Louisville St. X (#15 USA Today) plays Louisville Trinity (whose OC is our own Andrew Coverdale, or "yspace") in the KY 6A finals this weekend, I believe.
Haven't followed them much this year but St X is undefeated and I think Trinity's only loss came to St X in a 23-13 or so game. I know this is a big rivalry between these two teams.
Also of some interest is the clash in styles. Trinity is much more wide open (though they can run the ball well) and use lots of multi-receiver sets and throw it quite a bit. St. X runs a lot of the power game and mixes in the veer.
One big thing of interest to me is I just read in the local paper that St X switched this year from a 6-2/4-4 to a 4-3. I'd be curious if anyone had any info on whether it is very basic or where it came from. Looks like it helped them against Trinity this year, who averages 40-50 points a game.
Anyway, was wondering if anyone was going to (a) attend to the game, or (b) knew if Fox sports or anyone was going to be broadcasting it. I'm not in the area so it's unlikely I'd even get it on regional coverage. Plus you have to take any opportunity you get to see an Andrew Coverdale offense in action, particularly against maybe the strongest defense in the state.

To further whet any appetites, I just found an article online with Coverdale talking about their QB, a 5-11 170lb kid who broke several of Brian Brohm's records at Trinity.
It's worth comparing St. X's team stats:
Team Season Totals
Record 14 - 0
------------------------------------Total-----------------------------Average
Points Scored--------------------561 -----------------------------40.1
Points Allowed -------------------96-------------------------------- 6.9
Total Rushing Yards Gained --3674 ---------------------------262.4
Total Passing Yards Gained ---1425 --------------------------101.8
Total Rushing Yards Allowed---1246 ---------------------------89.0
Total Passing Yards Allowed ---1572--------------------------112.3
The moral is: Please I hope someone can tape this ;D

I checked Fox Sports schedules, but no luck there.

thanks, Chris. For the record, I have a shrine built that I use to worship Coverdale. The moral is: Please I hope someone can tape this ;D word to big bird. If you can't post it - I'll buy the DVD off you (whoever) |

Trinity also to Cincinnati St. X would just recently won the big school championship here in Ohio and is ranked in the top 3 in the country...You will find little argument that St. X had the best defense in the state this year, and one of the best in the nation.
That being said, Trinty put up 31 on them when no other team put up over 14
I second what Brophy said, if no one can post the game I will buy the DVD off of them. I can not find it anywhere around here and on my Direct TV...If anyone finds it hook me up thanks!

Well I will be at the game. The local cable company normally does all the state games so there is a chance I can record it off of the TV. I plan on doing this if it is on there. T QB has only thrown something like 4 picks all year with 2 of them coming in one game. Also I think T has been running a 4-3 for a little while except against power teams which they go to a 6-2 look. I did get to go see T in passing league type work this summer.
As a side note Lone Oak will be playing I think the game before. Lone Oak has the QB that broke the national record for TDs (87+) in a season and has something like a 79% completion percentage. I will be recording as many of these games as I can. If and when I get them I will let people know

Found this, not great quality but there's a tiny video link. Click on "Corey Robinson" in the box. They ran some quads and stuff in this but I think they ran mesh every other play... so yes there's some Airraid in there. The kid apparently isn't getting a ton of D-1 looks, but 90 TD passes is flat our impressive. Plus they are 14-0, and it's a little school out in Paducah. So good for them. ssfootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=740163 |

Eh, I talked to a coach who said Trinity was running illegal pick routes the whole night and the refs just weren't calling them. While it sounds like an excuse, if the refs are not going to call it, play ball! |

I think guys like Spreadattack and airraid, are trying to win many of us over to the darkside.
I wish this game was on TV in Idaho, it sounds like a real good game to watch, thanks for mentioning it spreadattack.

Really just more of a joke, in that it would certainly bring Franklin more clients and more moulah. Little did I know they are Franklin clients. But in all seriousness - more power to him. 90 TDs and a 14-0 record for a team that didn't make the playoffs last year and is from a very small town in KY, well, you can't really argue with that. |

Wow, haven't heard that name in a long time, (Louisville St. X) My Ashland Tomcats played them for the state at large championship in "76. it was 7-6 at the half, before they pulled away 21-7  They were a large school that platooned , dressed out over a 100 players I believe. There's some good football in KY |

Eh, I talked to a coach who said Trinity was running illegal pick routes the whole night and the refs just weren't calling them. While it sounds like an excuse, if the refs are not going to call it, play ball! If you have every read or watched the Bunch Attack videos/book then you would know what they are talkign about. Coverdale teaches the WR to run through contact. The WR has as much right to a spot as the DB and they take advantage of that. The WR run "through" contact. Eyes up and arms pumping is how it is taught. When they go to compressed formations it happens a bit. Coverdale even says that the DC for the other team will be throwing fits because of it. Most if not all of us know that Coverdale is extremely smart and good at what he does. What is so impressive is the amount of detail he goes into with his players. It will remind you of watching NFL Films of Bill Walsh and how anal he was about where people and the ball are to be. In last years state finals he went to a gun 2 TE look with trips WRs to one side. You want to talk about a PITA to deal with. Coverdale is very open with what he does and is very helpful. He is very aware that most of what they do can be bought in either books or videos. I am sure there are HS that run systems just as complex as T but it is an amazing thing to watch them. Their QB has thrown for something like 50+ TDs with around 5 ints. They also have a jr RB they use like a Marshal Faulk. Lots of personal groups, motions and multipul shifts. They are both a large all boys school and dress around 100 players. They dress that many for freshman also. T has won more state titles than anyone in KY I believe. |

Lone Oak is not exactly from a small town (Paducah), but they have had little to no success in years past. They hired an old fart named Jack Haskins (that's intedned to be a compliment, and from what I know of Jack he'd probably take it as one) four years ago and he changed the culture and climate. He also installed the Tony Franklin System this year. They rarely run the ball. The QB is a great HS player, but they also have several very good receivers and a solid OL. The QB has over 90 TDs in 14 games and 4 INTs. |

Lone Oak had big protection problems today and got beat in the championship game. Down 35-0 at half.
Trinity/Coverdale wins today over rival St.X in overtime 34-28.

If you can find someone in Louisville with cable they will replay the games. In Northern KY right now all we will get is 3 or the 6 games. I hope it makes it onto some sports channel. There were 2 TF chools that played for a title and both lost. The other game was much closer though

If anyone does have the games, I will be more than willing to split them and put them up at Rapidshare.

yeah well when they got to state is was ugly. Lexington Catholic plays either a 33 or a 35 I am not sure but they just played cover 1 or cover 0 the whole game and killed them with speed. There were 2 TF schools and both looked very grab bag at times.
T ended up winning in OT I think 38-35. T's RB had something like 300+ all purpose yards on something like 20 touches or so.
