Final!

Impressive.

Expected.

Long night for Ludlow! I hope they come back strong and get ready for Bellevue!!!! I had a feeling the rough schedule Beechwood played would toughen them up for 1A play.

This was not expected. Not this wide a margin of domination.

 

- Beechwood averaged perhaps 3 plays per score for their first 7 touchdowns.

 

- Running clock with 10:13 to go in the second quarter with the score 42-0.

 

- Ludlow did not earn a first down in the first half (one first down by penalty).

 

This was total domination. Please no one knock Ludlow. They are a solid team. They came into the game undefeated. This score shows just how good Beechwood is.

Beechwood is too much for the Panthers. It’s a shame BeechWood isn’t 2A right now, Ludlow might’ve been able to make it to the State Semi’s this year.

 

Hope the Panthers keep their heads up. 7-1 is nothing to be ashamed of.

People can say what they want about strength of schedule and all else they want. Tonight clearly showed how good Beechwood really is. Ludlow coming in undefeated wasn't an accident, they have a good team.

Unfortunately this one was over b4 I finished my cheeseburger. C'mon Ludlow, finish strong. Beat Bellevue and Paris to go 9 and 1.

Exactly Zig!

The rest of 1A was served notice tonight with an exclamation mark.

No doubt Ludlow is a very good team and I still stand by my comment that this is the best Ludlow team since 1999. This is one of the best teams Ludlow has ever had. My comments about the schedules was not because I think Ludlow should have scheduled tougher. I think it was a very good 1A schedule actually. I was just pointing out that this is the best offense and defense Ludlow faced this year. While Beechwood has faced better offenses and defenses. So it was going to be tough for Ludlow to truly know the level of competition that they were up against no matter what. That is why I said all along I felt Ludlow would look better in a rematch after getting an idea what they are up against. Now they know and if they get a rematch they know the true level they have to get to.

 

To speak more on that 1999 team. That 1999 team lost 62 to 0 to Beechwood in the regular season. Then in the playoffs that same year was tied 0 to 0 with Beechwood in the 4th quarter. It ended up being the only competitive game Beechwood had all playoffs that year. So Ludlow just needs to learn from this. They know now what level they have to get to, and it will help them be better prepared for a possible rematch much like the 99 team. Now go out next week and lock up the 2 seed and home playoff game by beating Bellevue.

Exactly Zig!

Big Zig, you and I came from the same era. I watched the game tonight with a Ludlow friend. Truly, I was hoping for a close game like we both remember. I respect the Ludlow community, and have no doubt we will duel again!

Ludlow is a decent team but they just don't have the numbers to compete with Beechwood. No shame. Beechwood is probably a top 8 school in the state, regardless of class. Tough for any 1a school to compete with them. Just look at what Lloyd did to New Cath tonight, and new Cath beat Christian academy of Louisville this year, Beechwood beat Lloyd pretty good. Then see Beechwood beat Corbin, who beat mayfield. On top of that beechwood showed they were right there with a top 5 6a school in Simon Kenton. Beechwood is the real deal and it will be tough for a 1a school to stay in it with them. Good luck to Ludlow. They are well coached and play hard.

Does #78 for Ludlow usually play? He seemed to be decently sized compared to the others on the field but he stood by himself for most the game? Was just curious.....
