WHO'S NEXT?

Maybe go with that catfish and pups at Toot's

There is more needed than just being fundamentally sound and having the heart of a champion to being successful at the next level. Less star power and more of a "I'm working for the guy next to me " attitude is not a bad thing.

Watching both my schools this weekend... WKU and Mayfield, with plenty of Double Dogs and pool time mixed in.

With the last 2 games bringing huge, well warrented hype (see the the length of the DeSales and OC threads), I could conceive a small emotional let down in this game - at least for a quarter or two. No worries though, Mayfield is built for the comeback if they are put in that position. However, if Mayfield is hitting early and grabs a couple quick touchdowns, this one is over... done... finished. Unless the Cards have a few of their best athletes beat up, which they don't, I can't see a scenario where they lose here.

It is funny how once teams actually play Mayfield they find out that maybe they aren't as great as once perceived. Seems every few years a new team or two find that out in an up close and personal basis. That's OK, it always makes for great banter leading up to a game.

Whatever "IT" is, Mayfield has "IT". Another spectacular job by one of the top coaching staffs in Kentucky for those halftime adjustments . This was still a game until the onside kick went out of bounds, gotta give your guys at least a chance to recover that ball, instead it spun like a top and went straight out of bounds. The Memorial mystique for opposing teams continues...

30 . Not

Int. Mayfield ball at the DeSales 3

7;48 remaining. Colts at their 20

Mayfield will receive the kickoff to start the 2ND half

Next reclassification DeSales needs to ask for small college status. That's just crazy for 2A football in this state.

I quite enjoy seeing this the first week of December, ready for it to return on Monday. Death, taxes, and Mayfield taking the field at LT Smith stadium.

While Cal Preps acknowledges the home team in its prediction, it only gives a "neutral" field score. Home field should work for 3 or 4 points to NCC and Mayfield, making NCC a 1 touchdown underdog, and Mayfield a field goal favorite.

It's about acting like you've been there before, and no one has been in this spot more than Mayfield. If beaten, we'll give credit where credit is due. Mayfield is a class act on that football field, and you can ask any coach who lines up on the other side, he'll tell you the same.

Verizon tower less than 2 miles up the road, you will have an excellent signal.

With this being a holiday weekend, and Mayfield being the only team left in the far end of the state, I wouldn't dare be late for this one. It was always full when Beechwood made the 5 hour trip. With the hype that this one is getting, I can only imagine.

Mayfield 17 to 10.

I value the opinion of the Mayfield posters who have actually seen the Colts play a few weeks ago. How many of you DeSales fans have taken in a Mayfield game or, at the very least, watch their games online. Just wondering how you can claim to be the superior 2A team and keep a straight face. And don't come back with that we're confident in our team junk. What did you SEE in watching Mayfield that gives you the upper hand. (((CRICKETS)))

Bring your rain gear.

*Wouldn't trade our QB for either one that suited up for the opposition the last 2 weeks. *The name may change , Murray to Mayfield, but the 2A playoff roadblock will continue for OC. *Two stingy defenses will hit the field next week with a return trip to Bowling Green on the line.

RZ 3 caught our safety deep for their only score, otherwise Cards defensive has neutralized him. Interception in the end zone really hurt Mayfield late in the 2ND Q. This has the makings of a one score game, sure needed those points

Official CalPreps rankings, with last week's games factored in, don't come out until Tuesday. Some of your info you posted is a week old.

Oddly enough, CalPreps predicts this game as only the 3rd closest in 2A this week. Both NCC and CAL are 7 point favorites... Mayfield is 9 (31 to 22) and Danville is an eye opening 24. ( Thread that posted other CalPreps stats were a week old )

277 yards x 0 TD passes still equals 0 points. Oh yeah, that was only 2 quarters of varsity defense. Think again on who has a better defense.

Yeah, what was going on with Murray at the end of the regular season. They totally laid an egg at Tilghman and finished the season at .500. Hard to consider them an elite 2A team coming down the stretch. I like the change the defense put up against the pass heavy Butler Co. team, once everyone got settled in, they played lights out. LB and DE will play a huge role in slowing down the OC scoring train. Cards play the way they played last week, I will have no problem win or lose because I think that was their best effort overall of the season. If that's the case and they come out on the short end Friday night, then OC will have been the better team.
