You mean the same Graves Co. Spread offense that was shutout by Mayfield and never came close to reaching the endzone in that game?

Yes, that one. The same one who is playing this weekend still.

lol yes the same team but our defense was lights out in that game. Graves has a top notch RB and is up at the top with the best RB's in the state. Graves has ran the wing t for years and they have found success by opening it up and running the spread.

I think our ole buddy quickslick can fix things

 

 

Congrats Snake, you got him to come out! I feared we would not see or hear form QS again

 

 

Good to C U QS!

Somewhat poetic that if Graves County had beaten Mayfield, they may not have changed the QB situation and might not be where they are this week. It worked out for both teams.

Im amazed they switched QBs honestly. Took a Mayfield kid to get them on track.

Not what I meant. That is somewhat ironic though. Glad for all/both of them.

Actually it was VOR and his lack of awareness regarding our play calling ...

 

I spent a few minutes running the numbers on our season ... against teams that were "solid" to "great". (aka--Teams that VOR has mentioned this season: Mount Healthy, Dixie, Franklin County, Cov Cath, NCC, Frankfort, Mayfield)

 

Total Offensive Plays (NOTHING EXCLUDED): 341

Total Runs: 203 (60%)

Total Passes: 138 (40%)

 

Heck ... here are a few more numbers for the sake of conversation ... we broke down 269 plays of the Mayfield offense ...

 

Run: 197 (73.23%)

Pass: 72 (26.77%)

(We don't break down plays against blowout efforts--so the numbers are solid comparisons)

 

Against Mayfield:

Total Offensive Plays: 61

Total Runs: 40 (66%)

Total Passes: 21 (34%)

 

Total Runs for a Loss and Yards: 3 for -4 yards

Total Passes for a Loss and Yards: 2 for -14 yards

 

Naturally the last few days have been hell ... but when I look back on what cost us the game last week--it was not the offense and it most definitely WAS NOT the play calling.

 

Based on the numbers above (and the fact that the Mayfield fans have been pretty upfront about the fact that running the ball has been their bread and butter) ... it was our inability to get a stop on defense. We did a good job against the run .. we did not do such a great job against the pass.

 

Now--if I had a dollar for every time a Mayfield fan said that we would struggle running against the Mayfield defense. Well ... guess what ... based on the numbers above ... it sure looks like our offensive coaches were 100% squared away with their game plan (pretty sure they got it right all year as well).

 

So ... if you are going to question coaching (our fans) then maybe you need to fire away at the defense. So fire away at good ole' quickslick.

 

At the end of the day:

*Two exceptional small school football programs met in the semi-finals

*One team won

*One team lost

*Both teams had success and failures

*All the kids played as hard as they could

*Whether I like it or not ... or agree or disagree ... the better team won.

 

From there ... I am out ... I am taking my ball ... and going home and putting the football clothes away--and unpacking the track and field costumes.

 

Good luck to the Cards against Williamsburg.

I hope that we can find a way to keep a series going with the Cardinals.

Conner Math fails me again ....

Does anyone have an opinion on whether all of the talented BW Juniors will be back for their Senior football season. I am not spreading anything (that is contagious anyway) or trying to stir the pot. I am referring to the group whose meal ticket into D1 is through baseball. Was Stringer's injury Friday a concussion? If so, does he risk a scholarship to Louisville to play baseball? Does Combs risk his opportunity with UK baseball? Most pundits have Slusher tagged for D1 baseball as well. And, possibly Fieger? Or, with MF out of the way, do they seize the opportunity for one last shot at a 1A ring?

 

I asked this question over the summer. Not sure playing football jeopardizes their baseball futures. There are high school football players all over rosters of baseball teams. What they miss is the fall tour of Florida, scouts paradise, but two of them don't need it, and I think Slusher will be wrapped up by then, though from what I have seen he could play safety at a high level in college. I do worry about Ethan, seems he was carrying the ball a lot at the end of the year, really too much. That's a lot of hits on the shoulders and legs. That said, when you watch him he sure looks like he loves it. You always hear rumors that kids aren't playing, but I think coming up short this year will bring them all back for one more run. The three Midland kids will start throwing and hitting on a regular basis this week, they are three of the hardest working kids I've seen, and IMO the break football provides them is very good for them.

That post right there is why I love hearing your opinions. Good luck next year. You are the real deal

Based on what quickslick said the Beechwood coaches did what they thought they had to do to stop Mayfield which was stop the run and they did for the most part but Mayfield's QB did a great job along with the receivers. I thought Landon Arnett got better and better as the season rolled on.

 

I hope Beechwood/Mayfield can figure out a way to play some contests in the future. I will miss the banter.

I felt like Mayfield executed their game plan and was successful. Does the Beechwood faithful feel like they executed their game plan and was successful?

Thanks for the input.

 

The only place I believe I questioned play calling was in the goal line series. Is there anything wrong with questioning that? I hope not. No TD was scored so every play call in that series should be questioned. Maybe after looking at it, it is decided nothing different should have been called, but it should be looked at and questioned.

 

I, and others, have said that Beechwood's overall play calling this season was the best we have seen at Beechwood in a number of years. I hope it gets even better. There is room for improvement, isn't there?

 

It looked to me like the difference in the game (other than turnovers) is Mayfield was more effective in their passing game than Beechwood. To be perfectly frank, some of that was factors beyond specific play calling and that has to be questioned/analyzed too.

 

Personally, if you don't mind me sharing a thought, I think the biggest opportunity for improvement in the passing game is in play design more than play calling.

 

And just so it is clear this is all about getting better and not complaining, the Beechwood offense was more effective against Mayfield than anyone they faced this year. The talk was about how good the Mayfield defense is and Beechwood was able to move the ball on them all night. Beechwood never punted in the game (thanks in part to the fake punt run by Slusher). Beechwood dominated time of possession and gained more yards than Mayfield even with their big plays. The offense did a LOT right. But Mayfield got the win so everyone who wants a Beechwood win has to ask how can Beechwood get better.

Zimmerman was a tool! The band is the band. They put in a lot of work and it shows. "Yeagle and his staff were better than Rash and his staff." That's funny cuz it's mostly the same damn staff! The entire offensive side of the ball and several of the other coaches were there when Yeagle was. This isn't the 90's anymore folks so quit trying to compare this season/staff/players to those cuz their is no comparison.

 

So then it is the leadership of the head coach? Don't know what other conclusions can be drawn.

Excellent reply VOR! And that was the point of the thread.
