Mayfieldsportsfan Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Very hard fought game. Owensboro Catholic pushed Mayfield to the very end. They are a very good team. Atwell is definitely the best QB we played this year. Congratulations Cardinals on #13! It's great to be a Cardinal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwoodfan Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Congratulations Mayfield! We were following the game with parents who were down there last week. They went on and on about how welcoming and friendly you were last week. If it couldn’t be us, I am very glad it is you. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff jackson Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Both teams offenses are explosive and dynamic. OB Cath is a mirror image of Beechwood with prolific passing attacks, whereas, Mayfield can pass it or run it equally well and, to me, that's tougher to defend and the difference in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBallCoach Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The sportsmanship wasn’t just in the last minute of the game it was consistent from the Aces the entire game. Too friendly for my liking throughout, and let me explain why. No way I could see my defense patting the opposition on the helmet and helping them off the ground after getting dominated at the LOS all night long and think they posses the fire and urgency to win the game. May just be me and my old school way of thinking. “I don’t want to see a fight but I need to see some fight” and it just wasn’t there for OC until it was too late. Both teams played great games offensively and Mayfield had less mistakes and was able to hold off the comeback. If you told me before the game was played that 100 points were scored I would’ve thought I picked this game correctly. I thought the Aces would do a better job of containing Starks, but as we all know the Cardinals play with a different type of edge this time of year. Just a great program and a well deserved win, a community win, truly impressed with how they operate. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarMemorialVet Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 To be the best you have to beat the best!!! From LCA to Beechwood to Ocatch we played the best team remaining in 2A each week. Each game the QB was the best in 2A. We beat Boley, well BW QB is better, beat him, well Atwell has all these stats this year he’s better than the rest. Beat em all! Crown Us!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrcarrier Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 For Mayfield to give this many points up, Owensboro Catholic must have been very good. Congratulations to Mayfield on the championship and to OC on a great season. Has anyone ever played a three game stretch in the postseason, state championship included this tough as what Mayfield has done? Seriously, Mayfield deserves A LOT of credit for how they got to the championship and won. Congratulations to both teams again on awesome seasons! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. Well rounded but I think we passed the ball more than the Aces thought we would. I thought the screen passes were going to be the death of us.

I have watched almost every game since 1995. Your question got me to thinking. I think it would have been in 2007 or so when Ft Campbell had a good program. No one wanted to play them in the bowl game at Marshall County and Coach Joe spoke and said we would. We were tied or real close to tied at halftime. In the second half they came out at put at running clock on us. That was when it took at least a 42 point lead to get a running clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
