The best team in Kentucky is about to take the field...The 2nd best team finished up as 5A state champ. The 3rd best team beat you guys. The 4th best team won 3A. And the 5th best team won 1A. Mayfield, Corbin, St X, Franklin Simpson, and maybe even Etown and Louisville Central can fight it out for 6th best team. Not too shabby even as 6th best.

The statement seems to say that Mayfield lost because of mistakes they made. I saw a game where the better team, Danville, made way more mistakes than they usually do. I saw their QB injured for an entire series in which Danville had been rolling like a freight train gaining steam, until the QB went down. That derailed the onslaught for a moment and allowed Mayfield to get back in the game a bit. I did think the one TD was either an INT for Mayfield, or incomplete. But Danville made several false starts (as did Mayfield), and Danville missed some blocks they normally get. Is that due to Mayfield's defensive line and backers...probably. As was most of the mistakes Mayfield made due to Danville's defense. I still say Danville played a little worse than they had been, as compared to Mayfield.

In the end, my eyes age and experience in this game see Danville as at LEAST a 2 TD better team than Mayfiield, probably 3 TDs, each and every time they would play. I think Danville is just what they were against Boyle, BARELY better, I mean that field goal that won it for Danville, that is highly indicative of how those 2 teams are. Maybe one would beat the other on a given day. Danville would beat Beechwood, and Raceland. The only teams I see that Boyle and Danville wouldn't win against, is 5A champ, and then the 2 teams playing for 6A. 2A and 3A were incredible this year. 3A being the deepest class in football, IMO.

While you make alot of valid points. The better team won that day. But adjustments could be made and who knows on another day. I think Mayfield could play a lot better and maybe Danville could too. But reality is you get one chance and Danville did a good job and Mayfield has good players for the future so more State Title opportunities await.
