2 years ago. 6A finals. Trinity vs. ST. X. St. X had won the regular season matchup and was undefeated. Trinity' only loss was to St. X in that game. Classic, very high level game. Trinity won in OT on 4th down. Trinity's Sam Robey was probably the best player on the field (now at Florida). UK's Matt Smith was a standout D Lineman for St. X. Best single game I have ever witnessed. Later on, I tried to figure out why this game was such a spectacle. First was the crowd of about 26,000 at Papa John's Stadium. But the biggest thing was just the sheer size of the teams. Each team fielded over 100 players. It dawned on me that you never see that many players at any level on the field. Not colleges, not the Pros. Just watching both teams warm up before the game was amazing.
