Good Saturday morning all!!!

 

I got to spend 7:20 minutes at Mayfield's War Memorial Stadium in a game that ended at 12:16 AM in Saturday morning.

 

In a rain steady rain Mayfield managed 3 fumbles and 2 int's though one of the picks was a result of the conditions. Mayfield had 423 yard of offense and Marshall County a little over 200. MF QB Arnett threw 3 TD's and Trajon Bright rushed for 2, one a 54ish yard run. Bright saw limited action in the second half due to a large lead and the wet conditions.

Rediculous that game was not postponed. I believe that's the white hats decision, if so, it was obvious he didn't want to come back to finish the game tomorrow. Oh wait, it is tomorrow!

Could this be the longest and latest game in state history?

Props to the kids on both teams for getting through this nightmare. 2nd half was played with more spirit and fight than I would have expected given the circumstances. MC appears to be headed in the right direction. I'm proud of the work MF did in the trenches. Clean up the penalties and this MF squad could be scary good.

Definitely could qualify for the longest running clock game -

It is the schools decision whether to play ,postpon or cancel a game. All the referee has control of is to stop a game if there is a weather hazard. It is out of his hands at that point

Both coaches agreed that they were gonna wait it out until 11:00 as long as there was no more lightning strikes past then. It did stop, then after the 30 min delay the 2nd half started around 11:30. About a 2 and a half hour delay. Given those circumstances I thought we did a pretty good job finishing the game especially with a very wet field.

 

That was the last game between these 2 teams for now and I thought Marshall looked really good compared to the last 2 or 3 seasons. Hopefully the coach has them going in the right direction.

Marshall looked and played like a football team, with some grit and toughness. We looked pretty good. GO BIG RED!
