No team was more dominant in the state of Kentucky during the last decade than the Trinity Shamrocks, who continued their reign on the Kentucky High School Football landscape by earning the title “Team of the Decade” in the state. Trinity won seven state championships, reached the state finals on nine occasions and were ranked in the final USA Today Super 25 Rankings three times, including a fourth place finish in 2002, the highest in state history.

A DECADE OF DOMINANCE
No team came close to matching the success of the Trinity Shamrocks during the decade that spanned from 2000-2009.
• Trinity won seven of the 10 state championship games contested during the decade and appeared in nine of the 10 state championship games contested in the highest class in the state of Kentucky.
• The Shamrocks have won two of the three Class AAAAAA title games that have been played.
• Trinity senior quarterback Brian Brohm was named the USA Today National Offensive Player of the Year and Kentucky’s Mr. Football in 2003. He was also featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2002.
• Trinity was ranked in the final USA Today Super 25 Poll on three occasions during the decade, finishing second in 2002, 23rd in 2007 and 13th in 2008. No other team in state history has been ranked that many times in a single decade in state history and only one other school has been ranked more times in their program’s history than the Rocks were in this decade alone. The three appearances in the poll added to their state record six USA Today Super 25 finishes.
• Trinity’s 126-20 record was the best in the state of Kentucky during the 10-year period. Boyle County followed with a 121-20 mark and St. Xavier registered a 119-18 mark.
• The Shamrocks compiled a 44-3 record in the playoffs, including win streaks of 24 and 16 games.
• Before the 2009 season even started, Trinity had already registered its most wins in a single decade in school history. The 126 wins during the 2000’s bested the 115 wins compiled during the 1980’s.
• The 2000s marked the first time in program history that the Shamrocks have won at least 10 games in every season of the decade. The best mark previously was seven during the 1980s and 1990s.
