Don't count Hazard or Frankfort out just yet? Do not count your district foe neither.
Hazard has had key injuries each season except for last year. But don't count them out just yet because they are riding a 22 game win streak at home during the playoffs and are right now 23-1 under Coach Dixon at home. Hazard will be a hard out at home..

Frankfort is getting healthy and will be a hard out as well.i am sure those kids will play much harder against Beechwood than against there county rival. But let's be honest Beechwoods best wins are against Franklin County and Cov Cath who are nothing to what they were last year..

Mayfields best win is over Caldwell and there just a few points away from being undefeated.

Pikeville actually has a pretty good résumé as bad as I hate to say it. They are a good team can beat anybody on any given night.

The east is much improved from last year and I think who ever comes out of the east will keep it competitive..

I think you're underestimating Beechwood by a lot. Franklin, Covington Catholic, and NCC were all good wins. However, the significance of the Covington Catholic game is what you're not seeing, and it speaks highly of how much they've improved and shows their on a different level than they were early on. Dixie Heights beat them in the second week of the season. Dixie is no slouch team and their only loss this year has been an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Covington Catholic 41-7. Then four weeks after Dixie beats Beechwood, beechwood puts up a 28-13 win over Covington Catholic. That is a pretty significant turnaround and anyone that isn't adding Beechwood into the discussion for a state title is crazy. I would hate to be the team having to play them. I think Beechwood and Mayfield, if it happens, could end up being a classic game.
