Owensboro at Graves County Predictions/Updates
gcbleedblue replied to DevilMayCare's topic in KY Football (High School)
I know Graves and Speed isn’t two words you may have ever heard together before. This year Graves has speed. We have 3 guys, maybe 4 counting Goatley, that can score anywhere on the field. Speed hasn’t been the issue for this team. Turnovers and Special Teams is what cost them the Mayfield game. -
Owensboro at Graves County Predictions/Updates
gcbleedblue replied to DevilMayCare's topic in KY Football (High School)
Finally! Been waiting for this game since our Bullitt East game. Both teams are going to score, and like mentioned before it’ll come down to special teams and turnovers. Owensboro won the last matchup due to these two things. A fumble returned for a td and a kickoff taken back. Graves defense is not as good as it was last year, but the offense is on another level. I think it comes down to QB play for Owensboro. This is his first real heavyweight game. While Graves defense isn’t as good as last year I imagine it’ll be far better than any defense this kid has seen in his short career. We are going to have us a high scoring affair. 45-42. Graves hits a walk off field goal for the win. Going to be a long slow week. -
Not saying this was the motive for this forum, but could very easily give a voice to an angry parent/player/stakeholder to bash a coach from a very narrow perspective. I hope that doesn’t happen.

BluegrassPreps Class 5A Football Rankings 10/4
gcbleedblue replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
I feel like they should keep O and Graves together, SW and BG together, and keep them separated. Then you would have two good programs in each District. You also don’t have O and GC blowing every district team out of the water if they were alone. Gives more meaning to a District Championship. Closest 5A team is Muhlenberg. About an hour and a half away. I do know our school is losing numbers. I’m curious to see if we don’t fall to 4A at some point. Don’t think that’ll happen for a little while though. -
BluegrassPreps Class 5A Football Rankings 10/4
gcbleedblue replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
We struggled a bit after 2014, but last year and this year we have had very solid teams. Just been in Owensboro shadow the last couple of years. Had a chance to beat them last year in the playoffs, but couldn’t score in the redzone on our final drive. It was mainly just a talent drought those 5 years. We have some very good underclassmen and the middle school program appears to be very healthy and talented as well. Hopefully, we are here to stick around this time around. -
BluegrassPreps Class 5A Football Rankings 10/4

Graves probably gets punished this week with a bye and with the 8 and 10 playing one another. But they have a chance to possibly move into the top 5 next week, when them and Owensboro square off. Big test for both teams. Sorry, just pumped for that game! -

Fortunate enough for them I think Mayfield will be in a similar position. -
Mayfield at Caldwell County Predictions/Updates
gcbleedblue replied to DevilMayCare's topic in KY Football (High School)
I did not know this. 5 starters for a 2A school is massive! When did these guys get back? -
Owensboro 65 Muhlenberg County 13
gcbleedblue replied to DevilMayCare's topic in KY Football (High School)
Owensboro with a green QB who hasn't played a legit threat. The teams he has played have won I believe just two games between the 4. This is not his fault, but experience is always better than inexperience. Owensboro is battling a ton of injuries to key players it seems. Lastly, they must travel to Graves County. The stars seem to be aligning for the Eagles. -
Mayfield 100% got hosed that last drive that is accurate, but they also were one yard away from being able to kneel out the game and had a lineman false start. That was the craziest sequence of events I have ever witnessed at a state title game. The rumor has been for the last 5 years is that Morris is about to retire. I have heard it again this year. We all can dream, right? haha

Outside the Bowling Green and South Warren game, any of these games worth keeping an eye on? -
Bullitt East at Danville Predictions/Updates
gcbleedblue replied to BEChargers's topic in KY Football (High School)
That Bullit East Qb can play! Just a playmaker. I know little about Danville, but Bullitt East is a solid team that'll be tough to beat. -

Mayfield clocks them in the second half. -
Trouble at McCracken County
gcbleedblue replied to The Flea Market's topic in KY Football (High School)
Even if a lot were PT kids. You take just 3 athletes out of each class that can kill a program. -
Trouble at McCracken County
gcbleedblue replied to The Flea Market's topic in KY Football (High School)
About 40 or so kids (athletes) left McCracken to go to Paducah over the last three to four years. McCracken didn’t hire someone, someone else with money got mad, took kid and almost the whole neighborhood to PT. Those of us in the area aren’t surprise by this at all. It was only a matter of time until the talent pool dried up. Not Coach Clark’s fault IMO. -
I guess what I mean is, you shouldn't get too excited where you are at if you are from a weak district. Unless they are already somehow calculated in. I doubt they are, but being hopeful. For example, Graves RPI is second in 5A. Our District opponents are super low, besides Owensboro. I'm guessing we can only go down even if we win out.
-
Maybe a dumb question, but is your future opponents current RPI calculated in your current RPI? Obviously they will change as those teams win and lose games, but will it not impact your RPI at all until after you play? This would reward stronger districts and punish a good teams in weak ones.

I personally would let him walk. He is still on the team and has contributed. However, this is the coaches call and should ultimately be his decision. He knows the situation better than any of us. Admin should back the coach.

Does Mayfield stand any chance against the Top 2 in 2A??
gcbleedblue replied to Squirrel's topic in KY Football (High School)
That honestly surprises me, I guess I underestimated how many took advantage of the hold back rule at Mayfield. We just had a few at Graves ended up doing it. -

I figured this year was their best shot. Are they not losing basically every skill position this year? -
BluegrassPreps Class 5A Football Rankings 9/20
gcbleedblue replied to TheDeuce's topic in KY Football (High School)
I'm a little late, but if anyone will make a case for Graves it's probably only going to be me. Currently one of the most explosive offenses. I think we might be number 1 in yards in 5A. Just comparing scores, which isn't the best indicator, but its all we got. Graves 49 McCracken 16 Bowling Green 14 McCracken 10 Bowling Green 18 Highlands 21 Not saying it is the best case, but there's the case and it is not a terrible one. -

gcbleedblue replied to Squirrel's topic in KY Football (High School)
I really hope snakesnot is right. Under his logic if they are far superior than Beechwood like he says, then Covington Catholic can’t be better than Graves who gave Mayfield a pretty good game. I’m not saying he is right, but I would be okay with it. -

Also if ya counting Mayfield out…. Good luck with that. They always play above their talent level. It’ll be a game. -

Maybe I’m ignorant, but why would one team travel to Mayfield, if say Mayfield is third in RPI? -

You really don’t like that kid playing huh?
