Belfry is a great program and you are doing a lot right but be honest with me.
Do you think mountain teams work on the pass game as much as they should or could especially pass defense? To me it starts at youth league on up. If you dont work hard on something from the early stages and find and develop the kids to do it then its not going to just magically appear at the high school level. I would bet that the teams that you mentioned who try to pass are still one dimensional in the lower leagues. I just believe that you need a plan B when plan A is not working or being shut down. I believe that if teams in this area would bring in quality people to teach pass O and D and just spend maybey half the time that we do on the run and start it while the kids are young then I think you would be amazed at what we could find that people say we dont have.

Louisville Central has had a bunch of D-1 talent the last few years! I don't think Belfry has had a single kid sign D-1 but they have still managed to play Louisville Central tough! I am not sure what Football you watch Bama has won 3 out of the last 4 National titles by running the football and playing good D! Bama had two 1000 yard rushers last year. Hal Mumme threw it all over the field while he was at UK but the best SEC record he could manage was 4-4. When a team like Highlands puts a bunch of WR's that run 4.5 and JC has Zero DB's that run 4.5 who is going to win? Give Haywood ONE PLAYER who is a 4.4 guy and he will win you a title! A real 4.4 forty yard dash translates 99% of the time into a sub 11 second 100 meter dash, take a look at the State track and field results and tell me how many sub 11 seconds 100's you find coming out of Eastern KY. I can think of only 1 from JC and that kid transferred in from down South and was not much of a football player. I can remember only a handful form Eastern KY. I remember one from Bell Co and he was part of one of there title teams. Pikeville in the 80's had Bobby Deramus and Chris Baily(?) I saw both of them run SUB 11 seconds. I am not sure the Jones kid from Belfry ran track but I would bet you he could run sub 11! Funny how those State Football title follow those Sub 11 Second guys around??? Ashland won a title in the early 90's and they had a FREAK of nature dude that was big as ahouse and ran 10.8 !
