Joe Cole, Trinity Christian football delivers Jackson Christian first TSSAA loss
For his first two seasons with Trinity Christian's football team, Joe Cole waited patiently for his opportunity in the Lions' backfield. As a freshman, Cole sat behind current Louisville freshman Lekhy Thompson. After Thompson left for IMG Academy in 2025, Cole sat as the backup to Hank Miller, who went on to play at Carson-Newman. Now, as a Junior, Cole is seizing his chance to be the Lions' lead running back. He rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns as TCA (5-1, 3-1 in DII-A West) handed Jackson Christian (6-1, 2-1) its first loss of the season, 28-14, on Oct. 1.

Cole gained 143 of his yards in the second half and had five straight carries to seal the game on the Lions’ final drive. “I was ready,” Cole said. “I knew tonight was going to be one of those nights, got to pound them in the mouth.
