I know you are from as far west in the state of Kentucky and think you know all about football played eight hours east of you, but there is no way this Beechwood team beats this Pikeville team that bad. Pikeville played Belfry really freaking well, a game where Belfry did not fumble the ball a thousand times. Honestly, Pikeville probably could have won that game if they had not committed a few key turnovers early in the game. Pikeville has been one of the most over looked teams throughout the state all year, simply because they are a single A team but they dress well over fifty kids. They have athletes all across the board that really spreads you out and tests your speed at every position. They have a duel threat quarterback with a great arm and a very solid defense. This team in a lot of ways looks better than the team from three years ago that did win state. To go one step further, Beechwood struggled with a Newport Central Catholic team that Belfry put a running clock against in the first half, and I already said how the Pikeville/Belfry game went. I know that is the only comparison that can be made between the teams but that is a statement.

The Pikeville/Raceland game was only close because Pikeville thought they had Raceland beat at halftime. When they finally realized the game was not over, they stepped back on the peddle and off they went again. I am not saying Pikeville is going to run Beechwood off the field and back to Cincinnati, because I think these two teams are way too good for either to do that. Beechwood could very well win this game, but Pikeville certainly could too. This game, is just another in what I believe will be the best championship weekend this six class system has ever seen.

Ok, you win:

They have a 2A thread going for you to go pleasure yourself thinking about all of Mayfield's past glory. This is about right now, not what happened twenty and thirty years ago. Beechwood's fans probably just burst into laughter when you compared your six state titles over two decades in single A to their seven in nine years. Not to mention the three more they added on within that same time span.

I think it is great that you support your team, and through thick and thin you are Mayfield all the way. Coach Morris has done an amazing job turning Mayfield into the only program west of Bowling Green that matters. They have a say in the state championship no matter what class they are in, very few schools have that power. Honestly, I can only count twelve teams throughout the entire state, regardless of class, I would put on that list. With that said, I think it is also a bit arrogant the way you claim no one, season from season, could ever hang with them if they were still in single A because that is not true. Many years they lost single A, many years they had to fight hard to win it. I think it is awfully insecure of you to go out of your way to boast about Mayfield's past accomplishments on a thread that has nothing to do with your team. What is the point of it, to remind everyone how great Mayfield is so they give you proper respect? I thought respect was earned on the field, by the coaches and players? Those coaches and players have earned our respect too, for years of hard work.

You and one person from another school are the two worst on this site for making everyone want to see your school fail. I never want to see kids fails that put in the hard work, but I do not believe in participation trophies either because if you put the hard work in than you should celebrate what you earn. Every teenager who has ever put on a Mayfield jersey and held a trophy high about their head should be proud of everything they accomplished and more power to them for it. Please, for the sake of your program, stop being the parent who takes the attention away from the players and program and puts it on themselves. They have the right to boast about what they have accomplished, and as parents we have the right to be proud. We can all go to KHSAA website and see all the past records and know how many state titles each team has.

Simply a reply to the quote that Pville/Bwood defined 1a as stated above. Get your panties out of a wad.

[mysonis55]

Trust me, Bwood won’t burst into laughter about Mayfield on anything. They get to join us again next year.

[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I believe Mayfield has as much to do with the history of 1A as Beechwood, then other schools.

I mean no disrespect to Mayfield, Danville, NCC or anyone else. All those places resume speaks for itself. With that said, non of those schools even played in 1A until the Mid-90s at the earliest. Pikeville and Beechwoods first postseason meeting was in the State Semis of 1972 and they’ve met at least once every decade since then even up to this very day. There have been other schools that have won State Titles and been dominant. But, Pikeville/Beechwood has always been the common thread in 1A

I guess I kinda get your point there. But, I would say Mayfield had as much to say about 1a as either. They reached the title game 6 years in a row and probably would have more had they not had to switch to 2a.

[Patriot1]

That’s why the went to 2A so mysonis55 and Mayfield could get away from Beechwood when the use to own Mayfield. I am not saying your right or wrong about this game but you better worry about Cal. Just like you didn’t worry about Danville last year and they spank your butt and sent you home. Now Beechwood is a very good team and fundamentally strong and it’s going to take a great effort to beat them. Pikeville will have to play the best game they have ever played to win so I am realistic but we are there and are coming to play and as always GO PANTHERS!!!

You're stretching with the "great arm" comment. His arm is slightly below mediocre at best.

Good luck. I simply made a prediction. You guys got upset. No disrespect but, Beechwwod is that much better. Now as far as CAL goes, I don’t have to worry. I don’t play or coach. I do think we win though. As to getting whipped, if you call 2 touchdowns, one of which was very questionable at the least, well okay.

[Patriot1]

I am not upset I try not to get that way except during the day on Friday I am alittle on the edge. I did say you may be right but last year before the game with Danville you were bragging some and thats fine and you opinion on this game is fine but at least give your reason for it instead of just throwing out a big score like that. How many times have you seen these two teams play or is it just because they are Beechwood did you make that prediction. I don’t play or coach either but I still worry and you do to if you would tell the truth because I have read these threads for years and I know you are passionate about your team and should be. Mayfield has been a power house program for years and probably will be for more years. Yes I am for Pikeville win or lose and as always GO PANTHERS!!!

Playing the comparison game is a bad way to pick a winner of a game, but since you did, I'll play along.
Beechwood beat the brakes off of Somerset, up 28-0 with 8 mins left in the 2nd quarter. The following game, Somerset beat Hazard 24-10.
That same Hazard team was tied with Pikeville in the 4th quarter and was knocking on the door for a go ahead score.
You can throw scores from previous games out. These are two good, well coached teams, and it should be a good football game.
These two teams have a ton of history with each other, with many of their respective state titles having gone through each other on their way to titles.
Beechwood and Pikeville have been the pre season favorites to get to this game and here they sit, ready to do battle one more time before Beechwood moves on to 2A.
I for one, as a lifelong Tiger, find it very fitting that our last game in 1A is against Pikeville.

Danville took you to the wood shed and gave you a simple adjustment nicker:

[KYHSFBFan]

I'm a life long Mayfield fan and alum and support those kids through thick or thin, year in and year out and I'm as proud of there history of accomplishments as any, but, I agree, this isn't the thread to come on and boast. Unfortunately, some overzealous & arrogant Cardinal fans just can't help themselves from trying to get there team mentioned in every thread and many that doesn't belong.. I cringe when I see some of these, because it makes other fan bases hate you, pull against you, but, worst of all, gives a negative impression on the team, which is so off base, because those kids pour out there hearts and scratch and claw each and every week to represent the school, the community and the tradition in which they carry on when they put on that jersey.

As far as this game goes, I truly feel it's a toss up. I've been very impressed with both teams all year. I expect it to be a 4 quarter game and a 1 score game either way.

KYHSFBFan I in no way hold anything against anyone from Mayfield or any other school for what posters say on these threads and really not against them. Will never have a negative impression of Mayfield but nothing but respect for what they have accomplished over the years. In my book they are a top notch program. But when someone says that this or that team is going to get beat bad and have nothing to back it up with I will ask questions or say something. I am realistic and it’s going to be a challenge to beat Beechwood but yes I have faith in these young men at Pikeville believe they can win but I what I think don’t matter. So that being said I don’t think Cal can beat Mayfield. Good luck to you guys in 2A Championship game hope it’s injury free game but as always GO PANTHERS!!!

[jetpilot]

You would think Mayfield fans would have better things to do than hijack 1A threads. But you would be wrong. mysonis55 is twice as hard to get rid of as the clap...nicker:

[jetpilot]

BTW calpreps thinks this Pikeville team is better than the 2015 championship Pikeville team that steamrolled Beechwood the last time these teams met...

PROJECT A MATCHUP

[2018] Pikeville (KY) 34, [2015] Pikeville (KY) 27

[jetpilot]

No, he didn’t say East vs West. He said the history of 1A football. History of 1A football would be Mayfield &Beechwood, then the rest of 1A..... of course both are gone after Friday

You don't put a program that has 4 championships and 3 runner-ups with the rest of 1A. Pikeville is definitely in there.

[Hound05]

Have to agree with Orange Blaze and Westside on this one it’s going to take an all out effort for Pikeville to win this game. Have faith they can do it but it’s definitely going to take their best effort. So work hard this week because it is the last one of this year and enjoy every minute of it and lay it on the line. As always GO PANTHERS!!!

Nobody other than Corbin fans and few others gave us a chance last week. I think we all know how that turned out for them! Beechwood is a good team, but so is Pville. I don’t know a whole lot about Pville other than who they’ve played and how it turned out, but beechwood on the other hand... when we played them, they were a solid team. They had a good looking offensive and defensive line. They’ve also got a QB who can throw it and a RB/WR who is crazy fast and athletic. They play very fundamental. But if your line can buy your QB some time like ours did somewhat, you can pick them apart like we did. But you gotta have the time for the WRs to find the holes in coverage because their DBs can cover pretty good. But we were able to find space and if you all protect the QB you can too!

Beechwood 35

Look I’ll say this, and it’s just my opinion. But I don’t like predicting a score based on like opponents from previous games. Because if that’s the case then belfry who beat Pville but lost by about 20 to Boyle who lost to us by 21. And we only beat the beechies by 7. So following that ideology on things beechwood would beat Pville handily.

Now I don’t think that will happen. And I don’t want it to happen. I’m rooting for Pville. But that’s why I don’t like comparing teams like that. I do agree with most that the tigers are probably the favorite by a little, and they probably deserve to be. But to me it’s not by much and the panthers have a very good chance at the “upset”. I said earlier BW is very fundamental. They don’t turn it over much and they have a steady offense that can control it on long drives with the ability to bust a big one off on any play. So Pville has to play mistake free football and don’t give them more opportunities than what they already have. They have outstanding line play on both sides. And their D is very good but not impenetrable. They have the speed to stay with WRs but if you can buy enough time to let the coverage collapse you got a chance. But it’s easier said than done, they’ve got a pretty decent pass rush. And that number 25 I think it is is a BALL PLAYER! But the panthers have a potent offense as well I think it’ll be a good game. I wanna say Pville by 6. But if they turn it over and let the beechwood offense stay on the field I can see them winning by 14+. Good luck.

[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

You're stretching with the "great arm" comment. His arm is slightly below mediocre at best.

"Slightly BELOW mediocre at best"? No, for a high school QB, his arm is average to above average, leaning more towards above average. Now, if you're comparing him to Tim Couch and people of that level as the baseline, you have a skewed view of high school QB arm talent. Connor Roberts arm, and more importantly, his touch/accuracy, are much more than mediocre. He's actually very good on the deep ball when he has needed to throw it. The offense leans more on him for the throws to the middle ranges, and in space to allow playmakers to make plays.

I like our QB, and wouldn't trade him for anyone.

[Coach Roberts]

You're stretching with the "great arm" comment. His arm is slightly below mediocre at best.

Welcome to Rivals Hog! According to: the 7on7’s earlier this season, the coaches from the colleges whom have offered him and those that are getting ready to make offers, his stats with limited playing time (6 games he only played 2 quarters, 2 games only played 1 quarter - so in 8 of his games only played a total of 14 quarters), running a spread offense, and playing in the state championship your post about my son says a lot more about you than it does him.

Me neither. I don't think anyone would. Not a word used to describe a football player very often but he has been fantastic, both running and throwing.

The last great arm I saw in these parts wore #2 for the Big Blue and was drafted #1. People with limited football knowledge think being able to throw the ball like a bullet and 70 yards down the field are the lone indicators for a “great arm.” Just in the NFL, I think Montana, manning and a few others would disagree with most people’s meanings of great arms. Besides, I’d rather be a great QB than a “great arm,” I know lineman with great arms!
