Please understand I hope Mayfield is 20 pts better than everyone. But in 2017 and 18 Mayfield had bigger, faster and better defensive lineman. The linebacker core was superior and put fear into WKY ball carriers. Somerset and LCA will need to be far inferior to the 2017 Danville and 2018 CAL teams for the Cards to be 10 pts better. I just don't see it. I hope I'm wrong

I agree with you about the LBs. This years version is inferior to prior teams. Not so much last year, because that was the Cards weakness last year, as well. The DL was about the same as this years, also. I do think this D is making strides, maybe because the opposition has not been as good since district play started, but they certainly look improved the last month or so. With that said, I think this years offense is as solid as ever, maybe even a bit deeper with weapons and the OL has given Stinson great protection all year and the RBs all look very good and 3 or 4 WRs that really go and get it and make big plays. In addition, a Sr Stinson is better than ever. After seeing the Somerset/LCA game, I think either of them will be a strong challenge to anyone in 2a, including the Cards, but, I think the Cards bring a lot to the table and will be a very tough out. It'll take a team like those 2 to possibly knock them off, but, I do think either will have to play a great game to do it, At the same time, Mayfield will have to play an A game to knock those 2 out, too. I think all 3 are capable of winning it all and pretty evenly matched.
