No Mayfield but OCath twice 😪

Sevil should change name to Jimmy the Greek, well done!

Would that be one Uncle Percy Ledbetter?

This has been one of the most interesting threads all year, thank you for the effort.

UK is a terrible place for the finals in my opinion, no atmosphere and too many empty seats to change that. On Cats game day the students have to move their cars. That would have been the least they could have done and I do not mean every lot but some of the lots near the stadium. Parking was terrible as was the atmosphere.

Red Helmet just released their state game for any who want to watch. It airs on their Face Book page and on their You Tube page

Mayfield Senior Kicker Lincoln Suiter lives in a small WKY town where football is king. After the tornado devastated Mayfield, the community looked for it's beloved Cardinal football team to bring a glimmer of hope, something to help the community forget the reality of the devastation, something to believe in, to cheer for, to help heal. Lincoln missed a field goal and a late extra point in the 2022 state championship game in a 14 - 13 loss to Beechwood. The weight of the loss weighed heavy on Lincoln but here is his story of redemption. https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/sports/suiters-redemption-sends-mayfield-back-to-another-state-title-game/article_8b6791fa-8e2f-11ee-94c4-173cda739f07.html?fbclid=IwAR2Ur44f81W8dg-Eo5fPRjzHaC9XRFfmgglHfzOTwk7MgIq8jpGBUZnKJA4

Congrats Purples, making WKY proud!

One note I want to throw out there is a congratulations to Owensboro Catholic, Beechwood and Lexington Christian Academy. All 3 of these teams deserve high accolades and were all good enough to have been the state champs this year. All 3 pushed the eventual champ to the limit.

Mayfield is blessed to have some unreal younger classes at the moment and you can never count them out. This is a question for another day and thread for now.

Great night to be a Mayfield Cardinal ! Couldn’t be prouder of this bunch !

I have arrived at the grocery, enjoyed the thread on this game all week and it was fun getting to cut up with all. Here’s to the hopes no one gets hurt and it’s a great game. Go Big Red!

True to the word but I will add what I posted as part of it from what I have been told by old timers.

Tons of great teams and several undefeated teams from way back then but its hard to garner media to support you this far West where there are no major populations centers. That's my opinion for what its worth. In addition, a couple number one ranked teams that got upset would be the rest of the answer.

I don't think OC has faced a QB of Cartwright's caliber or Starks caliber after trolling their games. Thoughts on anyone they have faced as good?

Fodder for thought: Calpreps Mayfield #1101 3 Best wins: LCA #1359, Beechwood #2080, Graves Co. #3653 OC #1310 3 Best Wins: Owensboro #2065, Greenwood #4035, Henderson #4255 TP94 Power Ratings (11-28-23) Class 2A: Mayfield 70.93 Owensboro Catholic 70.88

Interesting we haven’t gave up 40 or 50 points the entire year so I’m guessing you think they’re offensive is the best we will face this year?

Alot of OC offense and Atwell talk and certainly deserved, but I am shock at the lack of talk about the double headed monster in the Mayfield Offense. I, as a true arm chair quarterback/ex player who thinks he knows it all, think that this is a great match up for the Cards offense. After watching OC vs Owensboro, Somerset and N Hardin I drew a few conclusions of my own. The Cards have the best offense OC has seen so far and I think its by a wide margin. OC can commit to stopping Starks running and some kid no one seems to mention can pick them apart in the air or OC can commit to stopping this nameless Cards QB and Starks can have a hay day. If OC tries to do both I see the Cards lighting up the scoreboard like that Ace's High Pin Ball Machine in the corner of the local gas station. Did I happen to mention I think the Cards are better up front on both sides. This should get some great opinions so let's hear what the rest of you arm chair QB's think.

Yes, it will stay indefinitely.

I do noy believe Mayfield has ever lost to OC. I could be wrong but I recall hearing that said years ago and I know we haven't lost to them in the last 25 years.

If it’s at your place next year hope you all have a pig roast 😂

Leg 2 of trifecta complete for the Cards. If they can find a way to win this one they will have run the improbable!

Yes OC is home team and will be on the South side of Commonwealth Stadium. Mayfield as visitors due to lower RPI is on the North side. Tixs are already on sale. If your a Mayfield fan, the North visitors side is all general admission. If your a OC fan, between the 30's is reserve seating. Strong chance of rain so you can also get tixs for the hospitality suite known as the Long Ship. Its not a good spot to watch the game from inside though but it will keep you dry and tied to good seats outside. Cost is obviously more.

Congrats Cov Cath, great win! I hate this for my windy neighbors from PT!
