DUBOURG FORFEITS TO TRINITY
Citing significant injuries to its roster, DuBourg will forfeit its Archdiocesan Athletic Association game Friday at Trinity.
“It's a shame, it's a shame for the kids,” Trinity athletics director Dan Grumich said. “That's the reward for all their hard work. Playing the games is what the kids want to do.”
DuBourg competes in Class 4 now that it co-ops its football team with Hancock. Sykora said the hope is that Hancock can help bolster the program's numbers going forward. DuBourg had to cancel its junior varsity season because of a lack of participation.
Sykora also is DuBourg's director of admissions.
“We hope to play the rest of the season,” Sykora said. “We were beaten up going into Affton. I've been at DuBourg for seven years and this is the most injuries we've had.”
Grumich said that the loss of the game is tough for Trinity's players, and it's also a blow for the extended Trinity community. The cheerleaders, student body, alumni and fans will have one less home game to watch the most talented team in school history. Since it's inception in 2003, Trinity has won two district championships. Last year's playoff run was the first of its kind in school history. Before last season's 12-1 mark, the Titans' best finish was 8-4 in 2009.
“The experience for the kids who don't play football,” Grumich said. “We only get four or five games at home.”
There's also the lost revenue from admission and concession stand sales. Grumich said it wasn't as significant as the students' experiences, but there is a bit of a financial hit that comes with not turning the lights on Trinity's sensational show Friday night.--
