WHO'S NEXT?

I will watch the sunrise in Owensboro to bring back another win.

Can never go wrong at Drury. Food in the morning and the evening with comp adult beverages and unlimited soda.

Fox back on defense this week?

I think you meant to say "of the 4th quarter". Running clock on Catholic after the first play of the 4th quarter.

I will throw Ole South out there too, there over the summer. Good stuff. Very busy, but they got me fed quickly and on my way. Basically, Owensboro is a BBQ heaven. Playing there every other year will sure beat traveling to another rural county in that district with limited food options.

Just watched about 2 quarters of OC and Mayfield will have to implode... turnovers, major penalties and fall for a few OC trick plays not to win this game. I was impressed by Vonn Williams coming out of the backfield. He will be a great one before he graduates from there. I just don't see him finding lanes to run through against Mayfield. Just hope the rain stays away until this one is over. 42-22 Mayfield

Heck, just look a the Murray scores from last season between the two teams and the end result for OC. It matters not. BTW... I went back and looked at all 17 pages of last year's thread of this game, and while I saw plenty of confident Cardinal fans, I failed to come across predictions of a blowout as stated early. FYI... it's a long ride to Columbia or Ft. Mitchell. Owensboro is a piece of cake with a sundrop from Beaver Dam to wash it down.

I would like to watch some video of OC first before jumping into a prediction, but I always like the faster team playing on turf. No doubt who has the most team speed here.

Gridiron Glory highlights on WPSD were terrible, don't bother checking them out. One touchdown highlight for Mayfield, one for Butler and two other random plays. There for the entire game and that was the best offering.

Butler County radio folks said they hadn't seen a team this good all year and it didn't matter if it was Butler Co. or Owensboro Catholic, Mayfield's D is/will be in the backfield all night. Close to perfection tonight for Mayfield.

A night at the woodshed for the Bears. Henderson has run for his life since this blowout started. Catholic over Murray by 26 in the second quarter, so closing down War Memorial this season with another running clock

My update is that Webster Co went home a week ago.

Don't know how the game looked before the final score, but 42 to 28 is not lopsided.

I watch Illinois go through this process each year. They hold a bracket show on TV, the night after the season ends, much like the selection show for March Madness. I've always wondered how these teams are seeded in their bracket, they never take the time to explain. Do we know if CalPreps is the preferred method of calculating playoff teams in other states? Lord help us if we have to use the in state methods such Lit or Cantrall.

Murray has gotten their best player back who went out week 1 of the season. I don't think Murray will win this game, but I would not be shocked if they hang around for a couple of quarters. They seem to be hitting their stride at the right time. Pass D MUST show up though if they want any chance to make this respectable.

This will end up like the Monroe Co. 2ND round game last year. Glasgow makes an early score or two and then the Colts step it up to win easily in the end.

It would also be nice to have Arnett throw his 100th touchdown pass in his final home game

Butler has given up a ton of points to any team with a pulse this year, 52-15 red and black.

35-0 Christian up midway through the 2ND.

It's been a "few" games since Mayfield has had to regroup at halftime, but this coaching staff always figures out what they need to do and the players execute. Nice to have a quality opponent sandwiched between lopsided district games and the early rounds of the playoffs.

Agreed, but I would give the slight edge to LCA to represent the east at state. Don't see the Breds getting back.

Well, that home loss to Caldwell happened in 2008, a year that Mayfield lost 6 games. BTW, Mayfield last lost at home to McCracken, not Caldwell.

Just hoping McCracken puts their best foot forward this year. Turnovers for the Mustangs in this game last year turned what could have been an entertaining contest into an easy win for the Purples. Home field might be good for an extra touchdown, but this is still BG's game to lose. 48-28.

With Mayfield's offense even more efficient than last year, I'm curious to see how either a Cal or DeSales defense would slow them, seeing that is their strength. Mayfield shredded Corbin's D, and it's one of the best in 3 A. Think teams will have to keep Mayfield under 35 PT. to have a chance.

Don't think there is another team that looks more similar to Mayfield than Caldwell Co. in regards to play calling. Most years, however, Mayfield does it better and will again this year too. 42-24
