This was a great game. Both teams deserved to be here. Let me tell one of the most memorable moments to me. Several weeks ago, our mascot and Mayfield flag waver, was tragically murdered. His name is Ely. The team has been playing for Ely every since. After the missed PAT by Williamsburg in overtime, I heard the guy next to me say "I think we got some help from Eli on that one." Kinda brought a lump to my throat.

I had heard that story prior to today, but I never connected it to Mayfield's mascot until I heard several people in the press box talking about it. That is a terrible story. They mentioned he was an honor student and very well-liked. I hope it is a death penalty case.
