I think it is funny that the mountain teams fans want to fight it out for a meaningless title of KING OF THE MOUNTAINS, when they should be worrying about being KING OF THEIR CLASS. Everyone knows who the best programs are. The 3 KILLER B's...Bell, Belfry,and Breathitt...JC...Harlan and Knox...Somerset and Hazard. All those teams can make noise in most years throughout the state.
For the posts about Belfry not having to play Central until state...That is just whining...Within one week's time, which is a fair time frame comparison, Belfry played much better against the Jackets than did Bell. Bell had some missed opportunites and they contained Wales till late. But ultimately they were not good enough... The talk about Belfry not having to worry about Wales, well yes they did...And you know what they did? they knocked his socks off. 2 carries -1 yards. If Bell had showed up at Central and got off the bus the week before, and they got the news that "Hey, Ace Wales is hurt, he isn't playing tonight", Do you think Bell would have wanted to postpone the game till Wales was healthy? No, of course not. You play the 11 you have against the 11 they have and may the best team win. Injuries are part of competing hard for all teams. Central has been the best no doubt and they get all the credit. Bell, will more than likely get their chance again, and if Bell is good enougn, then they will win, if not, then Central will more than likely be in the finals again. I would love to see a Bell and Belfry final. Two fantastic programs that play HS football the way it ought to be played. Hard-nosed and hard-hitting with little fanfare. Good Luck to all the mountain teams the rest of the season.
