There maybe a few surprises from the east in 2010. Belfry was mentioned, and from what I've heard, they are in a rebuilding season. But they have a great coach and tradition going for them, that may make them a threat in 2010.

Then there's is Sheldon Clark, who came on strong in the play-offs. As I understand it, they are returning a good group of young men who saw a lot of action in 2009. They just may surprise some of the football pundits.

Likewise, do not count out Pikeville Central; they have been improving the last couple years, and will be a force to be reckoned with.

To sum it up, however, only the games on Friday nights' will confirm our thoughts, or on the other hand, disavow those thoughts and predictions.

Good luck to all in 2010!

To make predictions is a lot of fun, but the "proof is in the pudding," and realistically, your last statement is what counts.
