Well, this year, that is 2023, IMO, Mayfield overall looks faster, bigger and nasty.

Speed all over the field, several people can play several positions.

At first the ranking might be a resume statement but at some point it has to be a prediction of what your team is right now.

To some extent. What happens is as teams play games, the resume changes and the rankings change. Not exactly a prediction of who would beat who but it starts to work in that direction as the season goes on.

Looks like maybe Beechwood should be ranked #3?

I’m not sure. I do know within the next few weeks about 4-5 Madison Central kids will be LCA kids.

Shocker.  
Amazing what that does.

They ever had that before?

@Voice of Reason  I thought you and some others might like that. 
 

I mean, it just blows my mind why so many want to don’t want to acknowledge the obvious role that speed and having better players has when it comes to high school football, college or even on the pro level. 
 

It’s like the time I heard an extremely decorated coach in this state, who at his first stint as a head coach for, oh, let’s say 5-10 years land a job at a household name program despite having a less than eye popping resume to say the least his first several years go ‘round as a HC.

He goes, “people think I got better as a head coach from school A to school B, and like most things, I guess you do to an extent with more age and wisdom that come along.    But, you know what I really realized? ‘There is a reason why mules don’t run in the Kentucky Derby.’ “

There's that side of your earlier post on speed, and then there is also this.

Will someone fill me in on the Mayfield team that did not have speed? I don't think I saw the Mayfield team without speed, if it ever happened.

I can’t ever think of one.  And not just one or two guys, but overall team speed, epitomized. 

Let me rephrase my comment, from what I have observed thus far,Mayfield both offensively, as well as defensively should be faster than they were last year.That is in my opinion.

Yes, Mayfield has good players. Yes, Mayfield has speed. What's new?

Mayfield is a likely candidate to win a long overdue title in 23.  That said though, many a trophy has landed elsewhere.  I would rather be lucky than good any day when a title is involved but I do like our chances.

LCA is loading up right now and will have something to say..

Beechwood Tigers have been hearing that for years. When you win the big one, then we can talk. LCA is the biggest underachieving team these last 3-5 years than any team I can think of in recent memory.

Am I wrong TP? We hear about transfers from every inch of the state… every year. Yet they can’t win the big one.
