Trinity High School announces its 2023-24 varsity basketball schedule. The schedule will feature top competition from Kentucky and around the Midwest, two nationally respected holiday tournaments and the always challenging Louisville Invitational Tournament.
As part of the regular season game schedule, the Basketball Rocks will take on several top 20 programs from within Kentucky and Indiana to include Ballard, Bardstown, Cathedral, DeSales, Fern Creek, Lexington Catholic, Male and Madison Central. A January showdown with rival St. Xavier at Bellarmine University is also on the schedule.
The tournament schedule is as strong as ever and will see Trinity return to the King of the Bluegrass, recognized as one of the top high school holiday tournaments in the country, a tournament that the Rocks have won twice before (2009, 2016), the All-State Sugar Bowl Invitational in New Orleans, and the Louisville Invitational Tournament (LIT), featuring the top teams within metro Louisville.
Once the post season begins, Trinity will face competition in the 7th Region, as challenging a region as any in Kentucky, as the team competes for yet another regional crown and a trip to the KHSAA Sweet 16.
Director of Athletics Rob Saxton stated, “We are excited about such an interesting and competitive schedule. Our coaches, players and fans are in store for top notch basketball.”
Head Coach Mike Szabo said, “The strength of this schedule reflects our level of competitiveness. We have a talented group of returning players from a team that went 24-8 and ended the season just short of a Region title. We have excellent balance across our roster. Our players embrace the level of commitment needed to become a special team. We have our sights set on a return to the state tournament. That is our goal, and we look forward to the challenge that comes with it.”
From Shamrocks Senior Drae Vasser, “This team is hungry to capture a Region Championship. Our eyes are set on Rupp Arena. We have a great mix of upper classmen and younger players. I am so excited to play with this bunch of guys. We want to be a special team. Go Rocks.”
