Good post. The only thing I see that I would take in consideration is, you don't want to play so many good teams that you risk losing so many kids to injury. The tougher the games the greater the risk is for that to happen. Mainly because the kids have to play more in those games and they tend to be much more physical. However without a knock on anyone, Bell will have district games in which they can rest players. Personally, I'd like to play 3-4 tough games each year for sure, along with your district games. And many years you may end up with 2 or 3 good district teams. As for this, we have Knox Central that will be somewhat of a tough game. It just depends on how much better they get and if Bell stays healthy.

Out of district this is who Bell has played that is good
09 Whitley, Marion, Johnson Cent, Alcoa,
08 Whitley
07 Whitley, Tates Creek
06 Whitley, Henry Clay, Corbin

I would think dudley and Bell would try to show the state just how good they were, like in 06. But in 06 Rock beat them twice. In 09 Bell did play some pretty good teams. Is the schedule the same this year with the exception of Alcoa.
