RE: M-A vs Wilcox
A couple of brief facts regarding M-A prior to proclaiming the Bears "as one of the state's best defenses" or that Wilcox is a 3 TD favorite over M-A. Does M-A have a very good D? Yes. IS M-A's D among the best in the state? No.
M-A's D is 3rd among the top teams of the CCS and anyone who thinks M-A's D is best in CCS they have not seen either SF or VC play. Both SF & VC have allowed less points and with stronger schedules. Most points given up by each team during season: SF allowed 33 to DLS, M-A allowed 28 to Milpitas, VC allowed 20 to Clovis West. Rankings of the 3 teams = DLS then Clovis West then Milpitas. Having said that all 4 teams Wilcox, M-A, VC & SF are very, very good teams and watching SF-VC or M-A vs Wilcox this week will be a real treat.
Wilcox due to their unbeaten record and season opening win over Valley Christian is IMO a very slight favorite over
M-A, but Wilcox is nowhere near a 3 TD favorite & if someone will give you M-A + 21 you should bet the house on M-A.
