Belfry's defensive performance on the road against Johnson Central in the last game of the season is a bigger accomplishment than anything that Bell has done. I don't expect that either Covington Catholic or Highlands, if JC upsets CovCath, will be able to contain JC's running game to the extent that Belfry did. I would rank a healthy Belfry team #2 to Harlan. Breathitt's wins don't even begin to compare.

They are very dangerous and the potential Belfry/Breathitt game will be one of the best match ups of the year.What does it matter what class a team is. When I played at breathitt we beat a lot of teams that were 4 a (6a now ) some where good and some suck. What im getting at isnt doesnt matter the size of the school if they are good then they are good.People can think what they want but Somerset is a very good team ( they were rank 15th in all of the class when bobcats played them.)that had a bad night against Whitley co. They beat Danville that beat Boyle co who spank Whitley co. So how is that breathitt hasn't played nobody, heck hazard is a good team that will be back in the championship game this year.
I find it hard to see how the Henry Clay loss is really of any significance negatively for Belfry. It served positively for the Pirates in many ways, and Belfry had a lot of good things happen including 340 yards on the ground against a 6A team. Belfry was at a huge disadvantage having only played a weak Harrison County team, while HC had played two games against John Hardin and a Ryle team that is down, but still better than a lot of teams.
Belfry/Breathitt winner will be a decent favorite in the semis.
The regional final that really intrigues me is Bell/Central if it happens. My line on this game on a neutral field would be Central by 10, but the game isn't neutral at all. Central will bring no one with them and that's not being disrespectful it's just the truth and I know the game is not decided by the number of fans but Bell's homefield will be big. Central can say that long drives do not bother them, and they have the rings as some proof, but the last time they visited the mountains, JC humbled them. It was not a playoff game however.
With those points being made, I'm not sure how Bell's O can score enough against Central's D. If I had to choose a winner, I'd pull for Bell, but pick the Jackets 21-14.
I will take Belfry 21-14 over Breathitt in a real good game with the Cats committing one more big error than Belfry...If these match ups happen, it could be two classic games.
