Mayfield/Caldwell Co Comparison

I have been doing some research in preparation for this week’s big small school game. Everyone knows Mayfield is ranked #1 in the ap polls for 1a and Caldwell is #1 in the 2a polls. They are both 9-0. They both operate from the spread look on offense. They both have really good quarterbacks. They both have a wealth of receivers. I wished they would turn in stats to KHSAA so I could use some of them. Mayfield has averaged a score of 45-18 per game. Caldwell has averaged a score of 51-19 per game. I checked several different resources to break their scheduling down even further. This is what I came up with:

First by the AP rankings.
Mayfield has beaten #7 in 6a, #9 in 3a, #11 in 2a, #11 in 5a and #3 in 1a.
Caldwell Co has beaten #11 in 2a.
