FINALLY... this is back. We figured it would with Middlesboro getting a new coach.

[BellCoBobcats09]

This was finalized today. They will play week 2.

[Mountain Coach]

Well maybe if middlesboro beat Bell Co, it would keep their players from leaving and playing elsewhere..

[RunItUpTheGut]

Glad to see this, its the best thing for everyone involved.

This is a little off topic, but the other day when i drove over to middlesboro i noticed something.
The sign heading into middlesboro with the city's population read....Middlesboughro or middlesborough or something like that.
I know the school and everybody else spells it like Middlesboro , but i was wondering how this came about, i obviously don't think it was a misspelling of the sign, but did it use to be spelled like that or something?

Use to be spelled that way. It was named after Middlesborough, England.

Wow Bell gets Corbin and Middlesboro back

Wow Bell gets Corbin and Middlesboro back

I know! We are excited! The teams that their coaches wanted to run from us. Now Jewell has to play us with no choice. Middlesboro has a Bell ex-coach Frazier. We knew it was coming.

Next year will be exciting with some new rivals coming back on board. Hopefully we keep Knox Central on the schedule. I know Harlan Co is back on for next year as well.

Hopefully in 2011 we will have rivals of:

Knox Central
Corbin
Middlesboro
Harlan Co

Dont forget that you will still have Whitley as well, that's a great non district schedule for Bell with close games and good atmospheres.

True. Thats a rival game too. I didnt know if it was still scheduled to be played or not?

[RunItUpTheGut]

It should be played, i haven't heard otherwise and its a close game that doesn't cost a lot to get to, id say you'll definitely see these two playing for a long time.

[KyFanaticus]

Absolutly great ... :Cheerlead

Now if they would schedule Pineville

NO don't even think it - Don't want no Bell / Pineville game. nope, don't want one , don't need one , wont buy one ... no, no way stop ...

Yes I remember when all four played one another (Lone Jack too), we'd get our win's here and there just enough to keep it interesting. Was nice rivalry among them all. Great games back then. But still Pineville doesn't need the thrashings Bell would dish out. So just Middlesboro / Pineville.

Be great for us both with the travel costs of a 12 mile road game, fans easier to attend and more likely to, Course being 1A vs 2A isnt that big a gap, and Pineville will again get its occassional win, and the rivalry will be renewed

:devilflam

[redstorm]

If we can get Corbin on a regular home and home we would be happy. Corbin program has went down hill the past 5 years.

[SweetLemonade]

It's good to have so many rivalries on a schedule, gets players more ready to play!

[Southeast Bluegrass]

I'd like for Bell to bring back the Coca Cola Classic like it had back in the day. That would be cool.

[Intimidator]

As a fan I would like to see Frazier and Hilton work together on there schedule make it to where at least one team is home every week and when both teams are playing at home on the same week have one of em play a Saturday game (day or night) , IMHO both teams would draw bigger home crowds.

[RoShamBo]

Middlesboro is going to have a monster schedule next season that is for sure.

[Intimidator]

So just Middlesboro / Pineville.

I'd like to see M'boro and Pineville play again someday I like those short away games heck maybe we can even talk Cumberland Gap into playing us but i don't think that will ever happen geeez they've been doodging us for years even when i was in High School back In the Powell Valley days and let's not forget about Claiborne or Thomas Walker , At least Lee isn't afraid to come through the tunnell.

The person I got my info from yesterday said Middlesboro tried to schedule Pineville for next year but they refused too.
