Walker Wood was injured (knee) in 6A final yesterday, after completing a pass per LHL. Lafayette left the field without shaking hands at conclusion. So, what happened? Cheap shot on Wood? Anyone see it in person? Status on his injury?
Walker Wood Injury; What Happened?

Don't know much about this. But isn't it clear that Lafayette was pretty pissed about a cheap shot injuring their QB and trinity fans taunting them?
If true, refs lucky it was just his hat

Seriously? You condone attacking an official? Do you have ACTUAL evidence of a cheap shot....of course a cheap shot other than the one taken by the Lafayette player on the official. THAT was a cheap shot and possibly an illegal one at that.
Lafayette lost twice to the Rocks by a combined total of about 100 points. If you cannot play big boy football out in the state than drop down to 5A or 4A. They lost. Grow a pair.
Wow. Just a big mess in general. The kid from Lafayette was WAY out of line, no matter what preceded.
Actually, I think it is the several major Catholic HS in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Louisville who should be told by their respective HSAA's to build their own interstate conference and satisfy themselves with that. Cathedral, Chatard, Roncalli, Trinity, St. X, Elder, St. X, Moeller...
That's what you get with governments telling kids where they have to go to school versus vouchers & charter schools. Hopefully KY government is about to straighten this out.
So are you saying the answer is for public schools to recruit too?
The shot on Walker was a cheap shot and appeared to be an attempt to injure him. I was at the game and witnessed that. The Lafayette player that knocked off the referee's hat was totally out of line and should not have committed his infraction. No excuse for that. The game was very spirited and emotions were high on both sides. There were many personal fouls against both teams. There appeared to be more after Walker was injured. However Trinity caused the majority of these. Trinity also shouted where is Walker after he was injured. This was uncalled for.
sounds like he wants absolutely zero parody in HS athletics! I played for a small country team rather than play for a Catholic school nearby that told me I didn't have to pay!
Oh really? Its hard to compete with FREE. And just so you know, every school and every sport where they try to have a competitive team...recruits.
Absolutely not fair for parochial schools ,with all boys ,to,play public,coed schools. Add recruiting at a Trinity ,etc, and the advantage multiplies!
Trinity has done that on its own to a degree. They also add in the top Nashville teams. Trinity has a winning record against them. It is frankly a waste of time for Trinity to play the 7th region teams on its mandatory portion of its schedule. Trinity went 5 games in that portion without yielding a single point. Eastern, Ballard, J-Town, Seneca, Ohio County. 300-0 total score...teaches nothing. The playoff run was like 250-50.
So to your point I agree. At a minimum add a super-conference to KHSAA and allow any of the schools in KY that think they are good enough to compete. Certainly Male can compete. Bowling Green humbles Lou St.X each year. Let them try REAL big boy football. Highlands on occasion. Trinity did not do the Cinci teams this year for some reason. Those have been a tremendous rivalry for the Rocks in the past 5 or 6 years since Trinity won the National Championship in 2011.
This is funny ...I was listening to part of the call on the radio and the Trinity crew was saying that about Layfette and them not having the class that Trinity and St.X display...its easier to be good when you can "recruit" kids from counties all around this city and southern Inc.
Eastern has nearly as many boys as Trinity. Trinity played them twice, score 104-0. Do we add Eastern to your list? Lafayette has about 200 boys less than Trinity. Is it the number of boys that guarantees success. Certainly size does matter but that is not a huge difference in total male enrollment.
Maybe. Or maybe someone in Owensboro or Paducah can fill us in. In Lex and Louisville, the successful public football schools recruit.
How many 6A schools are on the western side of the state? Beyond that, if there are TWO high schools in the same area...then there is recruiting.
My son went to St X. They and Trinity both recruit, especially for football. I've seen it up close and personal. For those who claim that public schools recruit, it's not even remotely close as to how it works. I believe Trinity got a couple of southern indiana kids to transfer over to them this year.

Stephen Herron also transferred from New Albany. He's a big time recruit.

Didn't see the hit on Wood, so I'm not going to comment on it. Trinity student section shouting inappropriate things...have seen it before without school administration doing anything, not surprising.
Private vs public....if you don't see the difference, you are just turning your head. It is a huge difference. Private school's facilities alone make most public's look like high school, oh, they are. Private's are more like small colleges. Players, the difference is, public may have 2 really good players and 5-6 good players and some of them go both ways. Private can have 2-3 really good players and 20 good players, hardly any go both ways. It allows them to rest during games and at practice, it gives them more time to work on skill set.
I went to a public school, it is a 6-A school now, we had 38 guys on the football team. My son went to a private school, they had 95. There were kids on the team that didn't play that much that probably could have played small college football. There is a kid at my son's high school that DID NOT play high school football and walked on at a Division I (or FBS, whatever it is) top 25 program and made the team.
It is kind of like a Little League baseball team vs an AAU baseball team. The LL team would lose in most cases to the AAU team. The LL team is limited to where the kids come from and the AAU team isn't. It's why they don't play each other, one team has a huge advantage.
Not sure what the answer is, unless you just combine all private with private from Indy, Cincy, and Nashville. Don't see that happening though.

My son played middle school ball for a state champion team. He played with kids who later made college rosters. I saw the recruitment up close. The one kid who was a better football player than basketball was recruited out the wazoo. When my son went to HS, his football coach spent every Saturday at parochial school games right next to the private HS coaches, recruiting.
The public schools give FREE tuition as well . Quit complaing about students and parents rejecting mediocrity . That's what America is all about. The right to excel . To rise above the crowd . Not to be average and accept the mediocrity and dumbing down philosophy of teachers unions.
Hey buddy
Get your wadded up panties out of your booty hole. No where did I say I condoned it. I said he was lucky that's all that happened. And like I said IF THATS WHAT HAPPENED he is lucky. Athlete just played a difficult game where their star was injured and they at least THOUGHT it was a blatant cheap shot and they were being taunted over the injury. I could easily see that much turmoil boiling over and a kid does something stupid.
Take a Valium or something . Get out the house. Enjoy life and calm down. Get some action.., jesus
I live pretty close to Owensboro, was offered to go to Owensboro Catholic, but didnt. I've known to the last 2 HCs at Owensboro and they didn't recruit, nor has Apollo or DC!
So if you go to public school you accept mediocrity? I hate that my public school educated daughters get so much scholarship money. I can only imagine how much money they would have gotten had they gone to private schools.... BTW the education requirements for instructors at public schools is much more stringent than private schools.
LoL I'm not the one who suggested the ref was lucky. You are. I'm calm. I don't do drugs. Why bring jesus into it, phattyboy?
A lot of schools try to recruit but the private schools succeed more. When I was in middle school I had some success in basketball. I won 3 mvp awards at summer college camps. I also won mvp at Kenny Walker and Rex Chapmans basketball camp. After I won the award my dad and I were approached by the head coach at St. X in Louisville. He Straight out asked me to come to St. X. He went through the process and how it would work. I told him I wasnt Catholic and lived an hour away from Louisville, etc. He said it didnt matter, they could put me with a host family or get my dad a job in Louisville at a Ford plant, lol. So it definitely happens. (I didnt go by the way)
