s Academic Team Wins Seventh Region Governor’s Cup w The Trinity Academic Team achieved a feat not accomplished since 1997. They won the Seventh Region in e Governor’s Cup competition. According to head coach Mr. Mark Amick ’97 , “This success was built on the academic talent and hard work of many individual students, plus the performance of the Trinity Quick Recall N

and Future Problem-Solving teams.”

s Along with Amick, the team was coached by Mr. Jason Rand and Mrs. Judy Waggoner . u The future problem-solving team of Alex Cox, Justin DePrado, Michael Bei and Michael Massey placed

p third. For the second consecutive year, Trinity’s FPS team, coached by Mr. Tim Jones , placed in the top three in the region, an accomplishment that had not happened since 2006-07. m The quick recall team of Sammy Mattingly, Nick Huls, Jack McCalpin, Aden Yeager and Evan

a Baldridge also finished third. The Rocks eliminated Mercy and St. Xavier, going 5-1 against the Tigers on the year, before falling to KCD in the semifinals. C

Amick said Trinity beat the Bearcats twice this year, but they were an excellent opponent and finished the league season as co-champs with Trinity.

In individual testing, the Rocks enjoyed a great depth of talent.

Placing for the Rocks were the following: Jack McCalpin – Region Champion in Language Arts Will Kempf – second in Composition Nick Huls – second in Arts & Humanities and third in Social Studies Sammy Mattingly – third in Science and fourth in Language Arts Christopher Kolibab – fourth in Composition Tom Kalmer – fifth in Science Dylan Fox – fifth in Arts & Humanities

Prior to the regional tournament, the Rocks (right) won the District title making it back-to-back championships in District for the first time since 1997-98!

At the time of print the group (right) was representing Trinity at the state tournament in Louisville.

Awesome!

through a maze; a LEGO Build, where students constructed Power T’s entirely out of LEGOS; a haiku challenge where s students used Story Cubes to write haikus; and a Duct Tape

u Craft Challenge, where participants created wallets made entirely out of duct tape” per House Director Adam Klein . p Gonzaga House’s Todd Crenshaw won the BB-8 droid race, navigating through the course in just thirty-four m seconds.

a The Power T created by Becket House’s Alex Cox was declared

C the best overall design in the LEGO challenge. The captivating haikus of Toussaint House’s Ryan Biddle were rated best by the judges, and the duct tape wallet created by Becket House’s Jay Bruns was voted the most creative and most functional. When the scores were tabulated, Becket House was named the victor of the Makerspace Challenge. Becket finished first with 34 points, Toussaint was second with 30 points and Aquinas was third with 28 points. Klein congratulated the Titans and thanked Mrs. Betsy deGolian, Mr. Tim Jones and Ms. Amy Zuccaro “for their help facilitating and judging the contests.”

Argentinian Exchange Students Arrive In January, seven Argentinian students arrived for a month-long visit to Louisville and Trinity High School. They came along with several girls who will attend Assumption and Mercy. While here, the students were hosted by Trinity families. In late May, our students will visit Argentina for a month and attend school there. It’s currently summer in Argentina, so these students don’t miss classes there. Conversely, our students will be attending during our summer break, but during regular winter classes in Buenos Aires. Since we began this exchange program, our students and families have reaped terrific benefits. All involved become more culturally aware, gain international experience, and form lasting relationships. Many of our students who have since graduated have gone on to study abroad. A few have earned substan - tial scholarships thanks in part to their Argentinian experience. Of course, the greatest gains can’t be fully calculated. “As the world becomes even smaller, these friendships will make for richer adulthoods,” remarked Principal Dr. Dan Zoeller H’07 . “Love and laughter will echo across continents. I’m very proud of our brave new participants and know their brains and hearts are set to grow in ways they can’t imagine.” The guests are pictured with their THS hosts on Founders’ Plaza (right).

Trinity Senior Puts Language Skills to Excellent Use

Trinity senior Tanner Langley put his French to good use at the Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl event held at Assumption High School on February 13.

Trinity world languages teacher Mr. Alan Wilson described the encounter: “At the event, students from various Catholic high schools got to meet and greet immi - grants who have been placed in Louisville by CRS. Tanner met one such immigrant named Pascal, who was from the Congo and did not speak English.

“Tanner discovered that the gentleman spoke his tribal language and French, so Tanner tried out his ‘high school French’ on the new Louisville resident. Pascal was pleased, and they spoke French for about two hours.

“Tanner says it was a ‘rough’ conversation, with some ‘Googling’ of words and phrases and some funny mistakes made. But overall he was a great help to Pascal that evening.”

A proud Wilson, Tanner’s French teacher, said Tanner “interpreted parts of Archbishop (Joseph) Kurtz’s message and, since there was a meal, also got to use French food vocabulary. Tanner said he was speaking in past, present, and future verb tenses. Wow!”

Annual College Fair Held

Trinity juniors will take on the role as leaders of the student body when the class of 2019 departs this May and have already begun to embrace that role. Part of being an upperclassman is planning your future. Trinity’s college counselors Ms. Allie Kerns and Mr. Matt Manning ’86 coordinate an annual college fair in which more than 50 colleges and universities spend an afternoon at Trinity offering information about their respective schools.

This “Finding Your Fit” fair entails juniors investigating what their best fit may be after their high school careers end, without relying on a college’s name. 38 Trinity Junior Porter Hunt C Named NSDA Academic a All-American m

Trinity junior Porter Hunt was named an Academic p

All-American by the National Speech and Debate u Association. s The notification letter stated: “This coveted award recog -

nizes academic rigor, competitive speech and debate N success, and personal excellence.” e From more than 141,000 student members of the NSDA, w fewer than 1,000 students earn this distinction each year. This achievement places Hunt in the top one percent of

all student members across the country. s Hunt Congrats!

s t r o p S k c o r m a h 4 S 3 s Basketball Rocks t Take State! STORY COURTESY OF JASON FRAKES / COURIER-JOURNAL r

o LEXINGTON – As veteran Scott County High School boys basketball coach Billy Hicks put it, Sunday’s state championship game against Trinity came down to one factor. p “They had David Johnson , and we didn’t,” Hicks said. S Johnson, a University of Louisville signee, posted 22 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two assists to lead Trinity to a 50-40 victory over Scott County in the final of the Whitaker Bank/KHSAA Sweet 16 in front of k 11,967 fans at Rupp Arena. c Johnson was named the Sweet 16 MVP as Trinity (30-8) won its second state title, having also defeated Scott

o County in the 2012 championship game. r Trinity coach Mike Szabo said before this year’s tournament that Scott County was the team to beat and didn’t hesitate to call Sunday’s victory an upset. m “I said this morning that it would take our absolute best game to beat them,” said Szabo, who praised his team’s

a chemistry all season. “And that’s probably our best game right there.

h “... We didn’t wither. We were tough with the ball when we needed to be against their pressure. We met the ball and came to it and stayed low with the dribble. We just were very, very strong and in the moment today on both S ends. We needed that today because they’re so good.” Stan Turnier added 17 points, seven rebounds and two steals for the Shamrocks, who had lost to Scott County 54-53 in the first round of last year’s Sweet 16 and 56-53 earlier this season. “It’s exactly what we wanted,” Turnier said. “Some guys on the team said, ‘Oh, we want Scott County to lose.’ Me and David were like, ‘We want them back. We wanted revenge from this year and last year.’” Michael Moreno had 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead Scott County (35-4), which was the state runner-up to Covington Catholic last season. The final was a game of runs — Scott County taking a 7-0 lead, Trinity tying it at 22 at halftime and taking a 29-22 advantage early in the third quarter and Scott County answering with 11 straight points for a 33-29 edge entering the fourth. The Cardinals appeared to have momentum on their side when Moreno scored for a 35-31 lead with 5:46 remaining. But Trinity answered with a 15-0 run that the school’s fans will remember forever. Turnier hit back-to-back 3-pointers, Johnson nailed a 3-pointer and Turnier converted an old-fashioned 3-point play to give the Shamrocks a 43-35 lead with 2:37 left. “It was amazing to see those two go in,” Turnier said of his 3-pointers. “That’s what I’ve been waiting for all four years, for this moment right here.” Kamari Kenemore made a free throw and Jamil Hardaway completed the run with two free throws for a 46-35 lead with 1:22 remaining, and the Trinity celebration was imminent. Glenn Covington’s 3-pointer pulled the Cardinals within 47-40 with 48.8 seconds left, but that’s as close as it would get. “In the beginning of the fourth quarter we came out fired up,” Johnson said. “In our minds, we knew we were going to win the game. That’s what we did.” And Hicks said Johnson was the reason. “We wanted to work him hard for 32 minutes and hope we could wear him down and cause him to miss some shots,” Hicks said. “But he did it on offense and defense. He hit some tough 3s. Who in this gym hits any better? I don’t see Kentucky come out and hit shots like that. “He had a great game.” 44 SCOTT COUNTY 12 10 11 7 – 40 S

Way to go, Rocks!

45 Trinity Tennis to Relocate to New Home s

t Trinity Tennis has called Top Gun Tennis Academy (TGA) home for the past nine years. Recently, our Tennis r Coach Chris Mather ’86 and his family, the owners of the TGA property, received a wonderful offer to sell TGA and the surrounding property to the business enterprise that owns all of the remaining land in that area. o It was an offer they simply could not pass up. p As a result of the property sale, Trinity Tennis will relocate its S

home facility and base of operations to the other Mather ten - nis facility, the Springhurst Tennis Center. Moving to k Springhurst should be an easy transition for the Tennis

c Rocks. The relocation provides an additional benefit to Trinity in the form of indoor courts, helping to avoid o weather-related scheduling issues that are often a part

r of the late winter and early spring high school tennis season. m The Tennis Rocks are coming off an impressive season that

a saw them win the 7th Region and finish fourth at state.

h This should be an exciting spring 2019 for the Tennis Rocks! S

Strength & Conditioning Coach Mike Snyder ’02 Leads the Way

Trinity Strength and Conditioning Coach, Mike Snyder ’02 , hosted the first Kentucky NHSSCA coaches clinic on February 23 in the Marshall Center.

The event provided an opportunity for high school strength coaches from around Kentucky to benchmark other schools, share best practices and pursue professional development. Mike is a well-respected leader among his peer group in Kentucky and around the country. Mike serves as the state director for the NHSSCA and is often nominated for regional and national awards in his field.

In addition to serving all of our athletic teams, Mike teaches physical conditioning classes.

Cross Country Coach Scott Holzknecht ’97 Named Coach-of-the-Year

On January 21, Trinity Cross Country Head Coach Scott Holzknecht ’97 was named the Kentucky High School Boys Cross Country Coach of the Year by the USA Cross Country Coaches Association. This follows the same honor awarded to Scott earlier by the Kentucky Chapter of this Coaches Association.

Fresh off the heels of a cross-country state championship, Scott and his track and field coaching staff are preparing for the 2019 spring track season where the Rocks will attempt to win back-to-back state track & field championships.

Pictured is Coach Holzknecht and his father, Kent ’69 , right, with the aforementioned state championship trophies. Way to go, Scott! 46 i s T P W c b T a T h T c T A w I H E J P T J p s t a T t t u J J S b F L g T M J J a w h J b s o w r t i c o o l w n r o o o o o o o i u e t l p i o o o r r h r u u h u e n f

r Archery Photo credits Chad Waggoner Trinity Athletic Photos o At the time of print, the Archery Rocks (right) had participated in

p 12 meets heading into the postseason. Of the 12 meets participated in, Coaches Rick and Kathleen McCauley guided the team to S

finish 1st in nine of them, with two second-place finishes and one fourth. Trinity competes with Mercy Academy as a team through - k out the season. c The body of work all season led them to winning the Region 6 title o on February 23 earning a spot in the state tournament. Senior r Austin Hirtzel has led the Rocks with multiple top-3 finishes. m

a Bowling h The Bowling Rocks saw their season come to an end with a valiant fourth-

S place finish at the regional tournament in January. Under the leadership of Coach John McCarthy ’07 the team saw much progress throughout the season and ended the regular season with back-to-back victories over Fern Creek and winning the North Bullitt Invitational.

Junior Brent Padgett was the overall Region 4 champion as he defeated a bowler from Manual by a score of 234-194 in the championship match. Padgett’s victory earned him a spot at the KHSAA state tournament where he finished 17th. Padgett

Ice Hockey

The Ice Hockey Rocks enjoyed an incredible run this season competing against the top teams in the region. Under the leadership of Head Coach Geoff Norman the season saw many victories and successes as the team put together a strong postseason run that saw the team fall in sudden- death overtime of the semifinals of the state tournament. The team had defeated Team Lexington 4-2 in the quarter - finals earlier in the week.

The team members commented after the season that they will take away incredible memories from the season and the team returns a slew of underclassmen looking to make another run next season.

48 S

Swim & Dive h The Swim & Dive Rocks had an incredibly successful season that culmi - nated in another Region 5 championship and a second-consecutive a

fourth place finish at the KHSAA state meet. Coach Mike Essig ’85 m and Wayne Kraus ’85 lead the Rocks from a coaching standpoint.

Trinity senior Hunter Tapp was named the Outstanding Meet r

Competitor, while also winning two individual state championship o events in the 50 and 100 freestyle, setting new state records in each event. Hunter was named first-team all-state, while fellow senior c

Jacob Dray was named second-team all-state. Jacob also set a k

new school record during the meet in the 100-meter butterfly.

S p

Wrestling o

r t Head Coach Patrick Fleming and the Wrestling Rocks competed at the state tournament in Lexing- s ton in February. The Rocks saw two wrestlers finish in the top ten as junior Landon Lenhart placed fifth at 145 while sophomore Ty Lehman placed seventh at 138. Despite injuries and illness to key wrestlers down the stretch of the season, the team continued to battle and will return quite a few high performing underclassmen to next year’s squad.

Well played, Trinity!

49 s **** SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW **** t

r Baseball

o Head Coach: Rick Arnold ’86, 5th season

p 2018 season recap: Record of 28-7 S

Season Outlook: k The team must replace eight position starters, and

c most of the innings pitched, from the graduating class of 2018. Sophomore Daylen Lile is viewed as one of the best o hitting high school baseball players in the region. The pitching r staff will be anchored by Kaelin Racculia and Grant Brunstet - ter . Ricardo Martinez, Nick Thompson and Josh Castle -

m man will push to be top end pitchers on the staff as well. Several everyday position battles will be decided during pre-

a season practices.

h The Baseball Rocks had a busy off season and worked hard to

S prepare for the 2019 campaign. With inexperience at the varsity level, and a very challenging slate of regular season games, the team could experience a few early season bumps in the road before settling in for a postseason run. The new Trinity Baseball stadium is open and ready for competition. This state-of-the-art facility will provide a wonderful setting for players, coaches and fans and the 100% artificial turf playing surface will enable practices and games in almost all weather conditions.

We are blessed to have had the opportunity to form such a wonderful, long term partnership with the City of St. Matthews and the St. Matthews Little League . Thanks to the Trinity School and Foundation Boards for their support and to the many Trinity donors who have contributed to this effort.

Bass Fishing Head Coaches: Mike Chancellor ’75; 7th year and Greg Dulaney; 4th year 2018 season recap: Regional Tournament: Lake Cumberland. Two, 2-man teams qualified for the state tournament (29 total qualifiers out of 174) finishing 20th and 28th at the State Tournament at Kentucky Lake. Hayden Bailey and Justin Risk placed 20th; Dalton McCauley and Michael Livendale placed 50th. Returning Regional Anglers: Hayden Bailey (Sr), Justin Risk (Sr), Michael Livendale (Sr), Dylan McCauley (Jr), Trent Thomas (So) Season Outlook: The 2019 Trinity Bass Fishing team has four returning state anglers from the 2018 campaign. These four anglers will lead the team of twelve. The goal is to qualify multiple teams on Lake Cumberland during the regional competition in April and then move forward to the state tournament on Kentucky Lake in May.

50 Lacrosse S Head Coach: Pete Schroeder H ’16, 18th season h

2018 season recap: a

State Runner-up m Season Outlook:

After graduating 20 seniors in 2018, the Lacrosse Rocks will have r many new faces in new roles at the varsity level in 2019. These new o faces have been promoted from a very successful JV squad. The play - ers have put in the work and are ready for play at the varsity level. Returning as two- c year varsity starters are seniors Will Warner and Ben Taylor . The Rocks will lean on their k leadership as the team progresses through the season and players grow into new roles. For success, the team will depend upon consistent work in practices, attention to detail and unselfish play. S As always, the Shamrocks will play a challenging regional schedule against teams from seven states. Highlight - p ing the out-of-state schedule will be trips to McCallie (TN), Cincinnati Moeller, Cincinnati St. Xavier and Culver

Military Academy (IN). The Rocks will host strong opponents such as Montgomery Bell Academy (TN), Pope o (GA), St. Rita (IL), St. Louis University HS, (MO) and Turpin (OH). Trinity will also play rival St. Xavier and a full slate of Kentucky schools as the team works to contend for another state title. r t s

Rugby Head Coach: Richard Plouffe Jr. ’99, 2nd season as Head Coach, 6th season overall 2018 season recap: State Runner-up – Kentucky; 3rd Place Deep South Conference – Rugby (Indiana) Season Outlook: Coach Kelsey Harris and Coach Plouffe are extremely excited about the upcoming 2019 Trinity Rugby season. The season begins with the annual trip to Nashville to play in one of the more prestigious high school rugby tournaments in the South (Nash Bash). Trinity has gone undefeated at Nash Bash for three-straight years. The 2019 season brings successful programs to the schedule, renews some old rivalries here in Kentucky and, of course, sees tough Rugby Indiana conference play. Some of the high-profile road games are at Moeller High School (OH), Louisville St. X, Central Kentucky Spartans and Columbus High School (IN). The squad will take on a strong Rugby Indiana Conference schedule that includes Avon HS (IN) and Columbus HS (IN). Team goals are to win State in Kentucky and to ensure a rightful spot in the 2019 Rugby Indiana State Playoffs.

Tennis Head Coach: Chris Mather ’86, 11th season 2018 season recap: State 4th place; Region 7 Champion; Brandon and Michael Chou State Doubles Runner-up’s

Season Outlook: Trinity Tennis will move its home base of operations this spring from the Top Gun Tennis Academy to the Tennis Club at Springhurst. Moderator Shayne Hull will join Coach Mather and Coach Cruse as an official member of the tennis coaching staff. With a new KHSAA regional alignment going in to place this season, the Tennis Rocks are ex - cited to face a three-way battle with St. X and DuPont Manual for both regional and state championships. The Rocks are scheduling some of the best teams in the region, including Ohio, Illinois, and Tennessee schools. The team will also compete again in the Decoturf National High School Championship in Chattanooga, TN, against some of the top schools in the Southeast. Last year Trinity captured the championship in the “D” division of the Decoturf and this year will be competing in the “B” Division. The year-end goal is once again to compete for KHSAA state championships in both singles and doubles. 51 Track & Field s Head Coach: Scott Holzknecht ’97, 4th season t

r 2018 season recap: KHSAA State Champions o Season Outlook:

p The Trinity state champion squad of 2018 won individual state championships in five separate events—all of those titles were claimed by graduated seniors. The S

2019 team will be made up of a mixture of seniors and underclassmen.

k Jack Baum, Shane Williams, Nick Lewis, Ryan O’Dea , and Nick

c Michels look to maintain the momentum gained last year in the distance events. They will take lessons learned from their cross country state champion- o ship in the fall and hope to establish themselves as some of the best distance r runners in the state in the 800, 1600 and 3200 events. Jack Baum was state runner-up in the 800 in 2018 and boasts one of the top returning times in the 1600 (where he is #2 on Trinity’s

m all-time rankings).

a Beyond the distance athletes, a mainstay of Trinity track and field over the past decade has been its excellent sprint relay corps; this year promises to be no different as junior anchors Elijah Moore and James Moore look h to surround themselves with some up-and-coming talent in the freshman and sophomore classes. S Our field athletes are led by Julian Pirtle who seeks to move beyond his triple jumping excellence into the sprints and hurdles. Sophomore standout Alton Jefferson has shown pre-season signs of being able to burst onto the stage as a premier young thrower in the state.

Heading into 2019, Trinity Track and Field has many questions to answer, but the talent and hard work displayed by the group so far promises good things ahead.

Volleyball Head Coach: Kelly Gillooly, 2nd season Associate Head Coach: Matt Thomerson, 2nd season

Season Outlook: The Volleyball Rocks welcome back a number of seniors from last year’s varsity roster, along with several very talented underclassmen. Another strong freshman class helps Trinity Volleyball continue to grow. Roster numbers are up at the freshmen, junior varsity and varsity levels. The season opens with the Cathedral High School tournament in Indianapolis and continues with a competitive regional schedule to include St. X, DeSales and Floyd Central. Other competitive matches will include Carmel (IN), Fishers (IN), Roncalli (IN) as well as Cincinnati Moeller, Centerville (OH), Oak Hills (OH), La Salle (OH) and Bishop Watterson (OH). In April, the team will return

to the Spike for Tykes tournament in Mount y l Union, Ohio. o o
