MAYFIELD TROJANS
Spring Preseason Rank: No. 8
2018 Record: 6-5 overall, 4-2 district
Playoffs: First Round
BREAKDOWN
Best-case scenario: 7-3 overall. The Mayfield Trojans are back in the conversation for a district championship. They took a step back in 2017 but I believe that season is in the rearview mirror and they could be in the conversation as a darkhorse in 2019. Games that could get them to 7 wins this season: Atrisco, Del Valle, West Mesa, Carlsbad, Onate, Gadsden, and Hobbs. The Del Valle game could have the Trojans with a 3-0 start before a visit with preseason number one ranked Cleveland, in Rio Rancho. Del Valle is the one they lost last season but the Conquistadores graduated do-everything QB from last season.
Worst-Case scenario: 5-5 overall. A .500 season is the lowest we could see the Trojans this season. Atrisco, West Mesa, Onate, and Gadsden are the games we see as 'automatics'. Carlsbad is still in that group but maybe in the next tier up but the Cavemen have been in a struggle to break out of the group of teams missing the playoffs each season.
Over/Under: 6.5 wins. The Trojans two magic games come against Del Valle (El Paso, TX) and Hobbs this season. They went 1-1 last season against the two (beat Hobbs, 35-8) but as mentioned the Trojans could have a legit shot at avenging the 28-10 loss to Del Valle last season. We are taking the OVER with the Trojans.
Prediction: 7-3 Overall.
