Trimble Trivia 2010

Told you that #5 would be easy. Yes that's Tommy Hardy in the picture during his senior year when the Tomcats went with the Alabama look for the helmet decals.

We'll have some more pictures later

The final aspect of question #4, UC did beat the Utah State Aggies for their bowl victory

#6 For four years, the 2000 64-0 victory over Green was the school record for largest margin of victory. Name the two players that scored three touchdowns in that game.

Jesse Brunton
Jeff Trace

Jrs. in 2000 Jesse and Jeff are incorrect

The correct answer is one Sr. for the 2000 season, and one Jr. in the 2000 season

I was in the middle of a drinking binge for the 2000 to 2003 seasons, so I don't remember much of those years...so I'll take a stab at it. Justin Guinther and AJ Jenkins. I was gonna go Phillip Faires but I'll stick with Guinther and Jenkins.

Justin Guinther was the leading receiver for the game, but didn't score a TD. (he did have a 2- conversion)

A.J. Jenkins score once in this game, as a Freshman

Phil Faires was a senior on the 1999 team

Hints:
The Junior, while a good offensive player, was better known as a defensive player

The Senior, was better known for another fall sport

Patton and Andrews

Sultan is correct, Trent Patton scored the first TD, then three by Kyle Andrews, then Patton scored the next two, giving them three a piece.

#7 Identify the year, and the individuals that made up this Tomcat coaching staff (could be really easy for some of you)

Phil Faires and Tim Sikorski are easy. Don't know the other 2.

Thanks for making me relive the nightmare

Mark Green & Barry Litteral Tim Sikorski,coach Faires 1986

Phathead and Mecum's Garage combined for the correct answer

Now for a tough one

#9) Five players have caught more than 20 passes and averaged 20 or more yards a catch name them

5) _______________ 34 receptions, 20 yards per catch average

**Hint, no receivers on this graduated in the 1960s or 1970s**

Josh Limo has to be in there some where. Kittle and Phillip Faires.

Phillip faires
Josh limo
Scott Holbert
Greg Holbert
reuben kittle

I think Mulford and Zach Shust are on there.

Got ahead of myself, this is question #8 not #9, updated with some hints

1) _______________ 22 receptions, 28 yards per catch average (Played in the 1990s)

Reuben Kittle 89 receptions, 15.3 yards per catch average
Phillip Faires 94 receptions, 13.3 yards per catch average
Josh Limo 54 receptions, 10.9 yards per catch average

Chris Craig
alex Shust
jerod McClelland

The 80's guy is me or Mark Campbell

The 00's I'll go with B. Barrett

90's I'll take a stab with Cody McCoy

One correct answer, added the hint of jersey numbers to the remaining two. I will say you probably be surprised at the two answers that remain, BTW neither of them caught a pass until their senior season.

#8) Five players have caught more than 20 passes and averaged 20 or more yards a catch name them

1) _______________ 22 receptions, 28 yards per catch average (Played in the 1990s wore #20)

2) Zach Shust (Sultan) 49 receptions, 21 yards per catch average

3) Scott Holbert (The Big Donkey) 95 receptions, 20.3 yards per catch average

4) Mark Campbell (Sultan) 36 receptions, 20.2 yards per catch average

5) _______________ 34 receptions, 20 yards per catch average (Played in the 2000s wore #10)

Was it Cory Lewis in the 90's?

Because he said his password wasn't working, Coach Oz by phone answered the final two

#8) Five players have caught more than 20 passes and averaged 20 or more yards a catch name them

1) Brian Camechis (Coach Oz) 22 receptions, 28 yards per catch average (Played in the 1990s wore #20)

2) Zach Shust (Sultan) 49 receptions, 21 yards per catch average

3) Scott Holbert (The Big Donkey) 95 receptions, 20.3 yards per catch average

4) Mark Campbell (Sultan) 36 receptions, 20.2 yards per catch average

5) R.J. Andrews (Coach Oz) 34 receptions, 20 yards per catch average (Played in the 2000s wore #10)

#9) On trimblefootball.com I have the top ten career rushing, passing, and receiving yard leaders. Name the #11's (number 11 on the list in career yards rushing, etc) For reference http://www.trimblefootball.com/careerstats.html

Rushing Jonathan Hooper
recieving????????
Passing Justin Guinther

Passing - Floyd Russell
Rushing - Ernie Chalfant
Recieving - LR Faires

No correct answers so far, incorrect guesses have been:

Rushing Jonathan Hooper - Hooper is not one of the top 20 rushers in school history, had he not suffered from a persistent knee injury during his career he would have surely made the list. Tough, Strong, and hardworking player.

Passing Justin Guinther - not in the top 20 passing, split starts with Bob Trace in 2000, good athlete or as a person as old as I am would say good "slash" player

Passing - Floyd Russell - don't have stats from the 1960's although Floyd in many cases was the lone bright spot on many bad Friday nights for the Tomcats (2 wins his junior and senior year)

Rushing - Ernie Chalfant - again don't have stats from the 1960's early 1970's (although I'm sure they exist somewhere, Conklin came to Trimble in I think 1968) #30 for the MOVC Champions would have split carries with Roger Jenkins, Greg Irwin, and Byron Guinther

Recieving - LR Faires - not ranked in the top 20, L.R. will tell you that he wished he played more football in high school. He played his Freshman year, then concentrated on basketball for two years, before returning to football his senior season, leading the 'Cats with 219 yards receiving that year.

Hints
#11 in rushing yards: Was on only one winning team in his high school career
#11 in passing yards: Was starting quarterback for his junior and senior seasons
#11 in receiving yards: Did not play wide receiver

rush- dennis osborne
pass-denny davis
rec- jared mcClelland

Denny Davis with 1,806 career passing yards is #11 on the career passing list, so Mecum's Garage got that correct.

Coach Oz rushed for 867 yards, putting him 17th on the rushing list
Despite being a key figure in the '89 team's undefeated season, Jared McClelland is not on the list of top 20 receivers

More hints for the rushing and receiving

Rushing: He rushed for 30 more yards than the man who finished 12th on the list, a close relative of his.

Receiving: The quarterback on his team was first team all-ohio their senior season. (for the record we have only had 5 QB's FIRST TEAM all-ohio as seniors, all-state info is on trimblefootball.com)
