Knee down. 

Great game.Congratulations to Mayfield!

Very proud of the fight in these Tigers. Mayfield fans will tell you they always win the second half of games but that didn't happen tonight. It was Beechwood that made the adjustments and almost pulled out a great come from behind win.

Is this a ZING / “dig” on the refs?

I sincerely hope not

…if so, zebra / whistle-up yourself

Otherwise be Thankful there are still enough officials to play the games

He is special!  The great news for Tiger fans is he’s only a Freshman.  He played a great game.

The Tigers have nothing to be ashamed of after that game. They will be trouble next year. Pass game is tough.

Where was the broadcast this week? I guess since graves isn’t playing we can’t get a radio show this week.

What a game! Congrats to Mayfield and good luck, next week! Beechwood, no reason to hang your heads, you left it all on the field and made us all proud, here in NKY!

I don’t think he was attacking the refs. He was just pointing out that we actually scored there so, the football gods smiled upon us with the int to make it right. Mistakes happen and in high school the officials don’t have the benefit of instant replay.

Nothing wrong with pointing out the refs missed a big one.  The way that game went, it absolutely could've mattered.

Congrats Mayfield!

IMO BW made a massive mistake just not taking it to overtime after a huge fumble from Mayfield. Mayfield makes you pay for mistakes so bad especially at home. This game reminded me of the ending of the Iowa and Nebraska game today.

I’ve seen so many high school coaches get ultra aggressive right at the end of the half or end of the game when things are going pretty good. Then a massive turnover happens that cost them a game or tons of momentum. The pros do it on tv with unbelievably talented QB’s and kickers that can hit from 50. In high school when you have 80 yards to go and less than a minute, just take it OT. BW had the momentum.

I like a lot of your posts but I disagree strongly with this one. Here's why:

1. Do you think Beechwood wasn't capable of at least getting into field goal range in one minute? After all the big plays they had in the game? I watched this team all year. They can score in one play from anywhere on the field. Last week they had 3 TD's that were one play scores including a 53 yarder and a 71 yarder. If I went back and looked, I think I would find 20 times during the year that Beechwood scored a TD in 2 minutes or less including games against Dixie Heights, Simon Kenton and even the fantastic defense of Covington Catholic.

2. Do you change how you played all year with one minute to go in the biggest game of the year? Beechwood's offense was an aggressive attacking passing game all year. Beechwood practices their 2 minute drill over and over and over. They ended their practice on Thanksgiving running their 2 minute drill. So you tell your team forget about that practice we do all the time? That is demoralizing to your own team. They prepared for that moment and that situation all year and now you say let's lay down here and forget all that hard work. No way!

3. Read the game. If that game goes to overtime, who do you think has the advantage? I believe in my Tigers but if I am being objective based on how that game was going, Mayfield has the advantage. Beechwood had trouble stopping the run all night. I would not want the game riding on stopping Starks 4 times from 10 yards out. Beechwood had the momentum after that fumble. They had the opportunity to win in their hands. They had a QB that rarely makes mistakes. They trailed the entire game and this was their chance. That last drive was the only time all night that Mayfield thought they could lose the game because they know Beechwood's big strike passing attack could score any time. 

No sir. No way in the world that was the wrong decision. Give Mayfield credit. They made the play. Put me in that situation again with this team and I am going for it again.

To me that ball could be moving but For a team that punched it’s Ticket to the state finals you sure are complaining a lot about the so called bad calls! If I  didn’t know who won the game I  would have thought Mayfield lost! I’m sure there are some Beechwood fans who feel there were some bad calls against them but you haven’t seen one Beechwood fan cry and moan about the calls! You won so enjoy the win!

But it didn’t though! There are bad calls in every game!

Right there with you.  Beechwood is a confident team and confident teams that pass as well as they do have to go for the kill shot.
