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!

 

Well said.

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.

 

No, I don't have a problem with your post. I think you should put your opinion out there and it is a valid argument. My point is Mayfield had their worst day of the year yesterday and the score isn't a true statement of how these two teams compare. I am sure LCA had a lot to do with it but if Mayfield doesn't turn the ball over and fumble like it did, it is a very different game. LCA still wins IMO but not by the score we saw yesterday. One thing is certain though, LCA is the best team in 1A this year and they have the hardware to prove it.

After a lot of boasting from other teams, I think we now know who had the best skill players in Class A.

 

If the line in a skill position or secondary then yes! Line dominated for LCA Witt could have taken a nap in the pocket and, Guhy threw it like a girl on several passes...

 

It doesn't take much for skill players to look great...I would bet on 3 of LCA TD's and 2 Mayfield TD's there weren't defensive players within 3 yards of them...

I was there at the game...LCA's defense SWARMED to the ball and punished the ball carriers thus CREATING the turnovers - the Mayfield team was not used to getting hit as hard as LCA was bringing it - these were Forced Turnovers.Also, the LCA players were also coached up very well and prepared for this game so they were where they needed to be when they needed to be there.

 

If it would have been even more lopsided except for 2 blown coverages on the 2 long plays.

 

#1 Burdette for LCA was the FASTEST player on the field...sorry to tell you that on here.

 

Are you serious, were we watching the same game...On three of the Ints...Guhy just flat out threw horrible passes, the WR fell down on the one that was picked at the goal line. The other two were tipped passes if I remember correctly. Guhy wasn't even under any really big pressure on the ints. Catching a wounded duck is NOT a forced turnover.

 

Now maybe the fumbles were forced, and I believe there was only one that was recovered by LCA.

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 beleive this is what happened...Mayfield was out of the game, but you still have to play til the final horn...not bad sportsmanship on LCA, just a kid making a decision...I'm sure Coach Rains was saying...oh crap...:ohbrother:

And watch this 1st Quarter! There were SIX Turovers in the First Quarter between the 2 teams! It was a whirlwind to try and STAT for!!! LOL

 

Never seen anything like it...weird...Witt & Guhy throw more Interceptions in one game than they have all year! Loved the atmosphere the first half, even though Mayfield was lukcy to be in the game with where we had our turnovers!

I dont know if you had the best skill players or just the best line.

 

 

I'm guessing BOTH. As it ends up, Hazard was probably the next best team in 1A. But...that's not provable or unprovable, nor does it matter.

 

Everyone knows Mayfield will bring it again next year. The Cardinals are one of the consistantly good teams in Kentucky football.

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?

 

Mayfield is #2 for sure...hands down, I would say Crittendon/Hazard are very close for #3...

Did Hazard get the runnerup trophy?

The other two were tipped passes if I remember correctly.

 

"Tipped Pass" = "Deflected by the defender" = "Forced Turnover"

Are you serious, were we watching the same game...On three of the Ints...Guhy just flat out threw horrible passes, the WR fell down on the one that was picked at the goal line.

Yes I am serious...if you know anything about Football, you would know that a forced t/o is also counted by the defensive players (DB's & LB's) making plays and being in the right position to DEFEND the passes - they tipped the balls because they were where they were coached to be to handle the passes. (it is not just pressure on the QB)

 

I also agree with you that the Mayfield QB's arm was not as strong as you would have liked it to be - but wasnt that the same QB you all have had ALl year long helping you to average 47 PPG? Hmmmm sounds like they just met a better Defense this game than they were accustomed to seeing.

 

IMO

IMO...that is what makes us differ...watch film on Guhy and you will see a QB who plays lights out some games and if way off on others!!!

Congratulations LCA! Great season Mayfield!

I believe Mayfield's players tipped at least one of the picks...either way...we TURNED it over to a great team and YOU CAN'T DO THAT!:isurrender:

Question for LCA fans...how many of your players have gone to LCA all years they've been in school? Not a loaded question, just wondering how many come when high school starts, etc.

 

It's very difference than anything here in WKY...
