Gallia Academy 3-1 so far is looking like a Middlesboro level team. Very good offense but I have a feeling their defense is suspect. Belfry should be favored there, but should be a competitive game.

Heavy favorite against Pike Central and Sheldon Clark.. most likely running clock games.

Lawrence County is a quality team. Probably good enough to force Belfry to play their starters until at least the start of the 4th.

Two obvious places for losses are at CAK, who is 2-3, but their 3 losses are to Knoxville Webb (a Top 15 overall team in TN), perennial powerhouse Knoxville Catholic by 3, and a historically strong Powell team by 1. CAK is the equivalent of like a Lexington Catholic or a Boyle County. Should be a tossup game with Belfry entering as a slight underdog. Johnson Central has to be a favorite against Belfry on paper.

I am seeing 8-2 most likely with 9-1 as a pretty good chance splitting the two tossup games.
