WHEREAS, Trinity's 45-19 victory over Louisville Male in front of 20,000 fans at the Old Cardinal Stadium in Louisville was highlighted by 33 consecutive Trinity points, which turned a 13-12 Trinity deficit into a 45-13 Trinity blowout; and

WHEREAS, Trinity was led to the championship by head coach Bob Beatty, who in two years at the school has amassed a record of 26 wins against only 3 losses; and

WHEREAS, the individual offensive stars in the championship game for this Trinity team were many and included quarterback Brian Brohm, who passed for a school record 377 yards with three touchdown passes, running back DeQuese May, who rushed for 144 yards and scored four touchdowns, and receivers Alex Hennessey, with four catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and TaShawn McBroom, with two catches for 124 yards and a touchdown; and
