Toothpick

I tried to send this from my phone but service is iffy to say the least. I went to get water at Mayfield High School and when I got there several of the volunteers said we have somthing you may want, Beechwood water. They led me to pallets of water taken off a BW trucks. First off I needed water bad and 2nd ot was BW water which held higher meaning to me. Thanks to any and all of my friends who up there, it is greatly needed and appreciated. While I was getting my BW water several trucks labeled Franklin Simpson Football pulled up with former FS Head Coach Timmy Schlosser in the lead truck.

I just wanted to check in and tell all on here that my family and self all are safe and learning how to cope with the day to day to day challenges this diaster presents. We had a generator from the go and that has made our quality of life much better than it has for many. Not a whole home gen but a 7,000 kw one that backfeeds into our electric box once you throw the electric main. We were also fortunate being a few blocks out of the debris field so while we had damage, that damage is nothing like what you are seeing on tv. Our biggest challenge is drinking water and water to flush the toilets. The tornado knocked out 2 of the cities water towers, the water plant and sewage plant. The other big issue for me is keeping gas for the genset but a couple stations are now up and pumping gas with generators. Support at all levels has been mind bending. Water and all other essential supplies have started pouring in from communities far and near like the help from Ft. Mitchell and Ft. Thomas, and local communities like Paducah and Murray. Schools like Beecchwood and Tilghman, Highlands and UK, Murray and U of L, ect. There are also many out of state folks here helping from all over the nation. The national guard and arm forces, there are more soilders down here right now than at Ft. Canpbell. They dug 2 massive wells in 4 days and are back today in a attempt to get water flowing again. There are utility companies from all over the US that have sent crews and FEMA is air flighting generators for people non stop and said they could get 3,500 generators here. The airplanes comming and going bringing in supplies is non stop. The roadways are full with convoys of humvees and heavy equipment. The federal response from FEMA and relief organizations is huge. I tried to get food yesterday and not a single restaurant will take your money and they will give you as much as you want. National food chains to out of town food trucks are everywhere and not a single one will take your money. There are more food choices here right now than we have every even had and they are mobile, like Chick-fil-A, ect. This is a horrible tragedy and it will have us down for a long time but the good is everywhere here in they recovery effort. Thank all you for your prayers and to the many that have provided help in otherways.

None of us have internet or power here so getting to post on here depends on getting a cell post out and I’m guessing the system is overwhelmed right now so it’s not that we don’t want to but more that we can’t. I got the Beechwood letter from JAson Buc tonight and it moved me to tears. I wanted to tell all of you all who have posted and done for us how appreciative we are and thank you all. God Bless you all. Football seems so small right now.

I live by the school and it was spared for the most part and is a shelter for now

My family and myself are all safe but some are not. The deathtole is comming. Thanks for all the concerns. Please pray for us. My house had light damage but 4 blocks North is where the debris field starts. I lost a window a tree limb and a fence. 4 Blocks up is undescribable, pics will get out soon. We have no power or water. I have a genset. so I am a lucky one but the water issue and gas is hard to get. A friend in E Prairie, MO is bringing both and I just heard that the state is sending water.

Slow, not at all, they are quick, I would question the Beechwood game as well, they were out manned and laid an egg. I've seen every game every year and alot of the main competitions games on film and would not get caught up in judgement from 1 game. Just look at Herogat's game with Mayfield for example vs Mayfield in 2019. From that game he looked very average. The last 2 years was no suprise for anyone who is a avid follower and the progression to get back to the top would be right where one would expect. If Cartwright can continue to improve, outside the egg vs Beechwood he was pretty good, look at his stats, it will give us the pass and run punch that we have not had the last 2 years and he has the RB in Starks who will be one of the best backs in the state. Looking at what the other big 2 lost to graduation and what I think we have back is why I draw my conclusion. While I am certainly only a armchair QB and its only my opinion, but I have been evaluating with a decent degree of accuracy for the last 30 years. I may be off and certainly I am biased pro Mayfield. Being a armchair QB I can always change my tune if its not going my way.

I'm gonna go ahead and throw it out there, after 2 long hard years of suffering, I think Mayfield is the early favorite for next year. Speaking of the 98 Middlesboro team, the 2 players that still standout in my memory are the kicker (a Wynn kid maybe) and the noseguard. Great team that left no doubt against a really good Mayfield squad. I have often wondered how in the world Bell Co beat them that year.

Mayfield takes it show on the road and the fans follow.

If your a Mayfield fan, you have to be excited, in 2019 it was the largest rebuild in 20+ years and this year the Cards made big strides but everyone was pretty sure the final 4 was the likely ceiling. With the returning players the Cards should be the juggernaut of old. The steady improvement of Sophmore QB Cartwright was significant this year and if he contines to improve the Cards will have the other pieces of the puzzle needed. The recieving corps should be outstanding with Stephenson and Jackson back who both had great seasons this year and Starks back at running back is going to be huge. Having all state linebacker Rogers back from his injury on defense is huge and will anchor the best linbacking core Mayfield has had in some time. I looked over the returning players and stats for LCA and Beechwood. LCA lost 6 on defense and 7 on offense while Beechwood lost 5 on offense and 6 on defense. Im guessing the QB spot will be the telling sopt for Beechwood next year and it looks like the replacement will be young. It will be interesting to see what Murray looks like next year. The new head coach Bowling has a handful of state titles in Tennessee and upset Mayfield this year.

Oh lord, I've heard this line before 🤣. Sorry JB, your gonna kill me but I couldn't help myself on that one.

Was out of town and didn't get a chance to give Beechwood fans on here my congrats until now. Congrats, perfect season.

So this is what they mean when they call it a barn burner.

As a sore bottomed Mayfield fan, and I stress fan, I think everyone should be cautious in how much weight you place on the Beechwood mauling of Mayfield. Before the season I believe most informed fans knew that getting to the final 4 was this years likely ceiling. Considering the 2020 Cards campaign, reaching the final 4 was a huge improvement. That all said, make no mistake, Beechwood has a whale of a team and clearly so does LCA. These are the best two in 2A and the up their in the entire state reguardless of class. I have not done enough to say who I think wins but we certainly have the top two teams in the title game by a huge margin.

????? what am I relaxing about, I don't think I did or said anything, well atleast nort yet though the guy trolling I guess I could take a shot at. 😂 Getting beat by 1 to me is much harder than this. Beechwood left no doubt and I think most knew it was comming, I privately told JB and a couple others it was not likely to be pretty tonight. We made great strides from last year to this year and we should be in a great spot next year with what we return. After one like this one just has to tip their hat and hope to see them next year. Well unless we get demoted to 1A.

Until tonight the series was 8-0, the first meeting was in 1995.

Actually we have 6 in 2A and 6 in 1A

Congrats to all you Tigers. I will be pulling for you at state.

Since your my buddy, congrats JB. To be honest though I’m just a poor loser and bad sport. Granted I told you it was comming and it did!

No serious suprise, we had hoped it would not happen but it has

Somebody go call 911, SOS, we have a murder to report

I have not been in 7 years and can't recall but I use to go there alot when my wife's family still lived in Edgewood and it has always had good food.

He will remind you of a slightly smaller and younger Stinson but right handed. He is a sophmore and is in my opinion developing alongthe lines of Stinson

I wish I had me some BarleyCorn's. I was a last minute scratch, well last night, for the trip. It will be the first one between the 2 small school super powers I have missed going all the way back to 95. Makes me sad but it is what it is. I hope we have a great game and may the winner bring home a state title. With that said I must say Good luck Cards!
