Finally some more good stats to share with you. I have already pointed out how much large of a margin there is between the schedule that Mayfield has played and Williamsburg has played. If you didn't see that I think it is on like page 1 or 2 of this thread. The schedules would be like comparing a high school team to a middle school team. Anyway, a team playing a much tougher schedule, if they were close to the same, should have much lower stats than a team playing a much weaker schedule. So here is what I have came up with.

Top running backs in 1a:
MHS has Stuart Mills at #7 with 1243 yards, which is an avg of 96 per game.
WHS is still looking for one.

Top qb's in 1a:
Dalton Sizemore #2 has gone 146-253 with 6 int and 2556 yards. His avg is 255 per game
and he has 28 td's.
Jake Guhy is #4 has gone 139-221with 6 int and 2023 yards. His ab=vg is 156 per game and he has 27 td's.

Top receivers:
MHS has #2 Deon Jackson. He has caught 37-871 and 11td's and Lane Kennemore #11. He has caught 29-478 and 8 td's.

WHS has #6 Skyler Griffith. He has caught 44-848 and 11 td's.

Team Scoring Leaders
#2 MHS with 559 points which is an avg of 43 ppg.
#3 WHS with 491 points which is an avg of 40.9 ppg.

Scoring Defense Leaders
#2 WHS with 12.3 ppg.
#5 MHS with 17.4 ppg

There you go. There is some more facts for you. I'm sure the Wburg faithful will put a spin on this to say they have better stats or their schedule was tougher, but here you go.

You try and put a spin on them for your team, so what is the difference?

Let me put the spin on it for you 64. First off the stats don't mean shit when they step on the field. Just for fun lets put your stats to the test. Mayfield has been in 6 games that I am sure the starters was in till the end. More opportunities mean more numbers for those stats of yours, correct? Williamsburg starters have probably only played in 3 complete games, meaning less opportunities for those stats, correct? By this reasoning Mayfields stats should be a lot higher than Williamsburg, but they are not.

Plain and simple fact is when you reach the championship game you can throw all these stats out the window. One team is the best in the state the other is the second best. When they step on the field I don't think anyone will have any type of ratings or stats, that you have graciously provided, any where in the playbook. The team that scores the most points will be the winner. Not necessarily the team with the best stats coming into the game. It is all about match ups.

Carry on folks.

P.S. hope this gets me out of the dog house with you 64, since I picked against the Jackets last week. I've had my crow and I am full. Now go serve 55.
