What's your concern with Belfry?

The Pirates return 7 starters on both sides of the ball from last year's State Runner-Up squad who matured at season's end to beat Somerset and Mason County (2 of the Top 3 teams in 3A last year). They have a 3 year starter at QB, a 1000 yard rusher back, and basically their entire starting O-line. On defense they return both LB's, both DE's, and possibly one of the Top 3 defensive players in the mountains in DB Josh Dixon. In addition, Belfry's phenomenal talent in their Freshman and Sophomore class from last year will have one more year of maturity.They have a Coach who will probably be the State's All-Time winner at the helm?

Granted, Belfry has the most difficult schedule in the mountains and will take some L's playing up in class against some good teams as well as playing 2A #6 Pburg, 1A #5 Pikeville, as well as the toughest 3A district in the state.

That is tough but dont forget whitley has Harlan Co., Bell Co., Boyle Co, Perry Co., and Clay Co.
I think that would be hard to top as far as toughest scedule in the mountains.
Gonna be a long year.....
