MA is not twice as good or fast as last year. Better than last year (a championship team), yes, but that's just hyperbole. Mason isn't running a 2.25 second 40. I do think they would be contenders to win 2A if they were to play up, but wouldn't mean they would win it. Definitely a contender though. I would even venture to say they might even compete as an underdog in 3A this year. It's a complete team I haven't seen matched at 1A. But, any team can lose on a given night though. I wouldn't even say Mount Airy is guaranteed to win 1A this year. Stuff happens. I would say they are the favorites, and if some would quit taking so much offense that other fanbases aren't just laying down and saying their team has no chance, you would probably see they have admitted several time throughout the season they see Mount Airy as the favorites. They do think their teams can compete and have a chance to win too. That's not an insult or diss. It should be expected and I enjoy watching them try to do so. That's the fun part.
Only first round potential upset games I see in the west are,
South Davidson - Albemarle
East Wilkes -Mitchell
I think something would have to go wrong for Murphy or Thomasville to lose their 1st round games.
Gasoline. Lights the match.
Wait, so subdivision titles were/are only won because they are an easier route? We've been assured that's not the case and they should hold equal weight in exclamations of success.
And go!😁
