Mayfield already won state as far as I'm concerned Friday against Beechwood. No offense to Hazard but this game is just part of bad bracketing by the KHSAA. Cardinals 35-7, that's if Hazard is better this year, if not the clock runs wild in the second half!

Same thing could have been said in 2009. The Lexington Christian/Hazard came down to the wire, then Mayfield was blownout in the finals. So was the finals decided on the East that year? Was that bad bracketing as well? You can't change the brackets every year to suit the teams. In 2008 Beechwood beat Hazard 14-7. A pretty close game by anyones standards. There will be swings in talent, especially at the 1A level. Yes Mayfield is rolling right now, but someone else will knock them off the top of the West eventually. Just the nature of the game.
