Well, I got back last night and therefore haven't had a chance to check the stats. Bottom line, the Ads were better than I really expected. I think the teams were pretty close to equal but, Mayfield shot themselves in the foot early. The Ads drive the initial drive right down our throats and scored. Mayfield had a chance to answer. They false started, had a hold and then dropped a wide open pass to end our first drive. They rallied back shortly after and took an 8-7 lead. According to the administrator of another site (a Beechwood fan who don't like Mayfield) we actually scored the two point conversion and should have been up 10-7. Then the Ads called a brilliant play and caught us over pursuing, on a reverse, and there wasn't any catching 7 in the open field, which was good for 7. Then stalemate ensued for a bit. The Ads drive the ball back down the field and threw a pass to our db in the endzone, which gave the Ads 7 points. It is what it is, we benefitted from a bad call in 2015 for 7 and the Ads did here. I really don't think the Cards ever recovered. We had a really good drive to about their 10 and apparently the wr fumbled and the Ads recovered. It would have cut that lead to manageable. We managed to make it 35-21 at the end. But, you could make the argument that it should have been a 5 point game. I agree with some saying we didn't look like ourselves out there. I haven't seen that many dropped passes and penalties in a game all year. But, they are young. Most of the skill spots are juniors, seniors or freshmen.
