Nope. Owen Hauck barely knew what a pass was. Three in a game was a lot. He was a fine gentleman though. Lost once in the finals. I did sideline stats for BC in the Alexander days. Loved it. He wasn't 17 yet when his senior season ended. It's no wonder AL RSed him.
Tilghman, Owensboro Catholic, and my hometown Union County Braves repping Western Ky in the championship games!!
This PTHS team could beat the Tornado teams of the 1960's by 100 points. I don't believe that anyone from those teams could start on the team today. The biggest player back then was about 6'0" and 190 pounds. Now, the starting linemen are all over 250 pounds. Tilghman largest lineman is about 6'7" and 300 pound, and being recruited by all the big time schools. I can't believe how big kids are today. By the way, the Tilghman quarterback, who holds the all time passing record in Kentucky, is the grandson of a 1968 graduate of PTHS.
This team is better. The 1973 team was the best up to that time, having more size in the line than any previous team, but the talent on this team is unreal. Martels Carter, Jr. and Vanzale Hinton have signed with SEC schools. Jarvis Strickland, junior offensive tackle, is considered the top college prospect in Kentucky in both the junior and senior classes, and is being recruited nationally. Freshman Avery Thompson, QB-WR-DB, was offered by UK in the summer prior to his 8th grade year, something unheard of.
Bowling Green ? I get it, they are more South Central Ky, but from the western half of the state.
You’re a Louisville guy; what can you tell us about the Christian Academy of Louisville that will play my Union County Braves this coming Saturday? From what little I can see, it appears CAL has built a football pipeline of its own; though perhaps not on the scale of Trinity has done.
They are devoted to being a Trunity. They have a pipeline of great UofL QB coaching and a pretty big Christian school system pipeline with the numbers to compete. The Hodge kid is playing QB this year after previously being his brother's primary receiver for 3 years. He is their best athlete.
Go Big Blue. Congrats to PTHS
I’d like to see how many of their players are on scholarship because I can’t imagine a lot of parents can afford that.
They are about all that expensive. Amazing how the privates can horde that much talent. A lot of the athletes must be getting some pretty good scholarship money.
I looked at one of them that had an average scholarship of $13,000. It's still hard to think how people come up with the other $15,000 or so to go to those schools. That's why I was against the constitutional amendment to give them public funds. Even with the $4,000 in seek money, most people still couldn't come up with the difference to send their kids there. It would of just turned into a $4,000 handout to rich people at the expense of taxpayers.
You’re in another planet with that worldview
You definitely can argue that. The flip side is one has to choose from the kids who live within that district when the other one can compile some of the best from everywhere.
Those are mostly Trinity under Beatty. X hasn't really been relevant since the 70s.
That is why T plays a regional schedule. I believe the 6A should be an "open" category that allows say Boyle Cty or any of the 4 or 5A schools who think they are up to the competition to compete. There are 6As that are awful. The ADs can figure who should play in the "Open."
