Cole Katzman ran his heart out. Looked really good. I think if Graves would have had Dennis available and had the one-two punch with him and katzman it would’ve made their offense better and possibly could have closed out some of those longer drives. I thought it should’ve been 14-14 at half but it was 21-0. I think if we can eliminate some mistakes we can definitely give Owensboro a game next month. A junior dominated team. I feel good about the rest of the season and beyond.

Maybe I’m a homer, while Mayfield won heavily, I feel like the score doesn’t reflect how the game really was.

Hamstring injury.

Was told last night at middle school game that Dennis Marrs is still a couple weeks out from being back. Pretty big hit for the Eagles.

Come on guys. Juh Juh played on a broken foot last year. This isn’t going to work. Ha! In all seriousness if he misses I hope he has a speedy recovery. He plays the game the right way.

I mean, maybe me and that’s probably about it on here.

Graves handled Henderson pretty well last night in the scrimmage. Anyone know how good they are suppose to be? Graves hung with Mayfield for a half but had no real offense last year. I’m expecting a little closer game than many might expect. Also important note: Graves lead back Dennis Marrs still looks to be out. Not sure he plays first couple of games. He’s a difference maker when healthy.

If not playing a game is better than playing a game for RPI, then that’s something that needs to be addressed immediately. As a coach you are stuck between a rock and hard place. Do I schedule a game that could cost us a home playoff game against the likes of LCA? A coach should never be put in that decision and the kids deserve to play 10 games.

Perspective. Not better for me week 2 haha!

Not many times do you get 4 star athlete show up at your door. Imagine this is quite a difference maker.

These kids deserve 10 games. I know there’s a ton of variables here, but just so unfortunate.

I agree with everything you said. Paducah and Mayfield are probably just as talented though. What’s nice is we will get to see them before Owensboro and get some good battle tested games. Returning key players on offense is QB Kaiden Gregory and then they got Dennis Marrs back at rb who only played the first 4 games last year. Both juniors. They return their entire O-Line which can be a factor those first few games. Not many seniors but those who play should be solid. I guess we will know alot more in a few weeks.

Graves will be junior dominated. Feel like they will have a good team, not great, but just solid all around. This thread gets me a little excited that we might finally have a shot to knock Owensboro off with it being at Graves. Graves schedule before Owensboro is Mayfield, Paducah, Caldwell, McEwan TN. I think at worst Graves rolls into the Owensboro game 2-2 with a 2 game winning streak. That’s worst case scenario in my mind.

Did they ever fill that open week? A nine game schedule has huge implications on RPI. Could be good or bad. If I’m mayfield I’m not scheduling a cupcake team that’ll just lower their RPI unless it’s last resort, because those kids do deserve a 10 game season.

I always thought he was underused.

Yes that is accurate. This would have been his fourth season, and I really thought was doing a great job. I’m out of town on a business trip so I’m kind of out of the loop, but did hear this news early this morning. Gregory being the interim is HUGE for the program. Hard to find a coach of that caliber this point into the season. His son will also serve as QB. Very tough schedule this year. 3 of first 4 opponents are Mayfield, Paducah and Owensboro. Definitely had to have a replacement like this.

If that happens I would assume Barren moves up based on this thread. Meaning you'd have 12 teams here out west. Graves, marshall, muhlenberg, madisonville, owensboro, apollo, grayson, ohio, and 4 bowling green schools They should do 3 districts with 4 teams if that were the case, but it wont happen. Theyll continue to make us drive 2.5 hours to one another. They’ll do 6 teams in D1 and 6 in D2. Always have. Maybe this is just me denying myself what would make the most sense. That way I don't get excited that I will get to go to games again. I can't do 4-5 hours on the road Friday nights anymore.

This actually has a lot of potential! First 3 rounds do districts 1-4 playing based on rpi and 5-8 based on rpi. Fourth round would be like it is now. Great concept.

There is zero chance they will only give far West Ky a 4 team district. I'm not sure what the reason is, but 5A District 1 is a lock for 6 teams. 6 teams that are 2-3 hours away from each other. Most spaced out and most teams has never made sense to me, but it seems it always happens. I'm sure there is a reason, I just haven’t figured it out yet. I wish KHSAA will put those 4 teams in a district that you mentioned. Madisonville is still an hour and a half away, but that beats the 2 hours and 30 minutes we have driven for district games in Bowling Green before. My poor son wouldn't get home until after 1 am traveling home from some District games.

If it benefits his family and helps him financially, sure go take the job. But I think that’s a terrible attitude. Just 3 months ago similar comments were probably made about this years Bullitt East team.

I love how excited you are. We too were always told Graves County could NEVER win a state championship. That you might as well send your kids to Mayfield if they want to play for one. 2014 kind of debunked that myth. While we didn’t win it, it’s now a goal of the program every year. I hope our next trip our community gets to experience what you are experiencing.

Pulling for the Chargers. They have been overlooked all season. That offense they ran against us this year was the most beautiful offense I have ever witnessed. The Qb is a stud and if he has a solid game the Chargers pull the “upset.”

Its Mayfield. All those eligible took the year basically. I have a rule. don't pick against Mayfield. I'm sticking with that rule. Mayfield finds ways to win. Score 100% should have been 21-14 at half last Friday. LCA made a mistake and when you do that Mayfield makes you pay. Game changer. Mayfield 35 Beechwood 28

If that’s the case it’s pretty bittersweet. I hate he doesn't get to play linebacker, but that is awesome he gets to sit in there a be a part of it.

Huge news! Hes a stud. I thought he tore his ACL?
