CBC, Trinity and Cardinal Ritter

Yet, there’s only ONE private school that has your flannel panties in a bunch. It’s gonna be a cold, miserable Winter for you guys. Use those tears on your roads and there won’t be ice, at least.

Nah ... since football ISN'T 'life' ????
It's going to be a GREAT winter in God's country.
Merry Christmas, boys.
 
I don't know if we are down, a one year absence normally does not constitute being down. Let's see what Trinity can do next year, can they make it 7 in a row like a little old rural town did? Or is this team a one time purchase of St Louis all-stars, who could only beat the "Rurals" just once in their high school career.

But if it makes you feel better about yourself, you go right ahead and keep beating your chest. Yep it only took you three years after purchasing the best team money could buy to accomplish what you wanted.
Not calling for a state championship next year, becase it isn't easy to win (shout out to Lamar, very impressive run), but you all are going to be kicking and screaming angry if you think they are about to fall off. I will leave it at that.

Then came the shit talk because you were low-key jealous that your All-State Class 2 kids didn’t get recognition from colleges ... but STL kids did.

I would like to point out that 5 guys from Lamar’s 2013 team are finishing up their football careers this year....
Sam Bailey- Mizzou
Ben Bailey- Southern Illinois
Jared Beshore- MSU
Landon Compton - Missouri Rolla
Jimmy Keutzer -Central MO

We have plenty of players who get looks. Believe or not some are ready to hang up their pads after high school.

I’m shocked that you win one state championship and you’re on here trash talking people. Win with class, lose with class. There will always be those few players but Bailey wouldn’t tolerate that. He expects his players to have good sportsmanship and remain classy.

I personally think all of this is out of line. I hope there are no players reading this stuff. The personal attacks have gone too far across the board. Let's keep this adult and civil and talk about football instead of making personal attacks. Two (or more) wrongs don't make a right.

Nah.

Been playing the rural card. You all are the only jokers worried about Trinity players and how they walk, talk, eat, and sleep.

I don't think anyone here worries about the flashes in the pan programs. And the only programs from St. Louis so far that have proven to not be flashes in the pan in the past 20 years have been Ladue and CBC.

Lamar
Maryville
Blue Springs
Kearney
Webb
Fort Osage
Rock
Harrisonville
Lee's Summit West
Staley

These teams prove year after year (and overall, playoff after playoff) that they have the chance to win the big one, and have won the big one multiple times.) Keep hope alive, brutha...keep hope alive.

You aren’t being mocked for being stressed and concerned about your ride being over. You’re being mocked for bitching, crying, and making every excuse possible because the team you hate won a championship. It’s hilarious!

I know our ride is far from over!! I think you’re flattering yourself thinking we care about you all so much.
 
I missed this San ... but, it's the post of the week.
Good luck and God bless to those kids... but, they'll need SO MUCH MORE than what was displayed after that game to succeed in life.
DGB. Indeed.
Size, talent, showmanship, knowing the right people, D1 this and D1 that ....
Bad attitude and misbehavior and lack of accountability to any authority???
DONE.
Contrary to what those in the east believe?
Football is NOT life.

The Trinity players are well aware that there is more to life than football. The whole goal of the Trinity program is to allow kids to get scholarships so that they can go to school for free. Yeah they went to win, but that is not the main focus. It's all about using football is a tool for betterment especially for some of the players who come from bad backgrounds. Academics are emphasized and you don't play if you are underperforming in the classroom. During the summer, kids are taken on college tours and get spoken to by professionals in different careers so that they can be prepped for the real world. A lot of posters making comments about the player's class and character need to do some more research. If you did you would find hard working kids that are going to college (first ones in their family in some cases) and overcoming obstacles.
 
Actually, Trinity is one of the cheapest private high schools in Saint Louis. All students get a 1500 scholarship from the Archdiocese. There is also a Catholic foundation that provides grants and yes the grants go to athletes and non-athletes. Basically, catholic schools are closing in large number in north county where Trinity is located. In order to maintain a presence in the area, the Archdiocese throws a lot of support behind Trinity. In addition, the grants often do not cover all the fees so parents still have to pay. A lot of sacrifices have been made to make this group of kids successful. It truly has been like a family where you support one another whether it be feeding kids, help with transportation, or anything else needed.

So those that have transferred did so for athletic reasons?

Who transferred in? I think you are getting your private schools confused. Trinity is not built on transfers like some other private schools. Core group came in as 9th graders with a plan. One player transferred from another private but that was more of a school fit issue.

You're right on the core group, I was referring the 3 year window of big time transfers. Their senior class was the dominant group behind this championship no doubt.

I wouldn't be shocked if kids did start to transfer there. Once you start getting your kids scholarships, parents will be attracted. The fact is some schools public and private are better at and work harder at getting their kids chances at the next level. The ones that do will start getting more of the better athletes. I can't blame parents for trying to find the best chances for their kids especially when it is about way more than football.

Q: How do those players who come from “bad backgrounds” (your quote, not mine) afford to buck up thousands upon thousands of dollars for that Trinity education?

Before you give your predictable reply regarding how Trinity will provide financial aid to those in need (and you will), I would like to see the data as to how many of those Trinity players receiving financial aid also happen to be D1 athletes.

Then, of course, we’ll hear the tired diatribe as to how athletic performance is never under consideration when providing financial aid to certain players.

So, can you see why many, many people have an issue with these “select” teams that some private athletic departments are assembling? The statistical probability of some class 2 or 3 school “just so happening to have” a dozen FBS college football players on their squad is equal to throwing 50 quarters in the air and having them all land on one end. Interestingly enough, most class 2 and 3 schools haven’t seen that many D1 recruits in the entire history of their program.

So, yes. Trinity is the best class 3 team in the state, but it’s bogus, invalid and a plethora of bovine scat.

The whole school receives financial aid. This senior class was unique in that they decided to stick together instead of splitting up among the various private schools in St Louis. If you would look at the Trinity program with an unbiased eye you would see the same traits that you would see at Lamar, WC, Maryville, and other successful programs. Kids learning to be physical, work hard, work for each other, and team before self. That's why the hate on Trinity makes no sense.

The rest of us in Team St Louis aren’t really in close relation to Trinity just hear to rub it in LOL my guy here clearly is apart of administration and he is taking all comers with paragraphs. Proceed with caution you jealous rural losers, he got time today.

I thought Mookie Transfered in? But yea these weird 65 year old men who are aroused by diciplined fundamental football and gonna have another year of angry MoSports post because Mookie Cooper is just Junior. I think he’s easily the most impressive prospect on Trinity, hoping he goes to Mizzou but if not just go to Alabama.

I am not a part of TCHS admin. I work with kids in Florissant so I am very familiar with Trinity, LN, Hazelwood, and Ferg-Flor. Just have seen enough of character attacks on high school kids. Criticize style of play, even criticize recruiting but talking about character/class is whole another deal. Mookie was the fit case I was referring to. He came from SLUH but it wasn't the right fit. Speaks volume for his academic abilities that he was at SLUH. Again, the Trinity QB is a 4.0 student and you don't hear about Trinity kids not qualifying. like I have seen at some other STL private schools.

Right. That’s why you and your buddies haven’t been able to keep Trinity’s name out of your mouths even though you weren’t even in the same classification. Lamar will still roll thru their conference and district next year, mostly because the rest of the teams they play aren’t very good. I guess we’ll see what the future holds in 2019, but in 2018 they couldn’t get past Lathrop. Who you NEED to care about is Cassville, then Lathrop, then Blair Oaks. Hanging your hat on one kid from 2013 that ended up at a P5 school and 4-5 others that latched onto bottom feeding programs isn’t a huge accomplishment. I’m highly doubtful your kids get the attention from colleges that you claim, and that the only reason they don’t sign is because they’re tired of football ... but i’ll entertain you on it. Walmart can always use more shopping cart wranglers or they can pump soft serve at that Dairy Queen y’all are so proud of.

What you say about the other teams are true, but you don't see myself or other posters talking trash about those other teams. Who do you think is starting these threads regarding Trinity? Sure seems like y'all care to me.

Great posts across the board, glad you are here to set them straight. I admittedly get to emotional over folks picking on high school kids, calling them "classless" and making jokes about nobody getting shot at games, so I appreciate your posts. Mookie Cooper also makes good grades, and I'm sure many of the other players do as well as coaches demand to see progress reports and such.

My point was that we most certainly do have kids playing college ball, but more importantly they are graduating and becoming productive members of society. I didn’t realize it had to be certain colleges. People down here in rural MO care more about the life they will lead and what kind of men they will become. Of those 5, 1 has already graduated with a degree in Ag engineering an has begun his masters, another will graduate with a degree in aeronautical engineering, and another one with engineering in general. So you go right ahead and trash talk since you won a championship, make fun of boys who don’t go to THE colleges you think they should. We could really care less. I Wish your boys the boys the best. Love to talk to ya in 4 yrs to see where all those top rated athletes are.

I could care less if you believe we get looked at or not. We know we do and that’s what matters. To sit and act as if we are all some poor rural uneducated is laughable. It’s quite amazing.....our boys are athletic, hard working, smart AND know how to show respect. You see they don’t need football in college, they’re smart enough to be able to go for free without that scholarship. Obviously, since this is a first for you all, you might consider teaching some of these life long traits like respect and class.
 
Indeed. All class.
I wonder if this Trinity Coach here is demanding to see this one’s progress report?
Maybe it’s just part of the sign of the cross I’ve forgotten? Must be - it was performed in view of everyone at last week’s championship game.
Now, THAT is class.

I mean, what does the picture have to do with the coaches checking in on the players' school work? It happens, so now it is clear that you are mocking us and using pics to do it, and that is fine. Yep, that is Isaiah flipping the bird, and???? They like to joke back and forth with each other, many will find it offensive and some won't. Doesn't make him a classless kid as you would put it. If you actually spoke to the kid in person, you would know he is kind and very modest. Another poster not from Stl even said the same thing on this board.

And????there are a lot of little impressionable one's watching from the sideline from both sides, this is a public event not just for Trinity fans who are not bothered by this sort of behavior. For any school Administration, coach, fan or adult to try and defend this is just ludicrous. To continue to allow it just shows very bad judgement as an adult who should be showing our young men how to act publicly now and in the future!!! This might be one thing if the photo had been taken at a practice and the schools administration and coaching staff was okay with that sort of disrespect and behavior during that time. It is another when done in public where others actually find that vulgar.

My little four year old came up to me the other day and showed me that exact gesture, I had to explained to him that is not nice and we don't do that, and I asked were did you see that. He said on TV. So to think that little kids don't see that and try to copy that is crazy. I am not going to attack the player it is not his fault that he goes to a school were it is obvious to the public who do not wear the Trinity colored classes, that they have lost control of the football program and it looks like how they teach young men to act in public and become adults. If this is how private schools teach and allow young students to act in public, I will send my child to public school, I know for a fact this would not be a tolerated behavior by our coaching staff and administration and none of our fans would go out defend it or try and justify it.

If this is allowed in public what do they allow to go on behind the walls when nobody can see?

That's a private school way of saying, we're #1! But see, the private school way is also the country boy way. See, we're all more the same than you think.

Yes! Exactly ! Playing sports is a privilege not a right. Responsibilities come when you represent your school. Adults are supposed to be teaching and setting an example for the teens. The teens are to be a good examples for the younger kids. This goes for every school, doesn't matter how many trophies you have or don't have.

I don’t understand how someone can defend that. Most of the population would see that as a mistake. You guys are implying that as long as he succeeds and wins he can do whatever he wants. Terrible. And I know you’ll think long and hard on this post and it’ll just result in, “you are just a old man who opposes over high school kids.” Or “class 3 state champs.” I have personally met isiah Williams and have found him to be a great person who is extemely humble and I wish him the best at Illinois. What he did though in this is wrong. It is okay to say as a trinity fan that he messed up. It is okay. You do not have to defend everything they do. And yes you won the class 3 state championship. Great season and congrats. However doing things like this is a terrible example of charcater and shows a terrible example to others of how to act and how to win.

It doesn't bother me one bit. Good kid, he flipped the bird, so what? It's how I feel, and you don't have to feel that way. It bothers you, cool, understood. The thing is, you're not going around saying the kid is classless and attacking him and his parents, but others are. THOSE are the people I'm talking to when I post.
