Belfry will be the team to beat this year and next.

As long as this current Belfry Junior class is there you can expect them to stay at an elite level. Going to be hard pressed to find a team in the East that will beat them in 2015 and 2016.

2017 is the year to try and get Belfry. Once Horton, Bentley, Corbett, Hall, and the gang graduate and the young guys behind them are asked to pave their own way. I think there is a very strong chance Corbin's best shot will be 2017 and would call them the favorite though it is so far away.

With that said, as long as families stay in the area Belfry still has a promising future. They have won three straight Middle School State Championships (starting with the Junior Class). Belfry's Freshman team last year beat the brakes off Johnson Central who had also won a State Championship and had been the only team to beat those guys when they were at BMS.

Keep an eye on upcoming Sophomores Derek Wellman, Taveon Hunter, Justin Adkins, and Devin Varney. Varney started as a Freshman at CB, Hunter is an electric athlete who contributed in Kick Return and may help at SE, Adkins will get reps at HB. Wellman is the one I am most excited about.
If there were another great FB in the Belfry pipeline it is him. Wellman will start against Tates Creek..either at FB or LB... just don't know where yet. He is going to be one of the better players in EKY by the time he is a Junior.

I cant necessarily disagree with that.
I will go into this season with Belfry as the favorite out of the east, I don't think that changes, but Boyle will be a tough out for Belfry if they both make it to the title game.
Bigblue82 might want to chime in with names of upcoming players because I cant remember many Corbin names, but theyre are several kids that will be frosh and sophomores at Corbin who will be extremely good, especially with that frosh class who won two state titles in middle school and to be honest, absolutely embarrassed everyone they played . Competition may come a little quicker than you think. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Corbin dressing 85 to 90 players next year and for the foreseeable future. I do know Haddix has them working and excited. The sheer numbers alone of kids in the weight room and conditioning since school let out is pretty amazing.
Hopefully GBB82 gets on and starts talking. Id like to hear his thoughts on Corbin right now.
