bugatti Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I believe many thought the margin of victory would be a little more than 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfieldsportsfan Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I believe many thought the margin of victory would be a little more than 14. The score was 28-6 Mayfield not 20-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfieldsportsfan Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks... :thumb: How did everyone look??? Not bad in my opinion. We have to hold onto the ball better. The line looked better than what most people thought they would. Mayfield has a ton of talent in the running back spot. Freshman sensation Decole Noonan scored two touchdowns and made plenty of good open field tackles on defense.. Logan Armstorng had a whale of a game at QB. He threw some good strikes tonight. Mayfield had two freshman starting on defense tonight because of injury and they looked good. One thing you can say about this team is that they have good senior leadership and work good together as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstregionking Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The game probably would have been closer if Heath's tailback Wright would've been in football "shape". He just ended his legion baseball season about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalsvoice Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I thought that Mayfield looked very well for a first game of the season...I though the line played very well last night and gave Armstrong plenty of time to throw the football and opened up some holes for the backs to run through. Mayfield played without its starting tailback after the 1st quarter due to a slight back injury, but Murrell and "Rump" aka Decole Noonan played very well for his first game as a freshman. Also on Friday night Xavier Shelton said hello in a big way to the Mayfield crowd showing blazing speed on the end position and made one of the sweetest punt returns that he took the distance, but was called back on a clip after a Mayfield lineman hustled down the field to give an extra block and when the lineman got to a Heath player he turned his back at the last second and Mayfields lineman could not avoid hitting him...which is a shame because A) the Cardinal lineman was hustling and just had a bad break...and B) the Heath player had no chance of catching Shelton as he was 5 yards past him. The score could have and probably should have been a littler larger margin, but the Cards made some turnovers that I am sure the coaching staff will work on to repair....but overall a good opening game win for the Cards.

snakesnot_2000 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Mayfield looked good in my opinion. Armstrong has a nice arm and is accurate. #7 for Mayfield will be a weapon. I look for this team to get better and better and to contend for the state title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigRed Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yeah, they looked real good, just gotta work on those turnovers, it would have added 1 to 2 more scores to this total!! Noonan did look good, I didn't think he would get to play this early but with Trevarthen getting injured I guess things had to change. Does anyone know how serious his injury was? I saw him walking around in the last quarter, it looked like he got hit in the back. I think Heath showed some good offense, Wright is the real deal, they had him running, throwing and punting, the kid just wore out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkysportsfan Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Good job Cards, can i get some individual stats for mayfield. I would also like to hear what Wright did from Heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKYfootballguy Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Mayfield should have scored at least two more times but turnovers and penalties killed drives/scores. Overall, Mayfield played just as I anticpated...had trouble with the option offense for the first half, but adjusted well. I thought Logan looked great in his decisionmaking and threw some strikes. I am VERY excited about Mayfield's passing game. Gary Hall, Xavier Shelton, Levi Pruett, and Jared McCustion, plus the running backs...WOW, should be an exciting year for the Cards offense! Wright was a good back for Heath and defintely will be a force in a few weeks when he gets in football shape! Good win for the Cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
