This rivalry got its start in 1956 and the game is so ingrained in the city’s Catholic culture that families schedule events to not conflict with the game. This game is promoted by the schools as the most-attended annual regular-season high school football game in the country, typically drawing more 35,000 fans. The two all-male schools of about 1,400 students each dominate football in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The teams enter Friday’s contest ranked atop the Kentucky High School Athletic Association as the Shamrocks hold the No. 1 spot. Trinity leads the all-time series 41-37-2. The teams have combined for 36 KHSAA recognized state championships. Trinity has won 24 state titles, as St. X claims 12.
