Final

Total Domination. Graves gets 2 final td's with their 1st team against Mayfield's freshmen. No answer for Jackson, he had 5 td's and 158 yrds rushing in the 1st half.

Total utter domination!

Wow!!! Ok I eat crow... Really thought Graves would keep it close and have a shot at the end. Heard Jackson put on a show and was running wild. Congratulation Mayfield on an impressive win.

Go Big Red!!!!!!

Mayfield rolls easy

MAYFIELD — It was close to perfection. Mayfield’s first-half offensive worksheet was nary a red mark

— six possessions produced six touchdowns and a commanding 42-14 halftime lead en route to a 56-28 rout of crosstown rival

Graves County on Friday night that wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. At least the blue-clad half of the

overflow crowd at Eagle Field, while certainly not happy with the development, got to see a finely-tuned, well-oiled machine

at work. “We were 6-for-6? It would be hard to do better than that,” said quarterback Jake Guhy, who completed 10 of 12 passes for 161

yards in the first half. “I would like to think we could do better.” Really, Jake? “Well, maybe not,” he responded with a smile. Jonathan Jackson rushed for

163 yards and five touchdowns in the first half alone, while Guhy connected with five different receivers. The tally for the fi rst two

quarters included 17 first downs and a whopping 351 yards in total offense for a Mayfield club (4-1) that has certainly justfied its preseason

No. 1 ranking in Class A. “The first couple of weeks, we had a couple of new linemen we were breaking in and a couple of

new receivers, and it took everybody a little time to get it down,” Guhy said. “I thought we would be pretty good, but we’re playing really

well. Really well.” Actually, the first quarter had a little suspense. After Mayfield scored on its opening possession,

sophomore Joey Marshall returned the ensuing kickoff 91 yards to put the Eagles (2-2) ahead 7-6, and tailback

Zach Katzman (24 carries, 185 yards) broke a 58-yard run that cut the lead to 21-14 less than 11

minutes into the game.

Very impressive win. Still need to shore some things up on D, but, that offense is a juggernaut. The thing that impresses me about there offense is the rythm they get in. You rarely see a negative play. In a few of those 1st half drives, they didn't have a single play under 5 yards. It's like 18 yd pass, 9 yd run, 6 yd run, 13 yd pass, 11 yd run, 7 yd run, 10 yd pass, then a score and they do it all in a no huddle, hurry up style, so, the defense is constantly on its heels. Even when they get backed up by a penalty and have 3rd & long, it's like no big deal to them. They just call a different play to extend the field a little more. They're very efficient, Guhy's extremely accurate and they have alot of quality receivers that you have to account for, then add Jackson steadily & brutely pounding the defense on the ground and it's a hell of a combination. You sometimes get the feeling that they could score anytime they want to, but, prefer to eat some clock, keep the D fresh and get everyone involved. Barring key injuries, the way they can score, they're gonna be a tough, tough team to knock off, come playoff time.

Barring key injuries it's theirs to lose

Running D was a little spotty at times, looked great and next play would give up a big chunk. Give some credit to Katzman, one of the better backs on this end of the state. Got a very good performance from the secondary, the one pass interference call was even questionable. This is not the same stingy D from the past few seasons, but when you can put up points almost at will, it's not that big of a concern as it otherwise would be. There is still room for improvement though, and I'm sure the D will keep improving. Offense, as mentioned above, tearing it up. When you can throw up over 50 on Graves Co., almost did the same to Paducah, and scored as many points on Murray in a quarter as they had given up all season, that's saying something.

Mayfield fans------Is this team the best of the last 3 years?
