IMO, Belfry will have another cake walk to the finals next year, and the year after, and the year after. Let's face it, the only current Eastern 3A team to derail the Pirates in the past 10 or 15 years, are the Breathitt County Bobcats. My point is, if the bobcats are down, The Pirates will be playing in Bowling Green for many years to come. Congrats to Belfry on the state championship!!!

Russell is right there with Breathitt having beat Belfry in the Semi's in 205 and 2006... but the Devils are having their own program issues to ovecome


Right now the East is not looking very stout next year.

This year's Bourbon County was the best team Belfry has seen short of the Finals since Breathitt beat them in 2002... very good team.. but they are losing a host of very talented Seniors. Heard Holman's injury ended up only being a high ankle sprain.. with him and the Hill kid back Bourbon has the foundation to build around and would have o be the early pick to win their Region. I would probably make them the slight favorite over Mason who returns their QB O'Mara and the Hill kid.

This should be the best PC team Chapman has fielded in 2014. They have Justice/Elkins/Turnmire and more skill guys back... I could see the incoming Freshman Conn playing at RB as well... there is no doubt in my mind PC will be a Top 10 team in 3A.

On that note, to say Belfry is going to be the heavy favorite to reach BG again is an understatement.

I mentioned it in another thread, but IMHO the 2014 Pirates takes a small step back in terms of overall team power... but the 2015, 2016, and 2017 are about to be scary good.
