[CS17]

the difference between the players that come through Mayfield, and other schools... is that Mayfield expects not only to make it to the title game, but expects to dominate every team all the way to the last second of the last game. The mental part 55 talks about is a real thing. I can remember going into every single game (60 of them) expecting to put a running clock on the team, as long as we played to our potential. As a defensive player who never saw the field during an offensive possession... I rarely payed much attention to the O, because I had the mentality that Jake and company were going to score on every possession.... the mindset going into the game is just as important as the practices during the week. Hell, coach Joe could have said that there was a change in the schedule and we had to play Trinity, and I'm sure that all of us would have been foaming at the mouth to get a shot at the big dogs.
