I don't know what Mayfield brings back, but I know what LCA lost. I'd have to slide Mayfield at least into that #2 spot for now. Yes Owensboro Catholic brings back Atwell, but I think it's being undersold how important Tutt Carrico was to that team last year. Mayfield wins that championship going away if not for him. As for Beechwood, I could see this season going two ways: a four or three way battle for the top spot, or Beechwood just runs away with it this year. Neither would surprise me. Hayden reminds me a lot of Stinson at Mayfield a few years back. Just a super accurate passer who makes the right decisions. They are going to be tough to beat for anyone in 2A.
