Flag on the play.

4th and goal from the 6.

[theguru]

Beechwood still wasn't completely set on defense, Mayfield really gets to the line quick and runs their plays when they want to.

FG attempt.

[theguru]

No good.

Wide right.

0 to 0

131 left in the 1st q.

[DanvilleFan]

Nice goalline stand by Beechwood and benefit from the penalty for the miss.

[DevilMayCare]

Mayfield procedure penalty nixes any plans of going for it on fourth and goal from the 1. Chip shot field goal is no good. 

You gotta like Starks' chances of breaking the plane from the 1 yard line, but alas...

One has to think that doesn't put a lot of confidence in the kicking game for Mayfield going forward.  Of course, suddenly starting to kick on college goalposts instead of high school ones an adjustment often overlooked for these games.

Flaherty out to the 35 on a nice run.

Flaherty to the 49 of Mayfield. 

Mayfield had 10 defenders in the box. 

[DanvilleFan]

Two nice runs by Flaherty immediately gets Beechwood to midfield.

Early observation but I think Beechwood is going to have to air it out more here in this game.  They aren't going to be able to run all over Mayfield and win this.

Really quick first quarter!

End of 1, 0 to 0, Beechwood with the ball at midfield, 2nd down.

Mayfield is crowding the box, just daring Beechwood to throw the ball, I do understand it has a lot to do with formation but again Beechwood is going to have to throw it some.

It was just a really bad kick.  I have no idea how it has been all year.
