Boyle County is the reigning champs. Alot of people would assume that they are the favorite until they lose this year, if they do lose. Right now, Bell County looks like a preseason favorite. They do indeed, return alot of weapons. However, Boyle County returns a great defense. In fact, a defense that stalled Bell County's offense last year. A defense that took them to the championship. A defense that tightened up in the 2nd half to beat Lone Oak in the state championship. This defense is going to be strong and I mean real strong. It will certainly be better than last years defense. However, Boyle County does have some key replacements on offense that need to be taken care of. But as Hatz said, they simply reload, both Bell County and Boyle County. IMO, I believe that Devan Hale is going to shine at quarterback this coming season. Lamar Dawson is going to be a monster on both sides of the ball.

For right now I'm not going to make a bold prediction. I'll just say that whoever wins the Bell County vs. Boyle County game is going to have their hands full against Lone Oak. :Thumbs:

I agree both Bell Co and Boyle Co reload. Im just giving Bell Co the edge because if they do meet up it will be back on Log Mountain.

Just remember Bell Co's Offense was very young last year. Like I stated our QB, all 3 RB's, and top receiver return this year. Boyle Co held Bell Co to 1 TD and Bell Co did the same thing holding Boyle Co to 1 TD. Bell Co also return both LB's as well. :Thumbs:

4A is going to be fun to watch this year. I also think having a 6'5 and 6'6 linemen this year will help Cory Davenport find the holes in the line. These two linemen didnt play last year. One transfered back and the other one was just a freshman last year. These boys arent just big they are big and strong.
