Trinity earned a hard-fought 35-24 victory over rival St. Xavier on September 26 at L&N Stadium in Louisville. The Shamrocks set the tone early with a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown, and junior quarterback Zane Johnson took over from there, throwing three touchdown passes- including a pair of strikes to Jason Hagan in the first half and another to Cross Watson after halftime. St. X battled to keep it close, cutting the deficit to 21-10 at the break with a rushing score and a late field goal, but Trinity extended the lead in the third quarter and added a short rushing touchdown from Jamaurion Berry in the fourth. The Tigers made a final push as Mason Trimble connected with Lucas Shelton for a touchdown to pull within 35-24, but the Shamrocks’ defense held firm in the closing minutes. With the win, Trinity improved to 5-1 and further cemented its place as one of Kentucky’s top teams, while St. X fell to 3-2 and will look to regroup after the rivalry loss.
