I heard some stats on the way home earlier, and think I heard them say Carruthers had 14 carries for 36 yds. That was Graves County radio, so I'm not sure how accurate they were. If this is correct, that's pretty darn good defense.

Congratulations to the Eagles.

Absolutely shocked on this one...

 

Is this a misprint? Makes no sense to me as to how BG could lose this one

 

Congrats GC

Do you all have a football team at Mayfield?

 

Come on Bird, you know Mayfield is the street you drive down to get to Highland Hills Park. Sheesh

Once a Purple

 

Always a Purple.

 

 

Nothing changes just because we came up short. We'll be back.

I am one of those that called a running clock. We all miss some. Congrats to Graves. You will never be able to get the L out of the heads of the Seniors but what a run they had. Anyone out there that roots for a team would love for their senior class to go 55 and 2.

 

It still stings. Although the future looks bright for Purples a question that we may need to think about is this: will coach Wallace retire? I hope not. I know it's not the best timing to mention it but thought came to my mind when final whistle blew.

 

When you fall off a horse, you gotta get back on it. Let this sting be motivator for the next couple of years.

 

Still a proud purple.

 

 

 

Always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Purples looked like a deer in headlights. It was the worst case of Murphy's Law I've ever seen. Graves County played a great game and the Purples Defense played well. It was the offense that lost the game. Purples QB, Campbell Gott, had his worst night as a Purple. Two or three interceptions, twenty bad passes (at least), a fumble and so many bad decisions that it was (almost) comical. Graves County's defense had a lot to do with it, but it was mainly self inflected. There were at least 10 dropped passes. Penalties galore. Cody Crider is a better defensive end than he is a running back. Graves County was definitely the better team tonight. I believe the Hopkinsville team we just beat 50-0 last week would have beaten the Purples tonight. You can't win them all, but the boys sure won their share of them. Next years team will have a great nucleus to start another run at the title.

 

 

The future is very bright. Very. Bright.

I thought BG was the biggest lock of any team to win a state championship this year in Ky. I thought HHS was probably was the second biggest lock. So BG loses and HHS wins by 3...I guess there is a reason they actually play the game. Congrats to Graves County!

Also congrats to BG. What that program has accomplished the past 5 years is beyond impressive...

How many yards did Crider have?

Just got home from the game.

First and foremost, congratulations to Graves County. They were the better team tonight. Good luck the rest of the way.

 

IMO this had to do mostly with Graves County's excellent D committing to making BG pass. Graves stacked the box all night. BG abandoned the run far too earlyIMO and put the game in Campbell Gott's hands. The young man has had a great season, but was off tonight. It happens, plus uncharacteristic plethera of self-induced penalties killed BG.

 

I have a sick feeling in my stomach, but am proud of their season and their championship run!

 

We'll be back.

:eek: WOW! Congrats Eagles.

Always a Purple.

 

 

Nothing changes just because we came up short. We'll be back.

 

We have a different phrasing on the "other" side of the tracks.

Before one more person comes on here and mentions Campbell Gott by name how about we take into consideration he had his throwing hand split open by cleats in the first quarter and lost the starting rb in the 2nd quarter.

We have a different phrasing on the "other" side of the tracks.

I know. I still love you though BBJ. I owe you a beer one day. :thumb:
