If Mayfield gets the score before half and adds the 7 to start the 3rd qtr' date=' this game likely doesn't come to the very end. Would have been 42 to 21 at that point. Kids for Mayfield were passing out walking off the field... fans in the stands passing out too... puking from both teams... cramping almost every play. Give it up for these kids, they gave it everything until the clock hit zero. Highlights are already up at wpsdlocal6.com/sports[/quote']

 

I agree, the Mayfield fumble in the redzone, a unforced one at that was huge for McCracken as was the 2 point conversion pass they completed in the first half that was tipped away by a Cards defender right in the hands of a different McCracken receiver

 

This was a huge win for us

Very nice win for Mayfield. The Cardinals just keep rolling on.

PT is soft. Mayfield will win by 14+

 

Soft enough to beat McCracken by 1

Very nice win for Mayfield. The Cardinals just keep rolling on.

 

A huge win! I don't see us facing a better team the rest of the season though next Friday will be a daunting task

Personally, after seeing PT and McCracken play, I felt like McCracken may have had the better offense, but, PT had the better defense and kicking game. Tilghman has some serious talent, as does McCracken, but, as is Randy Wyatts staple, they aren't consistent. The problem Mayfield will have next week is that PT always brings it against the Cardinals and this being the 100th anniversary edition and being at McWright Field, has me a little more than worried. Plus, Mayfield's coming off a very physical game. I'm sure Mayfield will also be stoked for this game and I do feel they match up better with Tilghman than they did with McCracken, but, this game could definitely go either way.

WOW a little shocked a the score but that is why they play the game. If it was so hot why would they not wait and played this morning early before the heat. Congrats Cards on a great win in what was a struggle for both teams. JD

Snakesnot_2000, what did I say that made you think I was kidding. I have the most respect for Mayfield I just have a soft spot when kids have to play in the heat. Sorry if I pissed you off. JD

Gonna be hot here....morning , noon and nite.

Okay It has been at least 4 years since I have been to Mayfield and really don't know how the weather is there. Good luck the rest of the year. JD

Congratulations to Mayfield on a great win. And, it sounds like McCracken County is going to be strong pretty much immediately.

Tough to judge with so few 6A teams in this end of the state to watch, but they would certainly be top 10 in any other class. If the Mustangs clean up a few of their mistakes, they are likely to start rolling. It appears that the Henderson/McCracken district game later in the season could be quite entertaining.

Wow, outstanding game by 2 outstanding teams. The heat was a huge factor for both teams and McCracken's depth nearly pulled it out. Credit the Cardinals for coming up with huge defensive plays time and time again when McCracken was driving and the Cards absolutely gassed. Very hard hitting, physical game. Both teams had there big plays and pressured the others D thruout, The Mustangs need to find a kicker for sure as its cost them 2 games already. You'd think with over 1000 boys in the school, they could find somebody who can consistently kick an extra point, at least.

 

Hell, get a girl from the soccer team if you can't get a boy to do it. :ohbrother:

Congrats to Mayfield. Sounded like a great game.
