I think the jury is still out on Henderson / Daviess.

Might be a better than Atomic Balm in the jock strap.

Starters Cash Jones(QB) and Kyle Garner (DB/WR/ST) will not see action tonight. Zy'aire Hughes will see limited reps. Freshman Max Howard gets his first varsity start. As reported by Paducah Sun.

Paducah Sun reported that Peyton Glynn would be available for Murray. I still take the Cardinals 27-13

Knowing the health of the Tigers is the key to how this plays out.

The Mustangs have 4 or 5 key players banged up. 3 sat out last game, so hoping all will be ready Friday night.

No exaggeration on the hostile part. Ask the two 72 year old ladies that were told "they can go over there if they want to cheer for the opponent".

I'm going to use this thread to say I was wrong about the Tornado defense vs Dakota Dixon last week. Figured he would get a hard earned 100 yds. Paducah Sun listed him at 12 rushes for 33 yards. Well done Tornado D, well done. Getting a big lead early aided that effort.

^^That is the biggest understatement of the season!!! Very well said, and I totally agree. It seems to be an assembly line which tells me it's in the coaching from peewee up. Good, no I should say great, coachable and talented kids that soak it all up. Doing their best to keep the tradition alive.

I had the exact same thoughts on the Caldwell / Christian game in regards to the turnovers. I give Christian the credit though for winning on the road and in a tough place to play. I have a sense Christian isn't close to playing their best football yet. I see this game as a pick'em as well.

Very nice material guys, thanks. Great news for the bowling team.:thumb:

I totally agree Purple, especially if they were relating McCracken to the top 5 (I surely wasn't). The discussions I saw were about Ballard, then the Manual game got tossed in the mix. Another poster felt the debate was if McCracken was a "good" 6A team. Wow, guess a top 10 finish in the first two years of existence doesn't qualify one as "good". Not talking "great" or "title contender" here. Boy, sure is hard to get a crumb at the 6A table.:( Yes, I'm really glad the Mustangs have an opportunity to play Bowling Green. Win or lose it's a great thing for our program and this end of the state. From what I understand, an old hatchet had to be buried for the game to happen.I remember most felt McCracken wouldn't score 10 points on Manual's defense or be competitive in this game. The score was 20-0 at the half. McCracken was getting the ball in space and moving it efficiently. Manual's coaches were bickering most of the first half and had a sense of worry (opinion of one McCracken parent who likes to sit on the visitor side to be more relaxed). I will give Manual coaches credit on their second half adjustments. There was one huge difference that needs to be pointed out. Our coaches continued to have the QB drop his hand for the snap in the second half. Took about 3 plays into the 3rd quarter and Manual was jumping the line the rest of the night (credit to them). Our coaches completely failed on this. We could have marched downfield on offside calls with a hard cadence opposite the hand drop until the Manual defense backed off. Stopping the hand drop at the minimum should've have been done. Instead, Manual lived in our backfield the entire second half totally disrupting the passing game. The lack of passing game by McCracken set up Manual with several short field positions and they eventually overcame the deficit. Late in the 4th Manual was up 28-20 but McCracken had plenty of time. Possessions were exchanged and McCracken had one last chance starting around their own 25. Two incomplete passes, a penalty, and a sack put the Mustangs in a 4th and very long from their own 3. They went for it (incomplete pass), Manual took over on downs and punched it in from there to tack on the final of 35-20. McCracken had all three time outs (0:47 or so) and very possibly should've punted expecting Manual to run three times. Don't think Manual would've risked throwing another INT or saving timeouts for McCracken. Odds were horribly microscopic either way, but 4th and forever (from your own EZ) against one of the best D's in the state? The punt was probably the lesser of two evils. All be it, the game was very competitive to the end. Yes, it was a home game for the Mustangs and 1 vs 4. We all understand any team filling that 4 spot is nowhere near the typical 4 seed. So I'm not quite understanding how this game "didn't help McCracken's image". I walked away from that game feeling like our boys definitely played good enough to win but we were strictly outcoached in the second half. Manual went on to play St. X on the road losing 12-7 in a dogfight. Manual 324 total yds 2 turnovers McCracken 298 total yds 1 turnoverHey snakesnot, I appreciate hearing the opponents opinion especially in relation to the different field views. 1)Thanks, I didn't have a good view (I did state I'd like to see it on film). 2)You are correct, that did happen but here's the difference as I saw it: Arnett scrambled for several seconds and even reversed his direction I believe, which would allow time for a lineman downfield. Jones' pass was a 3 step drop quick release. 3)Defense can move as much as they want as long as they don't encroach, correct? Didn't see any Mustangs in the neutral zone until after the RT rocked and step backward. 4) I was in agreement that the Cardinals got hosed on the clock, even at the minimum.
