The Good:
Belfry's backfield is going to be sick. The thought of Hensley moving to HB and being joined by Taveon and Wellman, with Adkins, Bentley, and Varney getting carries will be a scary thought for 3A.

Belfry has a great core back on Defense and will be very solid at the DE/LB spot. With Adkins back the secondary shouldn't see a big drop as well.

All these Belfry blowouts meant lots of playing time for the young guys and they excelled. Also this current Junior, Soph, and Fresh classes allwon Middle School Titles so the talent is definitely there.


The Bad:
One does not simply replace 3 D-1 Offensive Linemen. Dotson and Bentley may be the two best linemen in Belfry History, there will be a dropoff

Ray Horton is an all-timer at DT and Chase Dove and Bentley made this DLine sick. Belfry will have a major hole to fill on the Dline

Browning runs the Offense well but Corbett was a smooth customer and a threat with his feet. Part of what made Belfry so tough to defend was the fact all four running threats could take it to the house every play.

THE UGLY

Losing Austin Woolum means losing an all-around solid player on Offense and Defense, but more importantly losing one of the most reliable kickers in KY. Cook did an admirable job but Woolum will be a big loss on every side of the ball

Much like Woolum, Cameron Catron was an all-around star in every aspect and made countless big plays. I dont see a single player who can step in and replace him, Belfry will need to achieve it by committee and it still may be too tough of a feat

Expectations are through the roof and the target gets even bigger for Belfry as they enter unprecedented realms. Belfry loses numerous 3 and 4 year starters and the rest of 3A should be up as LexCath, Corbin, Boyle, and Central all had very young teams. These guys will have to hit the ground running as Haywood will schedule hard and every 3A team will be gunning hard for the 4 time champs.
