[MayfieldCardinal]

hazard's achilles heel or hill in this case is speed and replacing the qb. They were slow at most positions compared to the top couple of teams on the otherside of the 1A bracket. Those teams it appeas will be quick again. I was very unimpressed with the Hazard line last year that featured size but very slow and frankly their weight hurt them. They were so big they just couldnt move against a quicker athletic line. The impressive thing last year was that qb and he is the one who made them go and you don't just replace a kid of that caliber often if ever. They do return some top notch recievers who again are not the fastest but were physical and just pure athlets. My guess is that the Bulldogs will be fine if they find a qb who can get the ball to those recievers. I also think they return a pretty solid back. I think they would be one of the favorites to go to state again but I think Mayfield and Beechwood are going to be the favorites on the other side and overall. Bwood returns alot and Mayfield some but has better young talent than they normally have and alot of it so they may take early lumps but should be ready by the playoffs. My pick at this point to win it all is Bwood defeating Hazard for the title though I hope it is a Mayfield vs Hazard rematch. Good luck to Hazard
