A Football Side Story of Redemption

[Toothpick]

Mayfield Senior Kicker Lincoln Suiter lives in a small WKY  town where football is king. After the tornado devastated Mayfield, the community looked for it's beloved Cardinal football team to bring  a glimmer of hope, something to help the community forget the reality of the devastation, something to believe in, to cheer for, to help heal.  Lincoln missed a field goal and a late extra point in the 2022 state championship game in a 14 - 13 loss to Beechwood. The weight of the loss weighed heavy on Lincoln but here is his story of redemption.

Nice article.  I felt bad for him last year.  Half of me is glad he got his redemption, but the other half still wishes he missed that kick.

We were lucky to have Lincoln Suiter, he was a fine kicker and he will be missed.

What a great article and inspiring story.  Really happy for the Mayfield community to get another State Championship, but somehow this one feels like it means a little more due to the tornado and all the adversity the Purchase Area dealt with and is overcoming.  

Way to go Lincoln and Mayfield!
