Im not sure why Bell receives the hate they do, but ive respected that program for many years, all the way back to when i was playing high school ball. Dudley wasnt very liked among other fans and coaches, but the guy won games. I would think most would trade there past seasons with Bells success.
And, i can understand the HC/Bell relationship. Thats a true rivalry, and its needed for both schools. Its a fun thing to watch, especially since HC can compete now.

With that said, looking at Bells season, ive said it time and time again. This will be the most vulnerable year Bell will have since i can remember. I think its a rebuilding process thats going to take a couple of years to complete.

With the schedule, topcat isnt to far off. I think South Pitt and Harlan County are definite losses. The Whitley and Knox games will be similar, but i think Bell has a chance. They are very capable of winning those games. Ill keep them at a loss for now, but that could very well change. Wayne County is Bells most important game and i think Wayne will come away with a district title this year, but Bell has a chance in that game. Unless an upset to Corbin happens, I see the rest as sure wins.

At worst, I see a 5-5 season for Bell, and at best an 8-2 season. I think it will fall somewhere in the middle of that.

I agree with you there, the only thing between Wayne Co and a 15-0 season will be Central but, I think they will get past them this year. They came ever so close to it last year.

As far as for Bell Co, I feel almost the same with 5-5 being the worst and more plausible with 7-3 being the best IMO.
