I never said nothing about Belfry against teams from SKY.
I only said Bell and Corbin. There a whopping 3-2 against those two. Not exactly domination. I watched two Whitley teams that to be honest, weren't that good hang with Belfry just a few years ago. There not world beaters, and there path the majority of the past decade to get to the title game hasn't been hard at all. Corbin should have been in BG last year if not for a bad call here and there.
In fact, since 2007, id take Bell in 07, 08, 09, 10, and toss ups in 11 and 12, maybe even 13 since those 4 teams were relatively close.
I would have taken Belfry for sure only last year. That's just my opinion, and Belfry has more titles, but overall, Bell has been more of the mountain killer than anyone more consistently.

You watched Belfry play Whitley in 2009 and 2010... the two weakest Belfry teams of the past fifteen years.

You honestly give thought to Bell County in 2013? That alone just blew your whole argument out of the water. Bell County got a running clock put on them by Wayne County and lost by two scores to Middlesboro. They also lost to a Harlan County team Belfry beat.

I have no problem saying Bell County had the better team in 2009 and 2010. As I said those were two Belfry teams that were not very good.

There also is no way to argue Bell deserves the credit for 2008 when they won the title...even though that Belfry team was darn good and was upset by Breathitt looking ahead.

With that said 2011 and 2012? Get out of here with that nonsense.

2011 Central beat Bell 26-0 as Bell found out how good the Yellowjackets really are... Belfry lost 15-14 and it took a perfect pass in the back of the endzone for Central to win.

2012 Bell couldn't even beat Central on their homefield with Central's starting QB out with a concussion. Everyone hyped how Bell had their calendar circled and how it would be a different story on log mountain. Belfry lost to Central as well..but by this point Central was back to full strength and it took Overtime to win it.

The only toss-up year is 2007. That Belfry team was scary good and obliterated everything in their path including Johnson Central and a very good and undefeated Breathitt County team. Bell County was very strong too though their schedule left a lot to be desired as they went undefeated as well. Both teams beat Sheldon Clark by similar margins in the regular season, but Belfry put a running clock on them in the playoffs. The only difference is Bell got crushed by a very good LexCath team in the Regional Finals..whereas Belfry got upset by an underdog Central team.

Once again..this isn't your Grand Dad's Bell County anymore...Dudley ain't walking through that door and since he has left there is a clear distinction between Belfry and Bell. You will never see me deny that in Dudley's prime Bell was at times on another level (Though Holcomb's Breathitt teams were the best to ever come out)
