Great Pics Stardust! Very impressive.

I felt that during the entire game Fairview had that "Deer in the Headlights" look.

[Noble]

Fairview moved the ball at will in this game until a turnover or a penalty would kill drives. Defensively Fairview looked lost. I saw a linebacker go to fill and he stopped and watched Jackson run by him, the kid was scared to hit him. I must say Jackson was dang good. Real good. He could have won it by himself. Hard to take down. I don't think schedule had anything to do with this game, Fairview was just out matched in too many ways. Congrats to both teams and Big Congrats to Mayfield.

They did not move the ball at will. They had some good runs they would get a few first downs and the drives would stall. Mayfield had alot more big plays called back from penalties. Alot of the turnovers were forced by strips or hits. Truth is Fairview coulda scored a couple more times. Mayfield could have to. They had several drives that were just plain stopped. They could not stop Mayfield at all they stacked the box and still could not stop our run. Fairview made mistaked but we were up 14 to 0 before they had a penalty or a turnover. If a defense forces a turnover it good defensive play. This game was lopsided maybe not as bad as it looked maybe but they were completely overwhelmed by a better team.

[Noble]

Must have watched a different game. Fairview had 14 first downs and averaged 5.5 yards a rush. They had multiple turnovers, some was caused by the defense, some were just bad luck, some were caused by extra effort. Take away the turn overs and dumb penalties and they moved the ball at will. Mayfield is state champ! Congrats which I said in the last post but you must have missed it right behind the truth.

Well Doublegg, look at it this way. At least you won't have to eat nearly as much as 64 did. I think he is still eating his healthy portion of crow.

[mysonis55]

Well Noble, I think his point is just that Mayfield could and did stop Fairviews offense. Fairview on the other hand could not stop Mayfield's offense. Yes there were several turnovers. More than half of those turnovers were because of a good defensive play. There were some that were unforced. I saw many plays where Mayfield blew there O up in the backfield though. We only saw 2 or so that Fairview blew up in Mayfield's backfield. Yes we did have the speed advantage. As hard as it may be for you to admit, we had the 2 fastest players on the field in Jordan Brown and Deon Jackson. I saw them actually run away from your fastest. If you don't think strength of schedule had anything to do with this, you are missing the boat. It is part of the philosophy used to build our program and many others. Look at your power programs and you will see this is the the norm for them year in year out. It's kinda funny though, this is the same kind of comments we heard after winning in 2010. The truth is a better team forces the other team to make these types of mistakes. I hope Fairview learned something from this years success that they can build upon. I'm sure the seniors that led this charge would like to think they caused a change in the program for the better.

If you bust a 25 yard run on a drive then 1 yard 2 yards 3 yards. You averaged more than 5 yards a carry but it is still 4th. They forced fumbles 3 of those were on plays where Mayfield had the ball carrier contained in the backfield where the hit occurred. Mayfield has been a second half team all year we scored 4 third quarter touchdowns. After we came out at half and adjusted i wonder what the yards per carry were in the 3rd? You have to throw the 4th out cause all but 2 min in the 4th it was their starters vs 2nd and 3rd string from Mayfield. Most of their yardage were on big runs fowllowed by short gains. The reason we got an Int in the second was we forced them to throw by stopping that big Fullback cold. So bout midway through the second we started to stop the run much more effectively. I am estimating here but they had about half of their rushing totals in the first quarter. Most of that was on 3 or 4 big runs. After we adjusted we stopped their run fairly well had a bend dont break thing going made them play between the 20s. We gave up an onsides kick and a blocked punt we also had huge plays called back because of penalties. The biggest thing in this game were the points that were made all season. Poor strength of schedule had this team unprepared to know how to play from behind they did not know how to make adjustments because they havent had to. The inability to pass when you are down 3 scores in the first half killed them. The no kicking game killed them. Playing teams that just couldnt tackle or match them physcally killed them why would they be skilled at protecting the ball when they havent had to. If you can mix in a successful passing game 30 percent of the time and change the field with a decent kicking game. Fairview would have made a game of it Mayfield still wins but instead of 7 td it would have been 2 or 3.

Mmmm... sounds like fairview shoulda went WEST instead of EAST on there recruiting trail?
Running clock Wow!

Mmmmm, kinda sounds like similar end results of the Ashland/Highlands game, doesn't it NotsoBADCAT? WOW!!:blabbermo

I got some truth for you. I took out 4 big plays. Just 4 runs out of their 50 rushing attempts. Those 4 runs were 3 big runs by the fullback and the touchdown run they had all early in the game. That run the ball all over us the whole game eye popping 5.5 yards per carry plummets to 2.5 yards a carry. Sorry the turnovers be damned after the first quarter we played excellent d and stopped them cold and still didnt give up many rushing yards when they left their starters in vs our jv up until 2 min left. Numbers dont lie. As for those eye popping first downs 5 were in the first quarter and 4 were in the 4th when are starter were busy dumping the Gatorade on the coaches head. Hows That For Truth. So go recruit some guys who can pass and catch play some teams that will challenge you and if Raceland doesnt hand you your a$$ which they will next year come see us.

[mysonis55]

Now, if you guys remember, I said a while back this team reminds me of Murray running the wing t.:thanks: With the exception that I don't think their qb is as fast as Dylan Boone.:thanks: Now who wouldn't like to see that game played.:popcorn: I think that would be one of those good old time grind them out type football games.:welcome:

Boys, let's just admit the truth. Fairview got the crap beat out of them. They had a nice season beating, for the most part, weak teams but they can't compete with the top teams. There is no shame in that. But, it is still true.

[MVP2]

Congrats Mayfield.

Mayfield beat alot of teams in alot of classes as usual you are classless and have something negative to say. I believe fairview is 54 12 last five seasons beating raceland three straight years and beat defending champs by 34 they were deserving to be there but didn't play well against a great team congrats to mayfield take your negativity and go to the house should be celebration in Westwood

[blitz43]

I will give mayfield credit. They are very good. I didn't think they could stop the running game. Jackson was the most impressive player I saw.

Indeed so. russellpride. I may be, in your eyes, classless but I am obviously honest. You, on the other hand, are apparently clueless. You can conclude that Fairview didn't play well. Wonder why? I conclude that they were in over their heads.

There is no shame in being beaten badly by a better program. The shame is in making veiled excuses. Just admit that Fairview had a good season but must improve tremendously if they want to compete for a championship. Maybe they can extend the district boundaries a bit more. That is much better than "woulda, shoulda, coulda".

What are you talking about i dont think Truth is even a Mayfield fan. As for anything i said it was in response to someone saying Fairview ran at will on Mayfield and i pointed out that there were big runs that skewed the yards per carry numbers. This person claimed his opinion was the truth when the truth was after Mayfield adjusted after the first quarter they did not run at will. Fairview ran for 275 yards 160 was in the first quarter and 102 was on only 3 runs. Mayfield put the game out of reach in the second and 3rd quarter where they alloud Fairview only about 30 yards a quarter. I believe Fairview was a good team just one dimentional and had never played from behind all year due to strenghth of schedule.

[Truth]

Truth is neither a Mayfield fan nor a Fairview fan. My analysis is completely unbiased. My point is that Fairview has a long way to go to compete with the Mayfields of the world. Accepting the truth and building accordingly will be much more beneficial than spinning otherwise. I wish them well.

Actually, I was for Fairview in the game. However, I knew better than to have bet on them- even with the big point differential.

As for the suggested negativity of the Mayfield fans, I don't see it. When you make bold predictions and then go out and fulfill those predictions, it is not negativity. It is merely confidence and that confidence was appropriate. Good for them.

I think ya'll are reading it wrong. He is not talking about Mayfield fans. He said congrats to Mayfield and should have used a period but he didn't so it all ran together. Read it with periods and commas in the statement. LOL

Hmmm, a team gets beat 55-8 and a running clock and freshmen are playing and you say they moved the ball at will? At times they moved the ball but Fairview might have scored 24 points total and given up 75 are more. Fairview was completely out matched, even Ray Charles could see that.

Never seen a fan base be so sensitive. How did you all feel last year after losing to lowly Hazard? I am sure there were some excuses made, injuries, bad calls etc etc. Anyway. Fairview ran the ball well, they punted how many times in the game? 3 maybe 4? The rest were turnovers, a score and a couple of turnovers on downs in the red zone or close to it. Fairview was not ready for the big game. Was there schedule weak? Yes it was, however many of you said they were never make it because of that, yet they made it. First time at the dance and those boys were scared and nervous, you could see it by the way they played. After fairview cut the score to 14-8 (on a drive that was pretty impressive). They onside kicked, recovered and were driving again until a kid fumbled trying to get extra yards (those boys ran hard, gotta to give them credit). Mayfield scored again and it was over. Fariview is not built to play catch up and I was shocked by the defense not being ready for you all. Anyway I stand by previous post, fairview could move the ball untill they did something stupid. After that I congratulated Mayfield on being so good and a State champ. The Jackson kid is the real deal this year. Your team is a state champ, enjoy it, your self esteem seems to be connected to the success of Mayfield. Should be feeling good instead of so defensive because someone pointed out something that we may not agree on. Mayfield is really good though, could have probably gotten to the semis in TN.

BTW I said Fairview was out-matched in a previous post.....

Then dont questions someones honesty i have shown that your statement. That they ran at will wasnt true the play by play read things like run for neg yards forced fumble run for 0 yards forced fumble. You implied that Mayfields defense could not stop the Fairview run and questioned what game i was watching and questioned my jntegrity by stating that you version was true. I sat on the 5o yard line on the home side 7 or 8 rows up your impressive scoring drive was two big plays not a sustained drive.

Fairview's only td was a very long nice run by #44, then a nice run by #3.
Fairview on sides kicks the ball while a Mayfield player looks at it like it's a hot tomato while Fairview recovers on about the 35. FV then moves it to around the 15 and fumbles. These are hardly long drives. Fairview had moderate success moving the ball and could have scored a couple of times more than they did. However, Mayfield ran through them like a knife through hot butter and had a running clock with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd qter. You are exaggerating that Fairview moved the ball at will. You dont score 8 points and move the ball at will.

[Truth]

The bottom line is that, when you lose 55-8 with a running clock, you should realize that you were in over your head. Don't create "what ifs" or "almosts". Start thinking about what you need to do to become competitive. Otherwise, as Killer in the Sun stated, you may never be in line for any significant trophies. Learn from the experience.

Maybe, 1A I think we would win it, AA we would atleast have made considering that we wore out the TN runner up Milan. But who cares, we won the one I wanted to win
