I respectfully disagree having seen both Mercer and Beechwood play. Beechwood > Mercer. And that's a fact jack.

Beechwood had played one quality opponent prior to Franklin and were crushed by Dixie Heights.

Beechwood is a very good 1A team, probably the #2 or #3 team in that class, but they are not on Mayfield's level and any of the teams mentioned above should have defeated the Tigers if they played. A good 3A, 4A, 5A, or 6A team should not ever beat a good 1A team by a single point with the exception of Mayfield (the most dominant 1A team) and that's a fact jack.
