Trinity is certainly the favorite, but they have a potentially rough road to a state title. Bullitt East has beaten Trinity in a preseason scrimmage, and is playing pretty well, so that 1st round game will be tough. Then they'll most likely face GRC in round 2, a team that is surprisingly good and brings plenty of experience that Trinity won't have. In round 3, they'll be looking at Rowan County, a team that was 1 shot away from a state title last year, with 2 of their best players back. If all goes well for Trinity, then they'll face Scott County in the finals, not a fun task.

You must be thinking of last years GRC team. GRC returns only 7% of last years team scoring. Charlie Roger is the only returning player that scored in the State tourney last year , with 1 point. Bopper Stenzel is the only returning starter. He only scored 87 points last year as his role was to feed the big guys. This year he is GRC's leading scorer averaging around 18 a game. You have Howard that wasn't even on the team and playing at the Y. Lack of varsity experience was what GRC was facing coming into this years season. Why they were not ranked or considered to be a regional contender pre-season. They lost 8 seniors from last years team.
