I believe it was weather related. Knott Co. was hit harder with snow and ice than most of the surrounding counties. The county schools have been closed since December 3rd. Not many people actually realize how bad some of the roads and conditions are throughout the area.

With that being said, however, I personally hope they don't make up this game. I'd rather have a forfeit than take a chance on the players getting hurt. Bell Co. plays to injure. Call it physical if you want, but they take it to the extreme. Last year at Hazard in the Charlie Hammonds Classic, Coach Fraley almost made the players leave the floor and take a forfeit as opposed to being injured by Bell Co.'s players. It was way out of hand, but the officials should have been able to do a better job of controlling it.

But the game has been taken off the KHSAA schedules altogether, so there might have been an agreement made or something because, as of right now, it doesn't look like it will be made up and no forfeits by either side are being made.

After finishing my piece, I will wish Hazard the best for hopefully no further injuries when they play Bell. Heard Eric Back severely sprained his ankle the other night in Las Vegas, and was taken to the Hospital along with another Hazard player. I wish you guys a quick recovery. Hazard will need you against Bell Co.
