I would agree with you that what Franklin Co. did was inexcusable. We all should try and support our pike county teams and the bowl IMO. That being said there is an argument to be made that Belfry is a premier football program not only Pike co. but in the state. If the PCB wants to improve the bowl the put out the money and get Belfry some real competition in hear just for argument sake I think Louisville central would make the trip. I have the utmost respect for coach Haywood and what he has bean able to accomplish at belfry.I love all our mountain teams and always root for them. This argument Pikeville wants to make that they should always be the headliner is ridiculous the 80s are long since gone and if they want to grab all the headlines then let them schedule a team that is actually a threat and not a sure win on there home field.As for ER SV PCC and Phelps the fan draw would be much greater if there were 4 other teams invited. I would venture to say a PCC Russel rematch would be a great game as well as draw Would also love to see ER Mason Co. IMO thees kind of changes would improve the bowl.

PCB was started by PHS, they SHOULD be the headliner every year. It was the brainchild of Ken Trivette and some boosters, along with CTB and other sponsors. What Belfry has done over the past 10 years has been awesome for football in the mountains, and I have a ton of respect for their program, under Haywood and others. But make no mistake, PHS was THE program long before Belfry on a state-wide level.
