We laugh at that, but after what happened between Lone Oak & Boyle County, I was THRILLED to see that LCA was not going to let up until the game was truly over.

 

Lone Oak didn't let up. Boyle's D stepped it up and started blitzing the qb instead of concentrating on coverage schemes.

Perhaps you're right, TTC. But I don't want my team taking that chance. You keep the pressure on until the VERY end, and there is no chance that the other team can come back.

Won't argue that one bit.:thumb:

 

Congrats, btw. I was very impressed when listening to the game on the radio.

Who said anything about sour grapes or classless? I said I didnt like it. I was there , I thought there was sportsmanship the whole game. I thought LCA was the better team but I also thought we were our own worst enemy several times and put LCA in great postion several times.

 

When we scored to start the second half to make the game 28-13 and then did an onside kick which gave LCA great field postion I thought we were getting desperate much too soon.

 

All in all LCA made the plays and we didnt. I still didnt like the last score.

I hear they are throwing for the endzone with a 29 point lead and a minute left. That I dont like.

 

The 1 pass was supposed to be a playaction keep and the QB was supposed to run it. He was chastized by Coach Rains for throwning the pass. LCA has enough class to not run the score up when up by 29 points.

 

I still didnt like the last score.

Then get your team to stop our second string RB, Will Collins.

First of all CONGRATS TO THE EAGLES! I predicted this all season! And you deserve it. One of the best if not the best 1A team I've ever seen!

 

You didn't see the some of the Beechwood teams in the 90's or the Pikeville Teams in the 80's or Danville in 2003. They were Machines. I know LCA was great this year but I would agree with you that you would have to put them up there.

Congrats LCA, Mayfield be proud of this years season and focus on next year's. I know that Mayfield had a bad game but, I cannot get over the level of talent between, or the big difference from LCA to Mayfield, Mayfield to Beechwood, Crittenden CO, or Hazard.

This is in no way a disrespect to Mayfield...but I truly believe Hazard is the 2nd best team in 1a. Great game by the Eagles whose defense played tremendous (other than those couple of blown coverages).

 

Hayden is a true warrior....Kid was in major pain and just kept pounding it. I wish those who are stating that he is "slow" could have seen a 100% Dom...but 210 yds on a busted wheel is pretty impressive to me.

 

Last but not least....BIG Zach West!!!! He was a man out there!! He and the rest of the LCA line totally dominated the trenches. I say that LCA probably had over 300 yds rushing.

Congratulations to LCA!

This replay will be available around 6:00am CST on Sunday.

 

Thanks for all the post season support RAM fans!

 

The "salve' was spilled in the locker room before the game started and Branden Burdette slipped and fell in it and got it all over everything. He was a human highlight reel tonight on both sides of the ball... must have been the "salve"... it appears that it was from the Orange Krypto tube. Doc, send us a bill, we'll be more than happy to fund your restock needs!

 

The LCA "D" peaked at the right time this season... I've never seem them more prepared for a team than for this game. My hat is off to Coach Graham and Coach Browning for an AMAZING job!

 

Thanks for the info on the replay! :thumb:

I was wondering when we would see a post along these lines. I haven't seen Hazard, but I do think Mayfield is the clear #2 in the state this year. And here are a couple of scores that lead me to say this - 10/23 Mayfield 42 Crittenden County 7; 11/20 Mayfield 31 Crittenden County 28. You may look at those scores and say it looks like Mayfield got worse or it proves Mayfield is not clearly #2. I look at those scores and say comparing game scores does not tell you which team is better. In a one game scenario between quality teams, sometimes strange things happen. So how much better is Mayfield than Crittenden County? How much better than Hazard is LCA? Is LCA really 5 TD's better than Mayfield? All we can go on is what happened and the fact is Mayfield is the state runner up. The final score of this game means nothing more than LCA beat Mayfield in this game. Who knows what the score would look like if they played again next Saturday?

The difference here is- the statement about Hazard came from someone who was intimately involved with the games and saw both teams who played against LCA 1st hand in back-to-back games - not like it was comparing an early season game against the championship game...so there is credence in his opinion and take it that - it is HIS OPINION - and he is entitled to think whatever he wants.

 

I think it doesnt really matter - to me the #2 team is also known as "2009 State Runner-Up" and I believe I saw Mayfield receive that award last night at WKU!

 

Have a blessed CHRIST-mas Season!

I wasnt comparing scores. I watched both teams play LCA and I think Hazard MIGHT be a better team. But is doesnt matter anyway and I shouldnt have posted that....back to Mayfield/LCA game.
