Mayfield celebrated Senior Night by scoring 23 points in the first quarter and cruising past Christian County 44-0 Friday night in the final regular season football game of the season.
Reggie Dowell scored two touchdowns and quarterback Gray Robbins tossed a pair of scores to lead the Cardinals, who improved to 7-2.
Mayfield also scored on a pick-six by Carter Morris in the first half.
Christian County played four quarterbacks in the game and struggled offensively. For the night, the Colonels completed 8 of 26 passes with four interceptions. They managed only 123 total yards of offense.
Tristan Dillard led the Colonels’ rushing attack with 57 yards on 19 carries.

Christian County used the “Wildcat” offense on its first drive with Zion Wharton directing the offense. The Colonels moved the ball to the 35-yard line before penalties backed them up and they eventually turned the ball over on downs.
In the second half, Christian County had a 14-play drive that reached the Cardinals’ 13 before a sack on fourth down-and-goal ended the drive.
Mayfield had only 166 total yards of offense, but had a short field on most of its drives, and had only three possessions in the second half due to the running clock.
Christian County ends the regular season with a 1-9 record and will travel to play Central Hardin next Friday in the first round of the Class 6-A playoffs. Mayfield will play host to Todd County Central in the first round of the Class 2-A playoffs next Friday.
