[30 going on 40]

NCC played Belfry in 2006.

Belfry won 7-6.

NCC went on to win the State Title in 2A. Belfry reached the Semi-Finals before getting dominated by Russell 19-0.

That 2006 NewCath team was much better than the 2014 edition of NewCath. That was one of the weaker Belfry teams of the past decade.

Belfry is 3-0 in their last 3 matchups against NKY teams defeating previously mentioned NewCath, Cov. Holy Cross, and Lloyd Memorial. The Lloyd team they beat in the Semi's is probably the best Lloyd Memorial team of the past 20 years.

For the sake of comparison last year:
NewCath 49
Somerset 48

Belfry 37
Somerset 12

2006, the NewCath team that started the season 1-5? The one that had to replace 18 starters from the year before? Last year, NewCath was decent compared to other years, but were behind every other NewCath team to make a state final. We can cherry pick years all we want, but what does that have to do w/ this year?
