I wouldn't call the west weak, at all.. Mayfield doesn't have the offensive firepower of past teams, but, there defense will keep them in most games and there offense is good enough to get them thru.. Beechwood is very solid this year and Frankfort is no slouch, probably about equal with Hazard. And anyone who sells Russellville short, would be doing them a big injustice.. They're tough as nails and will lay the wood to you. They also have tremendous speed. It's not often Mayfield runs into a team with more speed and athleticism, but, the Panthers were the faster team and they have athletes all over the field. There line play is also very good and that's where I thought Mayfield would have the advantage and honestly, they were about equal and more than held there own.. I'm worried about having to play them again in the regionals. I fully expect another full 4 qtr game that could go either wat..
