All Mayfield in this one. The cardinals scored just about anytime they wanted to. Marshall scored their points on Mayfield's JV and freshman.

 

Freshman Johnathan Jackson had a great night. He had a interception, scored a rushing TD and had about 10 to 15 tackles.

Jonathan is a beast. I couldn't be happier for him and his terrific parents!! Congrats to Mayfield. Heard freshman Googie Hayes played the entire 2nd half under center also.

It's really sad when a 1A school takes a 6A school to the woodshed like this. It actually makes you think that there is much more to winning football games than having a much BIGGER school. :ohbrother:

Googie did but he didn't have much time to do anything. Every shotgun snap to him was on the ground and the offensive line didn't block anyone at all. He played his heart out.

Oxnard they had 60 to 70 kids on the sidelines. Mayfield dressed out 36 I believe. It is sad. Mayfield always plays a tough non district schedule so they will be ready for the 1A teams.

I agree completely, a topic for another thread, but I would to have that discussion.:thumb:

You can't deny that a larger pool to pull from has it's advantages. However, Mayfield has some serious athletes. SERIOUS!

Like I said, I would love to have this discussion, without threadjacking, but, you can't deny that many small schools though out the state have better over all programs then many of the larger schools. Don't throw T and X at me, but most of the schools.

 

I won't comment any more in this thread, but if someone wants to start a thread on the topic, I will join in. Good topic.

Great way to kick off the season for the Cards tonight. Nice to see a Mayfield team come out and pop somebody in the mouth on both sides of the ball. Jackson did not dissapoint with all the preseason hype as the only time he touched the ball offensively he scored a 12-yard touchdown and an interception in the first half. Mayfield did what they wanted to offensively and the line opened up some nice holes for Tyrese and gave Luke great time to throw the ball. And defensively the 1st string played very well for a first game. Also nice to see the receivers doing a great job of downfield blocking for the backs as I thought that Xavier played his best game ever tonight with his catches and more importantly the way he blocked tonight. Overall a very good win tonight...and the best of luck to the Marshals the rest of the season as they are going to be in a rebuilding mode the rest of the season as their points came late in the 2nd half with their starters against our JV and Freshman squads.

 

Next week against Trousdale County out of Tennessee should be a fun one and a more of an indicator how good we are this early of a season...but a great way to start. Cards...keep working hard this week in practice and keep a level head.

I think Marshall County graduated a great deal of experience off of the last couple of teams. They have the numbers, but not many have played much.

 

Also, don't forget that the name Mayfield carries quite a bit of weight. Its sort of a "we never can beat them" type of mentality that some teams have. I have seen many bigger (and maybe better) teams have the same problem with Danville over the years.

Googie did but he didn't have much time to do anything. Every shotgun snap to him was on the ground and the offensive line didn't block anyone at all. He played his heart out.

 

It would be nice if coach would leave some of the starting line in to give him time to get his passes off and make some good decisions. He was running for his life out there, not much learning going on.
