Are there any Trinity believers YET?

Your second sentence is the real difference about Trinity this year, and I agree. Patterson was never a good coach in my opinion and he was flat outcoached against Reed when they played LN last year for the district championship. I could tell from what they knew coach had the team doing over the summer and in practices that he gets it and would have them playing good team ball together. Coach TC knows what he's doing and don't think it will be over for them when this class leaves. They have a bunch of talented juniors contributing significant minutes and word is there are some pretty good freshmen coming in.

Trinity’s roster has about 60 kids on it. They’ll lose some talent this year, but kids graduate EVERY year. They’ll maybe be a little different, but younger kids step up.

Corey Patterson took a job at Trinity and his kid’s parents sent them there because of it. I’d be SHOCKED if he didn’t recruit them to do so, since he was already their coach. I’m gonna need more than just you saying that he “shopped them around to the highest bidder to get himself a job” at Trinity or at Illinois before I believe it though. It is t against MSHSAA rules for kids to follow their coach to a high school and it isn’t against the rules for private schools to recruit 8th graders. If you’ve got proof that Patterson “shopped” his kids then I’d love to see it. I’m sure Illinois hired him hoping he’d get Trinity players there because they DEFINITELY have him STL as his recruiting territory expecting him to use his relationships with Area coaches and players to get other kids, too. Maybe it shocks you to learn THAT isn’t illegal, either? The internet is your friend. Don’t take my word for it. Look for yourself. But there’s no need to make up stuff.

I do have 2nd hand knowledge from a friend of mine that is an administrator at a AAA conference school that was involved in the interview process of Patterson at their school.

One of Patterson "requirements" was school had to provide minimum of 15 full tuition financial aid/scholarships per year of his choosing. They felt uncomfortable with this and did not offer him job.

Maybe, maybe not this would violate MSHSAA rules but private school aid is suppose to be for academic reasons not athletic ones.

SOOOOOO, a Georgia boy cain't talk up a MISSOURI team on THEIR board?

Makes no difference to me. I am newer to this site than you BUT I am from Nixa. The only time I see your post is when I read ignored content.
I encourage all posters to simply reply to the orb with one simple line that is the most notable thing from Georgia. "Gone with the wind."

Quick question on Trinity. I see a lot of posts saying they now have a good coach. Only watched them play once but why are people down on Patterson? Were they ill prepared in games or bad reputation?

Also comment on kids getting funding for going to private schools. Don't believe there are any schools anymore that do not give those to athletes. I coached two kids whose parents said they were going to CBC if the money was right. Both ended up enrolling there and received full rides for college after playing.

Trinity Catholic travels to LaSalle, Ohio, and lays a 33-0 haymaker on a traditional Ohio power! CONVERSELY, Colerain, the #1 team in Ohio, beat LaSalle 23-0! In addition, Trinity, as you may know, barely lost to East St. Louis in 3OT's! East St . Louis lost by six points, to the #3 ranked team in Ohio, Massillon Washington! I for one, vote for giving credit where it's DUE!

They appear to be getting their fair share of street creds on the national messageboard!

Those Ohio boys can’t tie our shoes down here in MO

Technically these "full rides" are for eduction not sports. The school should dictate who gets these funds for an eduction. Not a coach offering them for sports.

I think those that don't like the advantages Privates enjoy would lump them all together (ultimately). Patterson just got the heat on here for a while because he was so vocal and liked seeing his name in print.

Which kids get how much money from private schools and why they get it isn’t known by anyone other than the parents and the administration. Folks can speculate all they want. At the end of the day it’s just rumors.

Rumor has it. You have a excuse for anything issue involved. And you provide no soultions. We do. Fix the issue. Until than? Get over the bitching you feel the urgent need to defend. Broken record.

A bunch of anonymous guys from rural Missouri and a bored housewife that pretends to know anything about football don’t have as much influence as you’d think over MSHSAA. I enjoy reading threads crying about imaginary violations. I know how much it hurts for you to see Trinity’s kids have opportunities that kids in Cassville don’t. Jealousy is a disease, Roseanne. I’m not going anywhere. Maybe you’re right though? Maybe MSHSAA really IS intentionally rigging the system against you? Feel better now?
