Kevin Weaks on Graves County’s second efforts, title bout between Mayfield Cardinals and Crittenden Rockets.
Mayfield Messenger sports editor Kevin Weaks makes his weekly visit to the Froggyland Sports Network, and this week Kevin opens by talking about Graves County’s remarkable 34-point second-half that allowed the Eagles to rally to a 37-21 win over Apollo and give Lance Gregory’s team the #2 seed in 6A’s First District. He details the play of Evan Smith, who stepped in for the injured Zach Crawford in the Eagles backfield, and he talks about defensive lineman Hunter McGuire’s trip to the end zone on an interception return. Graves County hosts Daviess County this week as they wrap up district play, and Kevin tells us they’ll be favorites as they try to finish the regular season with a flourish and eventually get to 5-5. Kevin also takes us inside Mayfield’s district title bout with Crittenden County, as the Cardinals welcome the Rockets to War Memorial Stadium after re-charging during the bye week. He knows Mayfield hasn’t forgotten the Rockets regular season win at War Memorial in 2008, and he expects Class A’s #1 team to be fully motivated on Friday night.
