Belfry

1. 2004 State Champs- Possibly the greatest rushing offense to come through Kentucky
2. 2003 State Champs- Didn't have the defense of 2003 but basically the same team
3. 1989 State Semi-Finalist- Lost at Highlands by literally inches... great team who just came up short
4. 2013 State Champs- Excellent defense with a solid offense and a smooth operator at QB
5. 2014 State Champs- Probably equally as good on defense, but not nearly as efficient on offense
6. 2007 Runner Ups- Absolutely demolished everything in their path until laying an egg in the Finals against a Central team they may have overlooked.
7. 1985 Runner Ups- If memory serves they played the Finals battered, bruised, and sick missing several key players
8. 1986 Runner Ups- Lost a tough game to a very good Owensboro team
9. 2012 Runner Ups- Lost a heart breaker in overtime to Central. An all around solid team.
10. 2008 Semi-Finalist- Give them the edge because it was a very good team with a pretty balanced offense who was 13-0 and looking like they were ready to avenge the fate of the 07 team... completely got blindsided by Breathitt in a Semi's game the Bobcats executed to perfection.


Notable teams:
1979 Runner-Ups- Admittedly I don't know a ton about this team, but they set the tone for the growth of the Belfry program despite getting spanked by Joker Phillips and Franklin-Simpson in the Finals

2011 Runner Ups- Really atoned themselves well as a young team began growing. Pushed a heavily favored Central team to the max.

2010 Runner Ups- To be honest not a very good team, the most over achieving Belfry team of all-time. Super young they got hot at the right time and knocked off two of 3A's top teams in the playoffs before Central crushed them. Though a Runner-Up..probably not even a Top 15 or Top 20 Belfry team of all time.

2005 Semi's- On the note of over achievers, Belfry was expected to take a major step back after back to back titles and a stellar Senior class... instead they pieced together a team who beat some good teams and nearly pulled a comeback win on the road to eventual champion Russell. A false start away potentially.

1990 Regional Finalist- Very good Belfry team who destroyed Highlands early in the season but ran into the Ashland buzzsaw led by Juan Thomas
