Casey has steadily improved every year, while I don't know what they lost or gained, I still believe it will be a tough game for bell driving all that way to play there. Plus, just as Bell "is getting better" so is Coach Stonebreaker and Casey. That man has done the impossible over there. So 8-2 in the reg season isn't that far off if its a weak schedule. They still wont make it out of the 2nd round, which im pretty sure is way below the standards of the old days......Bell's 2018 Schedule

Very winnable schedule. Casey and Corbin will be the 2 hardest opponents and will be on the road.

It will take every X, every O, every Jimmy, and every Joe for the Hounds to get past The Cats!
In all honesty, The Dud has a fairly easy schedule up until the Corbin game, his kids will come in extremely confident and ready to go. Anyone that thinks Corbin will simply walk all over Bell County this year may be in for a surprise. If he can control the ball, it could be a game.

I expect to see improvement, but the game will never be in doubt. Corbin wins by 28 plus, possibly still a running clock.

Get this through your head that large pay check he gets isnât indicative of the season your gonna have. As far as playing Corbin I wouldnât be making any large bets with that line of reasoning unless your getting a large point spread like 50!!:welcome:

Iâll put it this way. The Corbin/Bell points spread will be bigger than the Corbin/Whitley points spread. Corbin will win both.

One huge thing people always over look and underestimate with situations like this and a coach with the reputation and resume like he has is new talent. When you have a coach who is a proven winner and has championship rings on his finger kids and their parents will want to follow him. They know that a coach like him and the program he runs he will get the best possible out of their kid. I'm sure there is a ton of Bell alumni living in surrounding counties and even in north eastern Tennessee and even probably western Virginia who will jump at the chance for their kid to play for him. With a coach like this every year people make heir predictions but then get surprised by the new talent. A team coached by someone like him can improve and rebound faster then the average team.Don't be surprised if Bell shocks some people this year.

I agree!! I look for Bell to make a mark this season; not sure about the Corbin game. That will be a good one to watch.
Where have you been?????

Your overlooking the fact that the area and areas around it has changed since Dud was last there. Harlan has its own high school that is doing very well and has a quality coach, won a regional championship last year. Knox Central has slowly but steadily built a decent program. Just donât see kids leaving those areas for him like they used to. Time will tell and thatâs the point not sure heâs gonna invest enough time to bring it back, from everything Iâve heard this year and next the heâs done!

A lot of people are hoping Bell won't come back to the top of the mountain, but its coming fellas. The Ole Man can coach. The team looked good yesterday morning. Bigger, stronger, faster than last year. I don't think we are there yet, but we are making leaps not steps forward.

Schedule Corbin next year..... Donât tuck your tail and run. Thatâs all I gotta say about that.... Itâs funny to me with a schedule like yâall got the next 2 years that you are already on the top!! Quit making yourself look like a big hound dog... Yâall kittens.... The Haddix Hounds own Bell... 0 losses.
