And that is correct.......for last week's game!

What a complete joke. In my opinion, this record means nothing under those circumstances.

Unless Murray makes some kind of miracle turn-around, I can't imagine that this will be a contest. I guess if the Cards play horrible and give up a bunch of turnovers, Murray could keep it within 3 td's. Otherwise, I say Mayfield wins by 5 td's.

Wow, I can't imagine all three combining. Are there any consolidated schools right now that are made up of two separate counties? To me, it makes sense to consolidate the Fulton schools. I know some parents and teachers wouldn't like it, but financially it might be better.

I am surprised that the Fulton schools haven't consolidated already. In my opinion, it only makes sense for them to do so. Both schools produce some very talented athletes and consolidating "could" make for some very good football and b-ball teams. I used quotations on "could" because that area has had issues with getting all of those athletes to play and fully commit to the programs. The overall support also is lacking in my opinion. The potential is high and when they do get a group of kids to stick with it, they can play with anyone. If they ever consolidate and get some stability in the football and b-ball programs, I think they will be very, very tough and extremely exciting to watch . Just my two cents.

Well, I hate to admit, but Mayfield got it handed to them tonight. The cards looked pretty bad on their own and Graves made them look even worse. Mayfield's defense was bad, very bad and ill-prepared. Mayfield just struggled all night.

Too many turnovers and pitiful defense by Mayfield. The defensive secondary looke like lost puppies out there. They deserved to get beat by a bunch tonight.

Hearing the terms Graves Co. and "smash mouth football" in the same sentence cracks me up. Graves has improved and is heading in the right direction, but don't get all crazy just yet. This game should be good with the injury riddled 1A Cards winning a close one over the big 4A/6A Buzzards. Remember, this is like a state championship game for Graves so they will be pumped.

I can't believe you mentioned steroids. To throw out steroid accusations without any proof or understanding of them is irresponsible. Although research has shown that steroids "CAN" have some deleterious effects on the immune system, it is in people who use high doses of steroids over many years. You should look for realistic and probable causes for such problems before ever mentioning steroids. There has been an increase in staph infections everywhere and in all age groups. Many of them are antibiotic-resistant as well. I believe it is a result of new strains of Staph that can cause infections even in those with normal immune function. Add the heat and dehydration on top of that and you have a perfect situation for new strains of Staph to thrive.

Was that Murell; if so, he has some great pedigree. If I'm not mistaken, his uncle is William "Yance" Murell and his dad is Danny Kirby.

Good post; I was about to post the same thing about Mayfield. The economic downfall in the past 4-5 years has really impacted the city school's enrollment. Very few young families are staying in Mayfield anymore and hardly any are moving into Mayfield. If it weren't for the influx of Mexicans, there is no telling what the city enrollment would be down to. Actually some would say that the influx of Mexicans has caused the city schools to diminish in numbers because many people send their kids to Graves or other schools because of them. So maybe that cancels each other out. Anyway, I don't see Mayfield's program getting stronger until the city itself has a turn around and more kids are attending Mayfield. I am not sure they can hold the dynasty if it keeps getting worse. Their best bet is to stay 1A (unless we can turn the Mexicans into "football" players instead of "futbol" players). As for Beechwood, they would have a much better chance in 2A.

Wow, the 1st seven games are at War Memorial Stadium for the Cards.

Yeah Mayfield has been so inconsistent and out of it the past few years. Give me a break.

I agree 100%. Have you noticed that the biggest arguement "for" Allen is that he is a great kid. There are a ton of great kids who were good high school players, but they didn't win any awards let alone the Mr. Basketball award. If he was our best, we are down; way, way, way down.

From everything that I have read and seen I would say 1. King Kelly Coleman 2. Darrell Griffith
