WildZero,

For starters I am not a Belfry fan and never will be. But you must be crazy to make that statement. There is no way you can live anywhere North, South or East of Lexington to make a statement like you just made. Everyone that has played Belfry over the past 20 or so years has almost always left saying that they just played one of the best teams that they have ever played and definitely one of the classiest. Belfry has multiple state championships and are a threat to win it every year. Coach Haywood is perhaps the best coach in the state of Kentucky and several of those years that his teams have made a run he did it with a lot less talent and skill as compared to the teams he beat to get there. Belfry has a winning tradition that 95% of the state schools and 90% of the private schools would love to have. Keep in mind that Belfry is not a private school and they are just one of the high schools located in Pike County. They do not get all of the best players in their own county, those players are distributed pretty equally through Pike Central, Pikeville, Shelby Valley and of course Belfry get's their fair share. But to ignorantly make a statement like "Will Belfry ever be able to compete with the big Boys?" is ridiculous. Ask the coach at Central if he thought that Belfry didn't belong in the championship game last year. This is like asking if St. X can play with the big boys. I mean they have been losing to Trinity the last few years, does that mean they are no longer one of the big boys in the state. You must have felt like a dumb--- when you hit the post button for this thread.
