Final.

Exhale Card fans.... you can breathe now.

Looks like it was a good game!

So is Hoptown better than their ranking?

I think Hoptown is really good. Saw them in 7v7 and knew then they would be very good. Even in defeat, this proves that. They are one of the few teams on this side of the state that can play with Madisonville this year in 4A.

Can Madisonville play with Hoptown? Is that what you asked?

No I said what I meant to say.

I know Purple88 I was just foreshadowing:)

Hopkinsville is very good. Size and speed too.

The Cardinals Defense could not get off the field on 3rd down. I'm not sure how many 3rd downs Hoptown converted but it was a lot. Several of them thrown to the Reese kid that is only a junior. He's a big time D1 prospect and Mayfield had no answer for him tonight when it came to coming down the ball. Mayfield escaped with a win tonight thanks to a couple of their signature big play TDs in the pass game and a pick 6 in the first half. Good luck to Hoptown the rest of the way. They played tough tonight.

I think people underestimated Hoptown because of last seasons misleading record.

 

They started out playing a tough schedule last season, but then they lost their starting QB and backup QB in the span of a week.

They did not have a single QB on the roster that could throw the football. They converted a receiver to QB and had to change the entire offense mid year.

 

And even with that, they hung with Madisonville the entire game in the playoffs last year. No offense whatsoever and only lost 20-0 in a game that was much closer.

 

I’m picking them to come out of this side of the state in 4A after what I saw tonight and the level of talent on their team.

I agree. The QB this year was very good passing the ball. No stacking the box on Hopkinsville.

• Jayden Stinson- 11-23, 318 yards, 3 TDs
  

Is Mayfield struggling to run the ball as effectively this year?

They did not look as strong as in past years, but their line is amazing in pass blocking. I think Hoptown had a good scheme tonight, but I bet Mayfield’s running game is much better in the next few games.
