Considering this is a rebuilding year there is nothing wrong with the schedule...

I think this is a tough early schedule.....But i also think williamsburg will surprise teams this year with DEFENSE. The real rebuilding year will be 2016....:popcorn: I look for williamsburg to be more of a running team than a passing team this year. :worthy:

[Scotty_Bronson]

I think Williamsburg and Raceland are very similar, in regaurds to losing WR and QBs. No matter who fills the gaps, both teams defenses will keep them in games.

[bac2369]

I think Williamsburgs schedule will be tough on them except for a few games. I myself like a tough schedule to prepare for playoffs. But that schedule is head and shoulders better than last year.

I myself thought last year season was tough 5A Knoxville Hall,5A South Laurel, 3A Pike County Central, 3A Wayne County,2A Newport, 4A Harrison County and 1A Campbellville.....Now this year Williamsburg replace them with 2A LCA, 2A Leslie County 2A Somerset 1A Painstville 1A ludlow and 5A South Laurel and everybody think this is a tough schedule.....Go Figure I guess bigger isn't better sometime. nicker: Is it better to beat bigger school or smaller school......I don't know anymore. :popcorn:

[Sportsfanatic2015]

Look for the burg to have a good year but the 2A Schools of LCA, Leslie and Somerset will be tough enough.

[mysonis55]

Or could it be that I am exactly right? Last year the burg had 1 close game in regular season. We had several tests. So when we got to the carpet in that situation we had been there before and knew how to react. The burg had a lot of pressure on them and it resulted in several missed opportunities. That is the difference in a nutshell.

So you're saying the burg was more talented than mayfield, but mayfield benefited from the burgs missed opportunities?

[goBIGblue82]

At least you finally admit that Williamsburg was better and mayfield just got lucky...

[mysonis55]

They had a great deal of talent and size. They just need to refine some things with the schedule and experience. Them 2 things should be getting close to rectifying themselves. The problem is, they lost that talent and that was a lot of talent.

Most of the teams on this schedule were over .500 last year record wise except possibly Somerset and South Laurel. Somerset will be very good this year with Doan back to start the season and a year under a young teams belt will pay off. This 0-10 team was a few points away from winning the district. I expect them to win it this year. I hope I am free to see them play twice because I may try to watch the Beechwood game when Somerset plays them..

The Burg had pressure on you and had you looking like a little scared pup.

I read that response the exact same way you did. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Looks like he just credited Williamsburg as the better team last year. Nice to see a compliment for another team besides Mayfield from that dude.

[Wildcat18]

Refine some things? They went from a 42-0 blowout in 2013 to a 1-pt loss in 2014. Looks like they did something right in that 1 year gap. Did they refine that much or did Mayfield just slack that much?

[mysonis55]

It's a combination of things. First, the burg did refine their schedule some. Second, they were a year older, stronger and faster. Third, we were in the biggest reloading (rebuilding) year that we have had since 2008. Then, they were a year hungry to redeem themselves. Last, I have said it many times, we had several boys that were slighting them. They didn't wake up til they got smacked in the mouth. Credit to the burg for taking it to them. That will forever be one of the great championship games in Mayfield history. It will rank right up there with Prestonburg of 93, Beechwood of 95 or Beechwood of 02. I think you are misunderstanding my comments for something other than what they are.

Ill answer with a question. Would you expect it to be a tight game if they played this year. Williamsburg loses a lot, and Mayfield returns a lot. Same thing last year except the shoe is on the other foot. Mayfield lost alot prior to last season, and the burg returned alot plus added massey. Id say Williamsburg improved greatly, but Mayfield took a slight step back. Mayfield also took a slight step back from 2012 to 2013 when JJ left. Good news is I think Mayfield takes a step forward the next couple years.

Glad to see a Mayfield fella with a legit response. That obviously makes sense. The schedule issue that 55 brought up does not. Mayfield plays a stacked schedule, Williamsburg does not. We still end up with a 1-point difference in the end. I'm a fan of scheduling tough, some folks are not. I'm not knocking them for it. Maybe they want to try to keep their horses healthy for the playoffs? That's my point. No sense in dogging teams you've beat. Show some humility.

Williamsburg isnt playing south laurel this yr

heard williamsburg is looking for another game

This is where I agree with 55, and you cuss me out. Its actually giving credit to the burg when you think about how close the game was, even though most see it as knocking another team. Do you think williamsburgs kicker got alittle rattled late in the game? I do, and I think most of us would, but I believe a few tightly contested games where every point matters would have benefited the kid. There are no nerves kicking an extra point or field goal up 50 in the 4th quarter. That is where I think Mayfields schedule benefited them. They weren't the most talented last year, but they learned something very valuable from those games, and that is confidence that we will find a way to win.

Cuss you out? With all due respect, I'm not the one attacking folks by calling them d--ks. Your boy 55 did that. Kind of surprised he hasn't had any penalties by BGR for that one to be honest. I agree with everything you have said. You're right about the schedule. I said previously that everyone has their own philosophies and opinions. If 55 had went into the detail you just did instead of dropping the "even more watered down this year" comment...made it look like a cheap shot. From what I've seen on here previously by him, I still believe it was. At this point, who cares? I've said my piece. Mayfield's a great team. Never opposed that. Like I said before, show some humility to your opponents. Makes a great football program in western Kentucky look cheap when you don't. I guess we all have that 1 fan.

[Scotty_Bronson]

I dont think 55 does anything to truly hurt or cut neone down. I get the irritation with some of the comments, but id say 90% of it is bc he knows what a rise he gets out of all of us lol. One thing is certain, he keeps Wburg threads from going silent for too long lol.

[HCS]

I remember some fans from other teams last summer questioning whether adding Massey would have any impact.

The kicker got a concussion the week before the state championships in the Raceland game. But was cleared to play the day before Williamsburg lost as a team Killbilly USA. :popcorn:

[Scotty_Bronson]

I think that play rattled the kicker in the championship, if it did i wouldnt blame him one bit. He took a vicious shot. I would say that coupled with the "biggest football moment of his life" was alot to deal with. But a missed block, dropped pass, fumble, sack, not converting 3rd downs, turnovers in general, wouldnt be his fault. Football is one of the only true team sports. Its hard to ever really put the blame on one player for a loss or give one player all credit for a win.

Good post I agree.

[mysonis55]

Killbilly, thank you for explaining what I have been trying to do for 2 years. A lot of talk between me and 64 does get people from both fan bases riled. I did mean exactly what you posted. The tougher scheduling and even losing some games builds the character and decision making that allows you to win when it counts.

Scotty, you are exactly right. The kid had the most pressure any 16-18 year old boy could have on him at that moment. However, if they convert just one of those stalled drives inside the 10, it don't matter.

[Scotty_Bronson]

Its tough sotuation for a 10 year pro kicker. I commend the kid for staying tough and i know it will haunt him, sadly. Back to the thread topic. Who do u jacket fans see having break out years this season?

[OldJacket]

Just a comment on the missed extra point, maybe if it was a high school goal post instead of college which is narrower, just maybe the kick is good...I don't ever blame kickers for losses, Scotty made a good point already....

I hope Qb Alex Patterson get his shot at qb I think he was the fastest player on the team last year or Alec poore if Williamsburg want to be a passing team. I like To see Aaron Huskey and Eli Silcox at RB.....Just my opinion....WR Darrell white and I have know other ideal on a receiver. Defense Hunter Browning, Austin Huskey,Stone Hughlett,Dalton Shackleford,Hagan Hawm and a hosts of young jackets......If these guys are playing and injury free during district and regional.....Williamsburg could very well be hosting another semi-final game who goes to bowling green....I still believe in this Williamsburg team. Someone help me spending most of my time in Corbin this year. I hope to see the LCA and Leslie County game against Williamsburg. eriously:

[mysonis55]

64 and I already had that discussion. People were down on the kicker. They just don't relize the pressure the kid was under. Not only the pressure but the goal posts were 5 yds more narrow than he usually kicks thru. The one field goal wasn't a chip shot either. It was 35 yds. On the extra point, I wasn't on the field to see how much he missed by. My son was though and he said on high school posts it would have been good.
