Foul trouble hurt Trinity a bit but Clay played very tough and never quit even when Trinity would stretch the lead a bit.

To beat Clay County at Clay county is very impressive. Shamrocks proving that they can play other sports besides football.
I appreciate the posts concerning the games from TrinitySID.

they only won by 10
you could stump the schuab, you know everything.
Trinity went and won by 10 AT CLAY CO. That's not an easy thing to do...especially being from Louisville and going in to the mountains.
Corbin only beat Clay Co by 10 @ Clay Co and Lexcath only beat them by 12 @ Clay Co.
Clay Co is a tough team at home. Don't try to take away from T's win.
And it's Schwab...not Schuab.

Give Clay County credit for playing a good game.
Overall, the report I got was that the officiating was reasonable until the second half when things started to get a bit one-sided in Clay's favor.
If Trinity is going to make it out of the district and region, then this kind of game, in a hostile environment, is GREAT preparation to do so!

No offense implied!
Historically, Clay Co has been a tough place to play with their quality teams, tradition, and solid fan base. Also, it was a overnight trip for ther Trinity kids and that always adds uncertainty.
This was a good win for Trinity.
