clark Co. 91 knocked off T and X in the same year which probably hasn't happened more than 2 or 3 times the last 30 years. For those familiar with the Clark 91 squad, who were some of the studs and where did they go on to play in college?

I guess he is from Northern Kentucky, he didn't answer my question. Chris Redmon is still in the pros and was a very highly rated QB in High School, he first committed to a Big 10 school, anyone remember? Where is your QB Raider?

Redmon was an Illinois committment, I believe.

1st team? I know they may be deserving, but I'd be shocked if it actually played out that way; unless the KY rankings were done by a national service.

No, I should have clarified--Quick was First team, Reynolds Second, and White Third team. My question should have been: how many Rocks will join those 3 on either First, Second, or Third team Allstate?

Trinity 2011 returns 3 2010 Allstaters (Quick, White and Reynolds)...How many more Rocks will join these 3? I'm guessing Hatcher for sure, probably Travis Wright, add a couple linemen and Trinity could easily have 7 or 8 on the Allstate teams for 2011.

No, I don't. The players are much bigger and stronger today. Starting pitchers routinely throw in the mid 90's and the closers are in the upper 90's.

Baseball is much more hand-eye than football...Give the 76 Reds the context of today's training, coaching, and I think they would perform well in today's game.

I am assuming people are referring to Manual's "1959" state champion team, many of whom were class of "1960". Manual had 6 Allstate players. See the link below for the Allstate listing for 59--3 first teamers and 3 second teamers. By comparison, the 2000 Male squad had 4 first teamers and 1 third teamer. In 2002 Trinity had 6 allstate players, 3 on first team, 2 on second, 1 on third.

Let's just say that I applaud Colerain's coach for standing up to such blatant ignorance. And I do not mean that in any derogatory way towards the St. X program in general. I'm sure the kids will get a serious "talking to" about it. We do have to keep in mind that we're talking about teenagers.

Whackem, I take it you've never been to a comedy show? The chant was "humour". The kids at X don't really believe that Jesus loves only X students/fans.

I appreciate the fact check on that one Bulldogs, I wasn't actually 100% sure.

 

In the case of Dunbar and Lafayette they were supposed to be the top teams in Lexington at the time. The 08 game with Lafayette was the second part of a home and home series with the Generals, Dunbar (I think) was the same. The reason we scheduled those teams was because most teams in Jefferson county, with a handful of exceptions, wouldn't play us unless they had to. Manual has been the traditional exception and apparently Southern/Butler agreed as well.

 

I don't seem to think that X has had the same issue with local teams. Either way, we have taken the lead in scheduling out of state opponents mostly because of refusal by local teams to play us.

Pep, you were correct about Southern...district game in 07 and playoff in 09. But 08 was cupcake city baby! Maybe X is having the same scheduling issues in 2011 that Trinity had in 08.

One for the ages... they'll be talking about this one for years and years. Now really, why was this game scheduled?

Per Riherds, in 08 the Mighty Rocks scheduled non-district games with Butler, Dunbar and Lafayette (186-12 combined!!). What was Bad-to-the-bone Bob thinking scheduling those games? Southern was a district game.

I am sure it was a tune up for Moeller !! Perhaps Doss is similiar.

Trinity played Southern a couple years ago...why ?

I saw where Steve had his debut last night against Kansas City. He pitched a 1-2-3 9th with 2Ks. His first fastball was at 97 MPH!

This is an inspiring and amazing story.

Above is the real USA Today Super 25 rankings. Only Cincy X, at 25, is in the poll.

BGP likes to rip on the AP poll - and rightfully so sometimes. But this 6-A ranking is bad, really bad.

 

How in the world can anyone rank Male and Manual ahead of St. X?

Two comments--1. X's blowout of Fern Creek was meaningless given the 10 or 12 Creeker starters who were benched; and 2. Trinity is so far ahead the rest of the 6A that really the only spots worth debating on BGP are 2 thru 5.

I would agree the 2002 team had the better offense. The 84 team I think had the better defense. With Carwell and Donnie Gardner on the line....Murray and Larch at LB...Shaw S...running the football was a near impossible task. There was only so many of those guys that you could double team, which then left head hunters like Bibb and Morris to come free. Not exactly a fun good natured group of guys to try and block move the football against.

Well to clarify, X has 3 backs that could go to Trinity and start over Daylen Dawkins, all underclassmen. You'll didn't see much of them b/c of the Stud, Lamont McMurry, but these 3 backs are far more discplined then he was, and as far as quarterback goes: Yes there is a mold of Buenher under Center. He's faster, better playmaking ability, but undersized. But no question X's backfield is loaded

Brother, I admire your passion for the Tigers, but I tried to talk you into putting the pin back in that grenade you were about to drop and you just wouldn't listen. Even assuming for a moment that you are correct--X has 3 backs better than Dawkins--I would maybe wait to share that opinion publicly, especially to our esteemed Trinity colleagues, until after these wonder backs have chewed up the Rocks for 300 or 400 combined yards of rushing. Until then, let's just act like we are digging fox holes (Sorry, I've been watching too much Military Channel).

Wrong! X has 4 stud backs that could start anywhere including Trinity

I hope I am dead wrong. When you say they could "start" at Trinity, do you mean at positions other than RB? Or, are you saying X has 4 running backs backs better than Daylen Dawkins? I watched both X/T games last year and I didn't see any X running back that was better than Dawkins.

Yeah, let's not compare this team to that one...

Why not?:jump: I would argue this Trinity team is better for two reasons: 1. James Quick and 2. Daylen Dawkins

That 84-85 Rock squad was very big, very strong, and very mean. But, as XTiger so aptly pointed out X was able to knock off the Rocks in the playoffs (20-0 I think....) largely because the X defense was able to get stops and force turnovers. That Trinity squad did not have a D1 caliber running back (no offense to Mr. Greg Lawson) or a D1 caliber receiver (no offense to Mr. George Frederick).

Congratulations Matt! I know it was a well thought out and difficult decison for Matt and his family to make. I look forward to following his career. I understand he may get on the mound as soon as today or tommorow in the Gulf Coast League.

I will be pleasantly surprised if X plays T within 3 TD's. X is X, minus any semblance of a stud running back or menacing offensive line. Trinity is just off the charts good. Not since the 84 team that featured the Gardner brothers, Andy Murray and Mike Pfeiffer have they had this much talent.

Funny you should mention that KyTmcNCC. Martin (LC Pitcher) Mother was sitting directly in front of me and we started talking as the game progressed. I was telling her how many pitches he had thrown, number of K's and such the entire (very nice and nervous lady) of the game. We got around to a pet pee of mine and that was LexCath and the community of Lexington calling themselves Catholic, like they are the only Catholic HS in Kentucky. I told her heck, just in about a 15 miles circle of CovCath there are just in Ky was CovCath, NewCath Holy Cross, St. Henry Villa, Cov Latin, NDA and at least a dozen other Catholic HSin Ohio who BTW were HS before LexCath was ever LexCath. She told me she never thought of it that way and told me that she has been to CovCath on a couple of occasions to watch LexCath play CovCath in basketball and just loved the crazies! Very nice lady....

Same with schools in the state that call themselves "County"...and they say, well, we are the only team with "county" in our name in our county.

I believe he was dismissed from Ballard's team at the end of the year. I believe WKU pulled his scholarship. Shame, very talented player.

Congratulations to Matt! This is quite an honor and I'm sure he will make an informed intelligent decision regarding going to WKU or pursuing a career with the Red Sox. If he chooses Red Sox, he may want to ask his father to burn all of his Yankees garb before heading to Boston.

Scouts had Spalding hitting 96 mph in the first inning last night in the win against Trinity.

Perhaps equally impressive was his stamina and composure. It was very hot, the start was delayed over 2 hours due to the heat index. Matt overcame a couple errors and a 2rbi base hit in the second inning to shut down Trinity in innings 3 thru 6. As if pitching wasn't enough, he then hit a 3 run bomb to give the Tigers the 4-2 lead. Gutsy performance!
