Wow, what intensity.
Guru, I think you have some unsolved issues with Mayfield. You don't seem to want to give them the credit they deserve. For any of their teams. The 95' team was better than Beechwood. Not saying the tigers were bad, they were a good team, however Mayfield was better.As far as the 98' team against Middlesboro, the Yellowjackets were a better team. They, in my opinion, were severly underated that season. When we saw we were playing them we did not know who they were. They sure showed us who they were. In 93'', my senior year, we beat a strong p-burg team that had our # all game. We found a way to win because we had complete team, poor ole p-burg did not have a good kicking game and it cost them the state title.
Now I have a question for those of you who were at the 94' state title game. I heard that the Beechwood QB threw the ball in the air as the time expired and a Murray defender caught it in the end zone. The officials called it a safety when it was accually a touchdown, that would have given Murray the win. That is what I heard. Now please no Beechwood fans answer because YOU ARE BIASED. Only people who were not fans of either team shoud answer unless you can be completely objective. I am not saying this is the truth, just what I heard. I would like to hear the truth.
I still think that Beechwood was better than Murray, a whole lot better. Murray just had an unbelieveable game.
Hop-town beating the 95' team was a fluke. Mayfield was the better team as they were in every game they played that year. Hop-town had a tremendous team and we thought for sure they would be playing for a state title. But the Mayfield team that beat that East ST. Louis team had to be the best ever.
