Class AA Playoffs Mayfield vs Owensboro Catholic

[DeSales Dad]

They are equal seeds, both #1 from their districts and this is the year that the host is the Eastern most. Being this far West, in even years we travel. In odd years we host

 

A-ha! I've never come across that because we're the #2 seed every year because CAL beats us but then we beat the other #1. I need more coffee before I start trying to think!!!

Mayfield District 1

Catholic District 2

 

Even year Catholic hosts Region

 

The winner of Region 1 (Mayfield/Catholic) plays winner of Region 2 (CAL/ DeSales)

 

Even year Region 2 will host Semi State

 

I know it confuses people but this is how the playoff homefield is determined.

[BigRedDiesel]

Odd/even district/year system is much better system than doing coin flips when two #1s meet.

On to the thinking on this one. To me this is where the playoffs start as this is really the first game we have played where the opponent is actually capable of winning. I like what I what I see with these Cards, like their focus, their talent and their football IQ. This is the best Cards offense I think MF has ever had loaded at RB, QB, and go several deep at receiver. The defense gets bashed by many but in reality it is one of the best in AA. I will never say we are a shoe in but I think it will take MF mistakes coupled with a flawless OC effort for OC to win and I don't see that happening. I will take the Cards by 3 TD's and feel pretty confident in saying that.

 

 

I would love to hear my OC buddy Rambo4343 take on this one

[WHO'S NEXT?]

I would like to watch some video of OC first before jumping into a prediction, but I always like the faster team playing on turf. No doubt who has the most team speed here.

There's no doubt it's going to take Catholic to play their best game, but if I remember last year people thought MF was going to route OC. It was 10-7 or 14-7 going into 4th qtr.

 

Again OC will have to play their best game, no doubt, but MF is not going to get take this game easily. It will be like last year. And to the victor goes the spoil.

 

 

Long bus ride to Owensboro.

This should be a tuff game, it was last year as well. Mayfield is rolling on offense, going to be hard to stop all their weapons.

[BigRedDiesel]

Mayfield is loaded with a full arsenal of weapons at QB, RB, and WR. Last night, watching Butler County’s backs continually stuffed at the line of scrimmage and King Rex scramble for his life, I was reminded that a good offensive line is the engine that makes the shiny wheels turn. I would begin my list of reasons why MF gets the win over OCath with these five really good ones:

How do you think Mayfield's defense stacks up to last year's defense?

[Proudfan]

Mayfield's 2016 Defense is playing 3 sophomores 1 senior and 2 juniors on the DL. They have all 4 LB's back with several kids at DB's that can rotate. 2016 is the fastest Mayfield Defense i seen in several years.

[Rambo4343]

Looked back at some scores. Did Mayfield get a running clock before half against Murray? Catholic did with 7 minutes to go in the half.

I agree, I think it's the deepest we've been on defense in as long as I can remember. I think mayfield just tends to get comfortable/bored after semi big leads. Which leads to teams coming back and making it a game. We controlled the paducah/McCracken/Corbin games and they just got complacent at times which in essence led to comebacks.

I don't know if they did.

 

Did Butler score 28 on OC?

If you wanna do some score comparing.

Yes. They would not of scored against OC now. OC was playing young DL at that point. They are using some of their OL and a converted LB at DE now. It helped OC out a lot.

 

Any other scores?
