As an athlete and student in the class of 2024, I wondered about the St. X versus Trinity rivalry — one of the most historic at the high school level. Although I haven’t been around to witness the entirety of the rivalry since its beginning, I researched what it has looked like in my lifetime. Compiled below are the stats of the rivalry in soccer, baseball, basketball, and football in the twenty-first century.
These sports were chosen because they had accurate stats on the KHSAA website and these sports had annual head-to-head competitions.
