still 55

As far as preseason #1, I wouldn’t even come close to that. If OC keeps their qb, big if, they are #1. If they don’t, Beechwood is #1. I do think Mayfield will reach the semis again. However, that has a lot to do with the RPI. I suspect the Cards will lose at least a couple of their first five games. That could really hurt in the RPI.

I listened to the Homers Radio Show after this game. The comment was made about this very play and how our db mugged the OC receiver and the refs didn’t call it. I thought I saw the OC wr grab Kirby by the facemask and pull him out of bounds because he was in better position to catch the ball.

That game don’t count. It’s best left out of the memory back. We just were state runners up that year. No score.

We obviously should be down some. However, We return a lot of talent and our freshmen linemen are huge. The approach may change a bit but, they will still be contenders. We hardly ever miss the semifinals.

42-7

I forgot about that game. I was there. Thank you. Just slipped my mind. Thanks for bringing up bad memories. I’m gonna have nightmares tonight.

Whew, I am tired. I knew I needed to be in peak physical condition if we wanted to win this game.

I have watched almost every game since 1995. Your question got me to thinking. I think it would have been in 2007 or so when Ft Campbell had a good program. No one wanted to play them in the bowl game at Marshall County and Coach Joe spoke and said we would. We were tied or real close to tied at halftime. In the second half they came out at put at running clock on us. That was when it took at least a 42 point lead to get a running clock.

Exciting game. MHS could use a slow time consuming touchdown drive as soon as second half starts.

Listen again.

I’m not expecting anyone cowering. We want their best. However, I guarantee you that you would never hear Coach Joe Morris or any of his players get on any sports radio or television show and guarantee they were gonna win. Me on the other hand, yeah I might. Because, as everyone will tell you, I am forever the optimist. Plus, I seen enough of this over the years that I know in most cases when I hang my hat on the Cards, they win

After listening to that show, I’m scared to show up. They are gonna have the biggest crowd of any team at state by 6 times. They have the best qb in the state Atwell. They have the best lb in the state Vince Carrico. They also have the best player in the state Tutt Carrico. They all told us there isn’t any chance of Mayfield winning. So, why even get up and drive 4 plus hours to watch? If it rains, they are just going to run all over us. Juju is only good at stretch plays, they can shut him down by making him cut it back to the middle. Cartwright is only slightly better at qb than the Owensboro qb.

As was Combs. If memory serves me correct, that year he led 2a in passing and was a large portion of their run game. He had a slew of receivers and a very good rb.

The last time the Cards went into the state championships against an undefeated team that had a running qb and was favored, that I can remember was 2010. It didn’t go well for Hazard that day.

We only beat the Ads one time, 2002 at their place in the semis enroute to a state championship. Back on topic though. Even though OC outscored Hendo by 6 more than the Cards did, the difference in yardage was exactly the same. Had MHS not knelt on the ball at the end, they could have outscored them by more and would surely have outgained them by more.
