[Maroon State Champs]

There is great excitement in the air in Somerset, Kentucky. The Pulaski county maroons led by Coach John Hines look to go the state title game three years in a row they return a loaded team they look to defend there 5A state title. they have a very tough schedule as usual which should prepare them for a strong run at back to back to back state appearances. HH will be tough and so will sw and others I think they have what it takes to win back to back titles if they can stay healthy.

Highlands or Bowling Green wins 5a this year.

I'm surprised you didn't say Mayfield. I'm serious.

[Gitback Coach]

If Mayfield were 5A, you'd have to consider them a top contender.

Even as a 1A team I 2014, they spanked Graves County pretty badly. This six-class system seems to create some very "user-friendly" classes/semi-states with each new realignment, and for the past few years, 5A has been pretty cushy.

With the new realignment, 4A seems to be the most wide-open class.

Pay no mind gitback. Wildcat is being a d--k. He has some personal problem with me. That was the only reason he posted on here at all.

Graves County ain't Highlands.

[FBfan4life]

That class belongs to the top 3 programs.
1. FT Highlands
2. Covington Cath
3. Pulaski Co.
4. The Rest of the field

You only get 1 chance at a first impression. You didn't project a good one a couple of years ago. Just not a fan of cocky folks. I'm a nice dude, I just don't care about reading anything about Mayfield on topics that have nothing to do with Mayfield. Do you know anything about the sport outside of Mayfield? That's a serious question.

Mayfield is a very good team. Could they compete in 5A? Yes, they'd probably be top 10 because it's a top-heavy class. Would they win 5A? No way. The top 4-5 teams would be too much. How do we know? We don't know because Mayfield doesn't play them. You're hanging your hat on the Graves win. Heck, they're probably top 2 in 4A outside of JC. LOL.

Pay no mind Wildcat. Mysonis55 is just insecure and doesn't know how to have an educated sports discussion without lashing out. Trolling was the only reason he posted on here at all.

[mysonis55]

First off, where did I post anything about Mayfield here? Second, I would say last season we would have had just as good a shot at winning 5a as any. Lastly, when you come onto other threads and post, are you a troll as well?

You only posted here to get a rise out of the Pulaski folks. I only posted to get a rise out of you. Obviously, you can dish it, but you can't take it. I don't see Pulaski, Southwestern, Bowling Green, Highlands, or CovCath on your schedule. Graves is not in that category.

[mysonis55]

Wrong answer. I posted my opinion, which I feel is accurate. Second, how can you say they are not in the same category. They lost the state championship by one touchdown? Does that mean that Beechwood or Williamsburg were not in Mayfield's category? Just wondering the eastern philosophy there.

[Wildcat18]

Let's be honest, Graves pulled a couple of upsets that no one really expected them to grab. They did with Crider what Madison Southern wanted to do with Damien Harris and that was to make a deep run based around their star player. I look at Graves similar to how you look at Williamsburg. I feel there are more superior teams in the class. Pulaski would have beaten them by 3 or 4 scores had it not been a monsoon that day at WKU. Like I said, I see no real powerhouses on Mayfield's schedule. Hard to really tell where they would stack up in higher classes in my opinion. It's easy to play a 2nd tier team in each class (referring to Graves in 5A & McCracken in 6A) and think you can compete with the elite in each class. The Bowling Green's, Highlands', Pulaski's are all on another level than Graves. Just like the Trinity's, St. X's, Scott County's are all on another level than McCracken.

As far as Mayfield, it's obvious they owned 1A. I expect them to own 2A. However, they would have a lot of trouble in 3A. It's ok to agree to disagree.

I cant wait to hear the responses to this question. Seems out east everyone thinks the burg is better than Mayfield, but we should throw out graves giving Pulaski a game like it was a fluke Pulaski only won by a touchdown. Pulaski was the best team in 5a to eastern fans because they won the title even though it was a close game, but Mayfield winning a title isn't good enough to convince them because they didn't win convincing enough. I may make everyone mad, but I still say graves would lose to bowling green at least 8 out of 10 times if not 9. Since the east fans can say williuamsburg was best 1a team without winning the title ill say bowling green was best 5a team.

Ill give you the top 6a teams being on another level than McCracken. I also agree highlands, and bowling green are on another level compared to graves, but Pulaski on another level to graves no way.

Mysonis55 said Williamsburg was the best team...

[killbilly usmc]

If you think that im just trying to argue just ask 55 what an ole boy born, and raised in Marshall County thinks about Graves County. He aint from marshall, but he knows what our disdain is for graves. I cant believe someone sais something that is so pathetic im actually defending Graves County. Pulaski County never heard of them till last year now they are in the same breath as Highlands.

No harm in that opinion. I DO agree with you about Graves. No way they win half the games against Bowling Green. That proves my point. I would loved to have seen the Pulaski/BG rematch in the title game. Hall didn't play in the regular season and I'd say PC would have beat BG the 2nd time when it mattered with him. Lucky for them I guess, Graves pulled the upset.

[killbilly usmc]

Mysonis55 said Williamsburg was the best team...

If so Id rather be lucky than good any day.

[Wildcat18]

The ONLY one on this message board that insinuated Williamsburg was better than Mayfield was mysonis55 on another thread. I sure don't think that. I've said Mayfield owned 1A and should own 2A as well. I have logical thinking when it comes to football. I don't play this east vs. west crap. I look at good vs. not as good. LOL.

Everyone thinks their opinion is accurate, problem is they are only opinions. I can say that I don't think Graves is on the same level as Highlands, CovCath, Pulaski, etc.. because that is my opinion and I believe it to be accurate.

It was lucky for Pulaski that graves upset BG. Williamsburg wasn't even 2nd best id take beechwood over them any day of the week and 3 times on Friday nights.

I knew Williamsburg was better than the year before, but I didn't expect it to be as close as it was...

I don't see Mayfield picking up the phone to play Pulaski, BG, or Highlands anytime soon. I guess you're satisfied with Graves. That's fine. I would be too if I were you.

No one thought Collins or Owensboro should have had a chance with the mighty Highlands either...Highlands is an elite program year in year out(just like Mayfield), and while other programs rely on talented groups to couple in ever so often doesn't mean they should be discredited. There will be teams that can compete with the elite, and deserve to be given credit when credit is due.

[goBIGblue82]

Does that put Mayfield 3rd or 4th? If Beechwood is 2nd best who was the best?

[killbilly usmc]

I knew I could get some responses. As far as Mayfield scheduling Highlands, or Bowling Green should any 2a team be expected to compete with them most years. A team should schedule competitive games, that I call 50/50 games that you can win, or that you can lose. Doesn't make sense either way to schedule many games where there is a very heavy favorite. You cant put Pulaski in that group, and by the way the phone rings both ways, and Pulaski hasn't rang mayfields phone either begging for a game.

You haven't read much then numerous people keep saying Williamsburg was better than Mayfield, I have never seen 55 say Williamsburg was better.

I expected a pity story David vs. Goliath response. It's common among discussions with fans of lower classes. Not my first rodeo in that department. You all bark a lot, but will never run with the big dogs. It's not Pulaski's obligation to reach out to a 2A school. Not much to gain and everything to lose honestly. I'm sure if Mayfield called, PC would listen...assuming the schedule was flexible. Highly doubt PC would "beg" any 2A school. Somerset learned that lesson most recently and they're just a mile up the road. Pulaski has a ring now and are in position to make some moves to get more in the future. They're in the category. Historically, I'd put Highlands and BG on top of course, but right now, PC is definitely in the discussion.
