CONGRATS Randy Parker and Zoneblitz2

LOL. That would be doing Mayfield a huge disservice. They won this awesome game. No doubt about it.

I am so glad most of the Mayfield fans are not like you. They are a great fan base. There are exceptions ro every rule. You are it.

That is pretty offensive. Saying the only two games where you have complained about the calls were both against Caldwell at home. WOW.

Not crying sour grapes. Get over yourself. I give both teams all the credit for the effort and game play during this competition. Congrats to Mayfield for pulling it out. But, if you payed attention to this game, the third team on the field played way too big a role. PERIOD.

Looks like you are on your own on this one. It isn't just Caldwell fans, there are fans from both sides that see it the same way. It didn't just take place in the last minute, it was the whole game. I have watched the tape, and most of the calls were left out, even live. So many Phantom calls that went against both teams are absolutely reverent. KHSAA should look into this crew. They surely are not capable of calling big games.

Pretty darn close to what I remember.

First off, I got to meet several of the Mayfield fans Friday before the game. I was able to sit a talk some football with some really great guys. I now realize that most of them didn't realize how good Caldwell is, until later in the night. The Tigers are for real, just as the Cardinals are. Both will make a lot of noise in their respective playoffs, and don't be surprised to see both teams in BG in early December. It was a very good game, maybe the best in the state this season. It seemed Caldwell controlled most of the game and COULD have blown the game open at times. The key here being COULD HAVE, they didn't and that speaks volumes for Mayfield. The Cardinals controlled the game late, and we're not going quietly into the night. The sad thing was that there were three teams on the field Friday night in Princeton. Regardless of your opinion of how the calls went, the fact that the presence of the "striped team" was very evident. That is the LAST thing anyone wants in games that carry this type of hype, quality, and implications going forward. The third team should NEVER be in the midst of a game. That wasn't the case here, and I believe that seeing all the comments here that both squads that were supposed to be there agree the refs played a significant role in this contest. Maybe not in the outcome, but definitely were not silent in the progression of the game. This game could have went either way as two contenders slugged it out all night long, it is a shame it had to end in that respect. Both teams can take so much away from this game and take it into the playoffs with them. Mayfield, the perennial contenders they are, can realize they are not unbeatable and EVERY night they better bring their " A " game. The Tigers can take away that they can compete with anybody, and bigger than that they can NEVER take their foot off the gas. 48 minutes of hard nosed football is what it will take to succeed. I look forward to following both these teams through their journey in the playoffs, and hope to see both in BG. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH. GO TIGERS!!!!

Surely you jest. Worst called game ever I agree. That whole crew should be run out of the state. If the KSHAA allows that to go on any longer there should be a change in their leadership.

Only losers tonight were wearing stripes. Worst officiated game I have ever seen.

7 to 3 Tigers at half

AND LOST!!!!

AND LOST!!!!

7 - Madisonville - North Hopkins 5 - Breckinridge Co 3 - Allen Co - Scottsville 2 - Edmonson Co 1 - Franklin - Simpson TB - Madisonville - North Hopkins

5 - Mayfield 3 - Central 3 - Paris 1 - Johnson Central 1 - Owensboro Catholic 1 - Paducah Tilghman 1 - Shelby Co 1 - Greenwood 1 - Corbin 1 - Christian Co TB - 60

This will be a close one. The score should be a little lower than they have been in the past couple of years (2014- Mayfield 40 Caldwell 12 @ Mayfield 2013- Caldwell 48 Mayfield 41 @ Caldwell) based on improved defenses. Both offenses are very good, I believe both better than expected (especially Caldwell). With both teams playing well it is a toss up, with a slight edge going to Mayfield on paper, but it being a home game for Caldwell probably negates any edge. Having said that, I believe it is a 28 to 30 final score. My real hope is both teams have good games and leave Friday night without injury. Both are poised to make deep runs in the playoffs in their respective classes. GOOD LUCK to both.

NO WAY!!!

What about 2 and 4. That is my pick.

You can keep the mustard. Just not a condiment I enjoy. But, if you like it you might want to keep some handy.

Hold it right there. I have been selling EVERY west team. Sure, I sell Caldwell. I also sell Mayfield, McCracken Co, PT, and Murray (to name a few). I have sold the west all season. Especially in 3A, its is flat LOADED. I have NEVER said Caldwell is getting to Bowling Green. I have said the have a shot at it. It will be a tough row to hoe for anybody in the west. That is a fact JAKE. I do have my hopes up for a deep run by Caldwell. I will be satisfied with a semifinal game at home. That would be an awesome year for Caldwell. Anything more than that is icing on the cake. A year after losing Mr Football, stepping up a class, and making a semifinal. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Just getting that far will be no easy ride. if you want me to eat crow for stating things that anyone else would say, then so be it. As long as you don't mind if I deep fry it and add lots of ketchup.

Let me get this right. Nothing against Central, they are having a great season. BUT, they narrowly beat CAL (7-2) and just slipped by Waggener (5-4). While Mayfield (8-1) has a loss to McCracken County (8-1) in OT whose only loss is a game 1 defeat to Paducah Tilghman and has rolled since (less the Mayfield game). So McCracken is a chump, Mayfield is just lucky, Caldwell is a dream, Central is a world beater, all except (based on something that happened in prior years) Belfry is better than them all? There is nothing wrong with being a die hard fan, but (in the words of ESPN analysts on MNF Countdown) "C'mon man".

I doubt anyone in western Ky will agree with that statement.

I agree that to the outside eyes, the Caldwell/Mayfield game has big implications going forward. If Caldwell rolls Mayfield (NOT going to happen), they would become the frontrunners in 3A. A close game (probable), they are in the conversation as a front runner (should already be). A Mayfield blowout (doubtful), would put an exclamation point on the Cardinal regular season. Again, I feel Mayfield is one of the best teams in the state regardless of class. Boyle vs Paul Dunbar and LexCath vs Southwestern. Nothing to see here. Just need everyone to stay away from injury. Central vs PRP. A Central win puts another feather in their cap in a very strong season. Other than that, not much to learn here. Belfry vs. J C. Could learn a lot from this game also. Although Belfry will probably make a run to Bowling Green, can they compete with the west winner who is coming from a loaded division? A big win here would solidify that they can. A loss may indicate the championship in 3A could be decided in the west semi final. All of that to say "who knows". Could a loss for one of these teams be a wake up call that they haven't reached the finish line yet, or they just aren't as good as billed? I believe all the questions will be settled on the field, and I can't wait to get it started. Football fans have to love this time of year.
