I want to start off by saying that I'm not against bell. I have all the respect in the world for Bell and I think we need teams like Bell int the mountains so we have a chance to compete with the teams out west and up north,but I don't think this new coach from knox is the next coach Hilton. This coach put the best teams together that he could at knox and they were solid but they could never beat a championship caliber team. I think they had just as much talent and speed as Bell in the 2010 season but they lost to Bell twice that season and we all know what went down in the 2nd game in the post season. This coach IMO just don't have the thing,what ever it is that Hilton had that separated him from just good to great. Bell will be good they will be strong in the mountains and they will get deep in the post season from time to time. They may even squeeze into a championship maybe one time but a coach Hilton he is not. Just my OP but I hope i'm wrong. Last year he was still playing with a lot of what the old coach built but now he must build his own program and team. Only time will tell

This coach is not a "new coach". He was at Bell before he went to Knox where he turned a program around and got it on the right track. As far as putting together a championship team, he came very close to beating Bell at Bell (19-14) in '08 when Bell went on to win the state championship. Hilton's first years where not like his last years so don't expect a "new coach" to be a state championship coach right out of the gate. It takes time to build a reputation such as Hilton. All coaches tighten up around state time. Dudley is a prime example. State semi in my opinion is pretty dang good for a first year coach. Mills brings something to the table at Bell that's been missing for a long time. Bell faithfulls know what I'm talking about. The veteran kids as well as the underclassman all the way down into the middle school think the world of him and will give their all to his system. Look for a lot of kids to play that might not of under the old system.
