Crazy

Call me crazy, but overall, from 1A-6A, it is better football up here.

Maybe a little crazy, I would say overall you may be correct, 1A has been dominated by Mayfield the past several years. In 2A I would stack NewCath up against anyone, we aren't represented by any 3A teams, 4A well that's easy Highlands and CovCath in a landslide, 5A....No one can hold a candle to Bowling Green, that leaves 6A, I would have to give the nod to NKY in that division. I realize McKracken (Spelling) is pretty darn good, but I would put SK, Dixie and Campbell County against them any time. Just my random thoughts.

You people always think it's better football up there. Beechwood in the past several years can't hold a candle to Mayfield.

No argument there, I was merely pointing out the fact that Beechwood also plays up, with the exception being their district schedule. In no way was I trying to discount what Mayfield has been the past several years....the best team in 1A. But I do stand behind my statement that they would fare no better against CovCath than Beechwood has....well maybe they would score another touchdown, but they would not win, IMO.

Sorry to burst yours, but, actual results on the field says different. Mayfield has beaten Beechwood as bad as CC has the past few years, which pretty much tells me they'd be very competitive with them. Also, I'd take McCracken to beat Dixie by a couple of scores. Considering the rankings in every poll, I think most would agree. I think CC and McCracken would be a good game that could go either way, I'd probably favor McCracken by a field goal. I'd probably take CC over Belfry but would put the Pirates slightly ahead of Dixie. The Tigers need to play a competitive game to be considered any higher in the rankings, plain and simple.

 

You are delusional, in 2011 Mayfield beat Beechwood by 4 points, you want to call that a blowout? IMO McCracken would loose to both Dixie and CovCath, and if you think Belfry can beat Dixie, well you must not have seen them play....or at least play any game besides CovCath.

Covington Catholic 42-20.

You are wrong in your comment comparing Beechwood games versus Mayfield and Covington Catholic. Beechwood has been very competitive in each of their last four games versus Mayfield except in the 2009 38-0 loss. In the last 3 games played, Beechwood was in the game into the second half. In 2012, Beechwood led most of the first half and Mayfield needed a last second TD run by Jackson to tie the game at half. In 2011, Beechwood was winning at halftime and ended the game on a controversial last second of the game play just short of scoring the go ahead TD with the ball on about the 10 yard line. In 2010, it was a close game at halftime when Mayfield returned the second half kickoff for a TD and then in the 4th quarter was able to run the ball for a couple more scores to pull away. Those were all close, hard fought games with Mayfield pulling away in the fourth quarter to get wins.

 

Against Covington Catholic, only in 2010 has Beechwood been as close to winning. In 2009, 2011 and 2012 I would say Covington Catholic was a better team than Mayfield.

 

That history tells me if Beechwood somehow beats Covington Catholic, they are a very serious challenger this year that Mayfield should get more concerned about than usual. If Beechwood plays a competitive game and it is close in the second half, I would feel good about Beechwood's chances at winning a title. If it is similar to most of the recent years and Covington Catholic is in control of the game at halftime and not challenged in the second half, Mayfield fans can feel confident that they are in the driver's seat.

I've only felt BW had one chance to win and that was 2011. I think Mayfield is in the drivers seat right...maybe with just one hand on the wheel.

So...back to Cov Cath vs Beechwood...

 

How many Tigers play both ways and at what positions?

 

What are the match ups and where might one team have an advantage over the other?

I guess I am one of the few that see this game going either way. CCH has an oppt to show they have a short memory and the season restarts Saturday.

I think the only players that are playing almost all the downs both ways are Studer RB/WR/DB, Combs OT/DE, Slusher WR/LB and Jeremy Burns WR/CB. Other players will play both ways a little but primarily play on one side of the ball. Those are the ones I can think of. I am sure other posters will correct me if I missed someone.

Go Tigers.

I'll be curious to hear how the crowd is. Between a Saturday afternoon, the weather, and it being on Channel 64 live might be a smaller crowd than usual.

CCH buy a bunch. It's Sat afternoon and a chilly fall day. Just what Coach Ray ordered. 42-14 Colonels!

Everyone gives Covcath a free pass and lumps them in as a good team with Highlands. Its not Highlands and Covcath every year. It's just Highlands. Covcath hasn't done anything in almost a decade.

 

Wait. I take that back. They did have a Pajama Day!!!bahaha
