My 2cents. Easy to make points and yardage on inferior opponents. OC opponents record 77-89 vs Cardinal opponents record 82-75. Also OC played 1 more game to get more yardage total so that should be an average per game number to be somewhat more accurate but still can be skewed by lesser opponents. Bottom line we will see Friday afternoon because either team makes mistake the other has the advantage. I been a Cardinal fan a long long time but I played and watched a lot of football over the years and know these are just kids doing the best they can do and anything can happen. Never seen a game won or lost on here. Good luck to both teams me personally I will be cheering on the Cardinals!!!!

You don’t go undefeated and not be a pretty good team. In the end team with fewest mistakes whether penalties or turnover most likely wins the game.

Who cares game over!!! Concentrate on next week!!! Never win anything looking back you got to look forward!

I guessing OC will be home team since they #1 in RPI but not sure can anyone clarify?

From what I just witnessed UK got the wrong QB commitment but it is UK so that says a little. Beechwood QB way better than LCA!!!

I not a coach but dang you get after the QB on 1 and 2 down then drop into coverage and get picked apart on 3 down all night. I will say it did work once at the end of the game. Mayfield got way too many penalties or this would have been not as close. They got to clean that up for sure!!

One can take stats and say either team can win this game. Beechwood more points per game and yards per game. Mayfield allows less points per game and allows fewer yards per game. Records of opponents is fairly close with Mayfield's going 70-72 while Beechwood's 68-79, so give Mayfield small advantage here. Strength of schedule only way I know to judge is by how many of your opponents went to playoffs and how many game in playoff they have won so far, someone else may look at differently. Beechwood has only had 4 opponents make past 1st round and only 1 make past 2nd round, CC making to 4th round. Mayfield has had 4 opponents make into 2nd round, 2 into the 3rd round and PT still in playing 4th round. Going to give Mayfield advantage here along with home field and trip distance for Beechwood. I leaning Mayfield by 10 but that is all things being equal in game and that's the reason they play the game. Either teams turnovers or penalties can hurt them greatly!! This should be a can't miss game cannot wait till Friday Night. Good luck to both!

Two years in a row the better QB play wore a red helmet!!

Maybe Mayfield should have played the song “Try that in a small town”.

Anyone got stats?

The Western Ky area has probably less than 100K compared to same size area of Northern KY probably over 10x that. That my point. Way more $$$ in the system just look at the facilities. That in and of it self is huge. More opportunities in the area to draw families. Mayfield can win but it would take best they have done thus far. Most likely a perfect game. It just my opinion don’t get all worked up. I love underdogs!!

This game is Beechwood’s to lose. They just have way too big of population area to draw kids from. And when you can draw a D1 prospect from out of state to a small school says a lot about your program and area. The Mayfield area use to have General Tire and other big businesses to attract families. Mayfield was having difficulty keeping businesses as it was and after the disaster even harder to get growth I sure. Hoping for the best for the team and the town in the future.

LCA had a heck of a playbook, the likes of haven’t seen in high school with the QB to execute it. Credit to the Cardinal defense and coordinator for being able to have very few wide open receivers. Giving up 28 to an offense like that is very respectable imo. Card O line preformed very well while the D-line got pressure when needed. Great game by both teams. Cardinals will need another great effort next week if they are to bring home another State Championship!!!

Bottom line the kids for both teams played their hearts out some so intense they couldn't control their emotions, some so hard to have potential major injuries. This game was a good measuring stick for both teams going forward for what they are both chasing which is a state title. We as fans of one side or the other or maybe just don't like one side or the other will always find faults or reasons that the game went one way or the other. No one is perfect and to blame an official or group is the exact reason there is a shortage of officials. This was a classic and this game has controversy every single year that it is close as most close games do. I chose to say good luck to both hope to see both at Koger Field!!!

Long over due for Fulton City and County to consolidate but just my opinion
