First hats off to OC they played a heck of a game. But Mayfield, got to give it to you. As someone has already said Mayfield has played 3 caliber state championship teams within 3 weeks and yes it was obvious that Mayfield and their FANS was running on fumes and if you throw in the Murray game that's actually 4 helluva teams. Congrats to Mayfield very well deserved...

Xavier Biggers will be the 3rd generation of Biggers to play for a state championship for Mayfield. His grandfather was on Mayfields first 2 state championship teams in 1977 and 1978 with 78 team going 13-0 undefeated and considered by most in Mayfield as the best team in Mayfields history and ranked number 1 that year by Litenhouse. Father played in state championship game with the team going into state championship game 14-0 but got handled pretty good by Middleboro I believe in 2000?. HOPEFULLY the state championship will only skip over 1 generation and he will help Mayfield get back on top after several missed opportunities....this is a pretty cool feat and awesome that 3 generations will be playing in state championship game for Mayfield...good luck Cards.

So there you go...another QB that Mayfield has faced that will help in preparations...

Not saying James is not better as a passer but iMO he's not as good of a runner as Atwell and is not ask to run design running plays like Atwell. The Christian County QB also has a different style of running as Atwell and was somewhat effective against Mayfield. Those 2 will help Mayfield game plan against Atwell was my point. MAYFIELD has played against 2 athletic QBs that should help in preparation. We all know what James bring to the table and I am fully aware of his training regime and it was evident in his physique. Total muscle and his running is also what helped PT beat Mayfield. Didn't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers...let the discussion continue...again a chess match for both coaching staffs.

PT had a pretty good QB that could run but NOT as good as Atwell, Christian County had one that gave Mayfield fits for a minute because he was very athletic and fast...but at the same time don't put Atwell in arms way to much against Mayfield and get him hurt especially early on because Mayfield will hit you and hit you hard...let the chess match begins...

Love the video and I am very surprised he only has 1 offer. May I ask who that offer is from? What these colleges look for in a athlete/football prospect has baffled me and with him having 1 offer makes me more baffled because he's definitely a athlete and a heck of a prospect. Tell him to just be patient they'll come. I would probably even pick him as my QB at next level because of his athletic ability. With all that being said I will hold off my pick of whose better until after the Mayfield game. Sometimes video don't give due justice as I was not that impressed with Hayden until I seen up close and personal his QB savyness is what impressed me the most..so let's see what he can do against Mayfield. As good as he maybe as I said with LCA receivers that ran through big bad Boyle Co. Secondary that's not happening against Mayfield and it didn't. OC receivers won't run through Mayfields Secondary either...man again this is the matchup on the backend...

Da Truth: I finally got to watch more than just highlights of OC. IMO Atwell doesn't appear to be the best of the 3 QBs. (BW/QB is the best) now he is a beast of a looking athlete that appears to almost be OC biggest player now I see why he plays some on defense. Now his running could I say could be a little bit of a problem. OC doesn't have the running game LCA nor receivers or passing scheme of BW. OC doesn't appear to be as athletic or fast as Mayfield at the skill positions or as some teams Mayfield has played. OC will have TROUBLE stopping JuJu and Mayfields receivers. If OC wins, yes, this will be an upset to me as well. I will definitely take battle tested Mayfield in this one.

You're absolutely right about 78. Mayfield went undefeated and was state champs that year. Actually Chris Biggers, Xavier Biggers grandfather intercepted a pass from QB/Chris Brown who went to Notre Dame and played DB for Pittsburgh Steelers. Hopefully his grandson can get a interception against another great OC quarterback in a victory....go cards...

I totally agree if you just read this thread you would've thought Mayfield lost. As a long time reader and recent subscriber I have always notice and recently said in a post SOME Mayfield fans (not all) on here definitely cry when they lose but sometimes more when they win...I was glad Mayfield won and hope they win next week on to the Owensboro thread...

I just read on Beachwood and Mayfield thread that Atwell is best QB of the 3 including LCA's wow...Beechwood's QB was the real deal best I have seen in a very long while, he knew how to not take sacks and throw the ball away, just football savy....but is his receivers better? Because BW had 2 of the best I have seen in a while including PT. They just knew how to scheme them open...if he's better, receivers and scheme is better then I want to see it and if so then Mayfield could be in trouble. Going with battle tested Mayfield in this one...

Thank you all I wanted to know was the series record with it being 9-2 that means at one point it was 9-0...not saying kriptonite or ducking anyone but both are pretty good records against a good program like Beechwood...when you factor in Mayfield has won at Beechwood and Beechwood has never won at Mayfield it gets interesting....forgot about the 95 championship also thanks for correcting me...not sure about watering the field but I do remember that being mentioned on this site...again in my opinion Beechwood is KING of 2A with 3 straight until someone beats them.... and beating Mayfield at Mayfield appears to be a tall task even for them...good luck to both teams and it appears the weather is going to be nice....

I stand to be corrected if you're right...I do know when they were in same class talk was Beechwood appeared to move in class due to enability to beat Mayfield. I do think make leads in the series and Curious on what the series count is? And I do believe Mayfield has won at Beechwood once or twice and Beechwood has never won at Mayfield. Everything else seems to be correct?

Come on mayfield faithful don't let BW bring up recent success as any type of measuring stick. Mayfield use to own Beechwood and beat them anywhere starting in 2002 state championship game. Then in the playoffs at Mayfield and at Beechwood. Many Mayfield fans thought Beechwood moved down in class because they just couldn't beat Mayfield in the playoffs. Then in 2020 the year Murray beat Mayfield in the playoffs and Beechwood beat a great LCA team in state game. Beechwood really wanted to play Mayfield because they knew they had the better team and would of killed Mayfield. Then in 2021 that same Beechwood team basically reclassed due to covid and FINALLY beat Mayfield at home something like 35-6. Then of course a 1 point win in state game last year because of a missed extra point, overtime would of been interesting. Mayfield has had the better of Beechwood throughout history. Beechwood has won state championship three times straight and that is awesome and they are the favorites IMO until beaten. It should be a GREAT game but Mayfield does leads in the series and is playing at home.

Did I not say this game was a backend game as much as in the trenches? Mayfield has way to much speed at WR and DB...they were playing too far off Mayfields WRs and LCA didn't even throw Xavier Biggers way and when they did...house call pick 6...what will BW do against him? I think they got the memo...

What I have seen on games on YouTube I think Mayfield has better athletes at the skill positions and we kinda all agree more overall team speed then that makes me less scared or worried..I think this game will be won in the backend...unless those trenches don't give Mayfield no time to pass
