Ok truth...

As a Somerset fan I figured one of two outcomes were possible. Mayfield by 17 or Somerset by 3. Here’s why I felt as much.

First, the Mayfield passing game is outstanding. Stinson is a gamer and his receivers are just smart well coached route runners. I hate Neeley was hurt but I don’t think he was the difference. The difference was the supporting cast. Maybe they are better with him but SHS is also better with Miller. Next man up is correct.

Second, Mayfield doesn’t win 12 by accident. That’s what elite teams that are well coached teams do. They win at a high level. Mayfield is to be respected. They’ve earned it.

That said this Somerset team is just different. Balanced, big, strong, physical and with enough speed and finesse to beat teams. Every game I watched I kept thinking to myself they have a real chance if they can get past LCA and play to their strengths against Mayfield.

This is the first title for SHS in over 100 years of football. When we went up 10 in the 4th I figured it was over. Mayfield showed grit and took a lead.

That last play however is one for the ages.

I was texting updates to a friend of mine; actually my daughter who had to work. I told her Mayfield (first time I've seen them play this year) was soooo football smart, quick AND fast and played like a well oiled machine.
On the other hand, Somerset was big, strong and powerful with a whole lot of speed as well. The live feed did a close up on their center with shoulder length hair. He scared me a little. Seriously, he was so danged intense looking!!
My live feed buffered at the end of the game, so I didn't see the winning score. I'm still burning a little about that one!!

A couple of notes: The win today was win number 100 for Robbie Lucas at Somerset. What a way to get it.

Tate Madden, who caught the game winner, is normally just a defensive back. He had the game clinching interception against LCA but had only caught 2 passes on offense all season until that last drive. Then he caught the last 2 of the year.

What great memories he has made for himself!!!

These 2 teams gave it 110% on that field today. Someone has to win and someone has to lose. In a game like this, you feel bad for the one that comes up short. I felt both teams played with class and both fan bases should be proud. This was a heavyweight championship for the ages, going blow for blow, getting put on the mat and getting back up and coming up clutch time and time again, from both sides and not giving in.

You know, I said the same thing. As much blood sweat and tears that both of these teams gave over the year, it's a shame that one had to lose!! But that's just the game.
I am SO proud of Somerset, and yes!, I consider them a mountain team!
