I root for Highlands. Compare schedules for next year if you'd like. That's the team that supposedly responded to your coaches statewide email. Your coach politely declined an offer to play.

Why do you get on here and rip mountain teams, in particular, Bell Co.?
I know your a highlands fan which means you'll never meet Bell again unless a regular season game is scheduled which is never going to happen obviously for more than one reason.

Bell schedule a SMART schedule. They scheduled teams who are relatively close and are good rival games for the school. In the economic situation we are in, it was the right thing to do. I'm sure highlands is playing somebody like Colerain or Cincy St. X next year which is fine, but how are you going to ask Bell Co. to get a schedule like highlands when highlands gets games like that. You and i both know for a fact that no Ohio team that is good or any team out of lville is going to sign a home/away contract with Bell because they have nothing to gain and the travel is far away.

Now, for Bells schedule, I like what Dudley did for the schedule next year. In particular, playing all of the old time rivals. Corbin is a district game now which bodes well for both schools, because the politics and board members cant stop it from happening or do anything about it from either school.

I love the Bell/Whitley game every year. Its a big gate and these two schools go way back. Even though Bell has had the Better of Whitley the last few years, That use to be a head knocking close game every year.

Bell and Mboro should have never stopped playing, I applaud the new Mboro coach on scheduling Bell. You just cant beat a city/county game at the gate, I wish Corbin and Whitley would learn that.

Harlan County is a no brainer. HC is no push over and its right next door to Bell County. small travel and good game equals a lot of money for these school in a game where two good teams will play.

I also hope Bell gets Henry clay in that bowl game next year. I would assume they will be the best team in Lex next year and be a good tough challenge to start the season off.

The only thing i see as a bad thing for bell is four away games to start the season, but they should be able to overcome it.

Goodluck next season bobcats:Thumbs:
