They were ranked #4 at the time of the game with McCracken. Obviously the loss has hurt their rankings. The point is they were a very dominate team loaded with athletes. It was very similar to watching a T or X team. They lose a player and they plug another one just about as good in and continue doing what they want to do.

I understand, but there's just no reason to over exaggerate like you do. Whether its the strength of their schedule or how good one of the teams are, its just not necessary. Mayfield is a great team. They're the defending champs. If you look back at my posts I've been very supportive of them. What really got me was the comparison to St. X and Trinity. You actually decided to compare a team that is ranked in the top 10 nationally in every poll almost year in and year out to a team in Mississippi that was not even ranked in the top 10 of their class. Not that they were overall a top ten team, just in their class they weren't. It just blew my mind that you'd compare them to somebody that is ranked in the top 10 out of 14,000+ schools that field a football team around the country, just because somebody made a comment that their schedule was weak? Mayfield doesn't need to defend themselves because obviously for several years now they've been dominating in their class and created quite a dynasty actually. I love seeing good high school programs that are ran the correct way and Mayfield is definitely one of those schools. I think that is why I also like Pikeville. The coach they have has created a great environment and the players and community are buying into it. With so many terrible coaches that exist, I really enjoy seeing the good ones and I'll always support them no matter what name is on the Jersey.
