The Breathitt Co Bobcats of 95 and 96 team would of beat the 1987 pikeville or the good 2004 team at Belfry. The reason that the bobcats would of beat the 87 pikeville team is I don't see them being able to stop the pass. The bobcats would stretch you out and just throw the ball all over the place and they could also run the ball. On defense they were very good, the stop some very good wishbone teams in Danville,Fort knox,Belfry. In 1996 Belfry was ranked #1 in 3a and bobcats were #1 in 2a and the Bobcats beat Belfry 54-6. The Bobcats would also hand the 2004 Belfry team a loss because the were to one dimensional. To beat the bobcats you would had to be able to pass also and not just throw it up to one player, but read a defense.

I don't believe the 96 Belfry team was ever #1 in 3A at any point. The Pirates lost to Male 7-0 in the Pike County Bowl the week prior to the Honey Bowl game vs. Breathitt. That was the first year of Belfry using the spread offense with Soph QB Jonathan Wright at the reigns feeling out that position.

The 2004 Belfry team was one dimensional, but it was probably the single greatest one dimension the mountains has ever seen. I am not sure EKY will ever see a backfield that was as dominant as Jones, Howard, and Childress. Belfry faced basically an 11 man box every game and still noone came close to shutting them down.
