7 - Elizabethtown 5 - N.Bullitt 3 - Spencer Co 2 - S.Oldham 1 - T.Nelson TB - Elizabethtown

Actually putting CAL ahead of Mayfield makes no sense to me. You talk about the winner of CAL and Desales have won state, but, truth is, only Desales has won state. CAL has never been their. While it's quite possible that had CAL defeated Desales the last 2 years when it counted, they may have won it all, hence, the MAY. Certainly no guarantee. And, imo, until they actually step foot on Feix Field with their uniforms on, there's no comparison. I'm not saying they aren't capable of beating Mayfield, Desales, OB Catholic or any of the other highly ranked teams, but, at this point in time, they don't deserve to be ranked ahead of them.

So this isn't a Top 10 ranking, it's a "Who had the best win this week" ranking? I get it now. IMO, while the SW win was a nice win, I've said all along that John Hardin was getting way too much hype and weren't as good as what they were made out to be. I expected a 2-3 TD win by SW in that game.

They'll get a good test next week against Caldwell and we'll be able to tell where they're really at after that game.

Last year, PT had issues in the trenches as they were pretty small and young. Those guys are a year older, more mature, bigger and more experienced this year. The skill kids were there last year. In addition, they were learning a whole new system under a new coaching staff. I'm sure they're more comfortable this year and it sounds like they're more disciplined, which was always an issue under the prior regime. In PTs heyday, they relied on beating teams to the edge on offense and explosive plays and then a fast, swarming defense. Sounds like they're getting back to there roots. Not a good sign for opposing teams.

Not having your star player has to hurt, especially with all the new faces they have this year. In saying that, don't underestimate this Paris team. They showed signs last year and looks like they're taking that next step.

You can pretty much chalk this one up. SW's defense is too stout to give up as many points as JH needs, unless JH can get some help with special teams and their defense.

I think they have a shot to come out of the east. They may have more trouble coming out of their district than they would in the semis..

Hate that the fans had so much trouble. That's a 2 hour drive, so, a shame fans had to miss 1/2 the game or more. As far as the game goes, the Cards couldn't have played much better in the 1st half, especially offensively. 6 possessions, 6 scores, 6 PATs. Defensively, on Ft Campbells 7 possessions, 5 resulted in a 3 and out and only 3 1st downs and 70 yards given up. The 2nd half was basically going through the motions with a lot of JV and freshmen with a running clock.

Final

1st half stats: 1st downs ... Mfd - 10 ... FtC - 3 Rush Yds ... Mfd - 105 ... FtC - 68 Pass Yds ... Mfd - 178 ... FtC - 2 Total Yds ... Mfd - 283 ... FtC - 70 Fumbles ... Mfd - 0/0 ... FtC - 3/2 Interceptions ... Mfd - 0 ... FtC - 1 Penalties ... Mfd - 5x35 ... FtC - 3x17 Trajon Bright had 13 carries for 104 yards Landon Arnett completed 11 passes in 14 attempts for 178 yards and 4 TDs Will have a running clock to start the 2nd half and a lot of JV guys expected to play in the 2nd half. Won't do the play by play due to the score from here out, but, will update scores as they occur..

Complete domination in the 1st half.. 6 possessions for Mayfield and 6 touchdowns to go along with 6 straight PATs..

After a quick completion for a gain of 30, a couple of plays later, Arnett hits Caldwell in the end zone for another score.. PAT is good.. 42-0 with 40 secs remaining in 1st half.

After another 3 and out, Cards have it again at midfield with just under 2:00 minutes to go in 1st half.

After a 5 yd offside penalty on the Cards, Tucker takes it for 8 yards down to the 2, then Bright takes it in from 2 yards out.. 4:11 to go in 1st half, Mayfield extends lead to 35-0..

Bright with a big run down to the 5. 1st and goal.

Another 10 yard reception to the 19 for a 3ed quick 1st down on the drive.

Cards on the move again with 2 quick 1st downs all the way to the Falcon 29 yd line.

3 and out for the Falcons.. 1st and 10 Mayfield at their own 44..

Bad news for the Falcons as their QB has injured his hand and has to come out of the game. He actually hurt it on the Cards offensive series, as he plays both ways for the Falcons.

Arnett hits Kennemore on a post pattern for a 15 yard score, PAT is good, so, with 10:23 to go in 2nd qtr, Mayfield extends the lead to 28-0.

Kennemore with an 18 yard punt return giving them the ball at the Falcon 32..

End of 1st quarter. 21-0 Mayfield leads. Ft Campbell ran 3 consecutive plays to end the qtr, losing a yard on each play, so, they'll be punting it back to Mayfield on a 4th and 13 from their own 17 yard line.

Falcons jumps off sides after a short gain and then Arnett hits Caldwell for a 9 yard score.. PAT was good.. 21-0 Cards with 1:41 left in the 1st qtr.
