I can not see Whitley beating Bell. Whitley was horrible last year and they lost there best offensive player. Corbin may very well have the talent but will these new schemes they decided to run will they work out? Corbin always has been a run team and now from what I understand they are going to be throwing the ball a lot. That's a big change if the coachs can pull it together they will be dangerous. But either way I see bell vs Corbin a great game with the edge to bell county.

nicker:

That was the worst season Whitley has had in almost 30 years. Other than Blacks first couple of years, I don't remember a Whitley team since the late 80s that has failed to pick up at least 4 or 5 wins.

With that being said, that same "horrible" Whitley team literally played without there backfield against Bell. Ysidro and Mills was out, and Hooper screwed his ankle or foot up in the first quarter. After all that and a very young line, Whitley still should have won that game, and almost did if it weren't for running out of gas.

If Dudley were still there, I would say theres no way he lets that happen again, but hes not, and Bell is not what is use to be. Don't get me wrong, Bell is still a strong program, but I don't see them fielding any more teams like that 08 team that was so good. They are beatable now, and it will show. I think topnotch is right in his assessment. I see a 6-4 year for Bell, or maybe 7-3, but no worse than 6-4.
South Pitt, Corbin, Harlan County, and maybe a Whitley depending on what chappell does with that bunch, or even a wayne county could surprise them.

Don't worry, it happens to everybody. I laid the smack down on Bell when I was in high school, but it hasn't happened since. Just be glad you've won the last 7 or 8 in a row.
