Playoff dejavu. If this seems familiar, it is. Mayfield and LCA meeting for the fourth consecutive season in the third round of the class 2A plaoffs has nearly become a tradition. 

So far, the first three have all been played at Mayfield. Not this time. The Cardinals will be doing the traveling this year and LCA will get to play at home. Will it matter? We shall see.

One thing is for sure, the game is usually worth the watch, that is, with the exception of last year (if you are a a cardinal fan). I have not heard an injury report for LCA, but Mayfield lost the services of Diego Torres for the rest of the season, and yes, that hurts. Can the Cards overcome that and get the victory on LCA’s home field? Does LCA backup last year’s victory with another big win? Tell us what you think.

Red Helmet Sports will be there. We just paid the fee. Go Big Red!

LCA has been fighting an injury bug all year, but for the 1st time in over a month, they have everyone healthy. For a lot of folks, this game has been circled since RPIs were finalized and will be one of the best 3rd round matchups in the state. 

Believe it or not, this is only the 5th game between Mayfield and LCA. The series is tied at 2 and 2. 

I believe this is the 1st time Mayfield has played at LCA?

hsratings.com is very accurate and is the benchmark of rating systems. TP94 being very close adds a lot of credibility to TP94 for me.

You are correct.

As a Mayfield fan this game is shaping up just like last year. BG Poll favoring Mayfield and power rankings favoring Mayfield only difference is it's at LCA this time and last year was one of the worst home playoff loses I can remember. As a fan I am really excited about this game and I will say this. WE need to give the ball to number 4 a few more times as he is electric and looks to be our most explosive player that can truly take it the distance from any where on the field...Truly bright future as a Cardinal...go BIG red..revenge last years loss with a big win.
