DeSales15

Final

This game was definitely won in the trenches! Hats off to Mayfield

I've heard that Carr along with maybe another player had some "disciplinary" issues. He's going to be out at least another couple weeks but sounds like he'll definitely be back for playoffs

The player was defenseless but he clearly he uses his shoulder. I don't know the rules in high school for targeting but I just hope this kid isn't a senior.

How would you rate CAL's DLine this year versus DeSales DLine last year? MF's Oline is essentially the same, but a year older, wiser, and better. I'm thinking that might be the best metric in figuring out where we stack up.

As a DeSales fan, I think CALs DL is much better. They're bigger and more athletic. They have 2 division 1 players in Olsafka and Paulson. That's one of the best defensive lines I've seen at the small school level.

It was a solid game. I was very impressed with CAL's defense, especially their front 7. I thought DeSales made some great adjustments in the 2nd half. They just weren't able to finish drives offensively. I was very disappointed to see CAL come stomp on the logo the first time they played in the new stadium. However, it is a rivalry. Looking forward to the rematch in the playoffs. Go Colts

I have been to lots of games Colt Football having watched my boys take on mighty Desales for many years. Too many painful endings to the season for us CAL fans/families. No question that Desales has been the better program. What I have come to learn is that the players quickly move on from the rivalry once they get to college or the workforce. They play football at college together, join the same fraternities and even work together in real life. It is really the current players, fans and us crazy parents that act like this game is the end all be all. I perhaps more than most am guilty, guilty, guilty. The fact is that contrary to the comments of good ole Jimmy Seymour above, fans are all the same. They, including me, see the world through their own team's colors. The other team and it's fans are always mean and angry and disrespectful while your own fans are good God fearing honest people who never say or step over the line. We all know that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Even in defeat in the playoffs I will say that watching these two teams play against one another is a pleasure, albeit sometimes a painful one. I hope the Colts and the Centurions stay injury free and maybe, just maybe, I am secretly hoping that CAL loses the regular season game to change up the mojo! Lastly, having played games at Iroquois and Southern I can tell that we are very excited to play at your new stadium. A program like Desales deserves it.

I couldn't agree more with this. Very well said

Final

As a Cardinal fan I can't help but already be excited about next year. Stop and look at what we return. That's scary good for us. Losing receivers and kicker. Receivers are a deep spot. Kicker is going to hurt though. Oh well Back to enjoying this one for now

Is the kicker getting any college looks? I was very impressed when they played desales

Mayfield fans, we know how it is. Last year same kind of thing happened when we played Murray last year and they called back the 70-yard touchdown for sideline interference. It sucks for NCC but that's how the game was dealt. Congrats to Mayfield on their state championship

There is a difference between missing tackles and having a talented player make you miss.

Missed tackles are missed tackles. Yall had a hell of a RB but they were reaching their arms out to tackle

I really felt like desales beat themselves with the flags and missed tackles. Props to Mayfield coaches on the 2nd half adjustments. That was a great football game

13-7 colts

This happens ever so often thru the years. A team has their best team ever, and they think since this is their best team ever, that they are the best team ever. Desales' fans are happy for, and proud of, their best team ever.

 

That lofty perch you all have earned is where Mayfield lives, for the past thirty years. You may win, you may lose. But you aint nothing special. Not to us. Teams are always good in the semi-finals. We are used to playing teams at the peak of their success. Those teams, including yours, are not used to playing us.

 

This week's prediction....the colts get branded with a big ole red M.

This is not our best team ever and no one ever said that. We're just confident in our team ?

This should be an awesome matchup. I would like to pick OC with the upset, but I don't see Mayfield losing this game, especially at home. Mayfield 28-21.

Just curious, how did Monroe score their 2 touchdowns?

I would absolutely love to make a trip down to Mayfield in a few weeks, but that's looking way too far ahead. I know very little about Monroe, but from the sound of it, it seems like they must be legit and DeSales fans already know that a rematch with CAL will be a tough one. In order to get to Bowling Green, you have to take one game at a time, so I'm looking forward to Green County this week, and then next week we can keep talking potential matchups.

We took a top 10 6A team to OT. What Happened in the two games where you guys were shut out?

I wasn't trying to be smart. I wanted to know what happened that game ?

Not even close, MF by a mile

What happened the McCracken game?

It's hard to judge unless you've seen every team play. I can't speak for Mayfield, but I know CAL has a pretty solid defense that is consistent every year, and I know Murray also has a good defense. As for DeSales, in 2013 we gave up 9.8 ppg, in '14 we gave up 6.1 ppg, and this year its at 7.7 ppg. The most we've given up all year is 16 points to CAL, which one of those scores was a pick six and one of their field goals was set up off a pick. The past few years I feel like we've had the best defense and I think the same for this year, but like I said, I haven't seen Mayfield play. Most of the teams at the top have solid defenses and will no doubt win one of these teams a state championship.

DeSales made way too many costly mistakes and CAL played sound football. I think it's clear we're not at the same point we were the last 2 years, but this is also the same position we've been in before. We have some great coaches and I trust them moving forward. Looking forward to making the trip back to CAL the week before thanksgiving

Question for Colt & CAL fans, I know both these teams are very good football teams, but really little else. How did these 2 become rivals? Always in a district together?

I since some bad blood; is that just a bad assumption on my part or just good hard nosed rivals? Thanks!

Its more of just being a hard nosed rivalry. There's been a few instances in the past and the games tend to get chippy but I think it's safe to say both programs respect each other
