In the last 30 years what Belfry record, It dont matter back when dionsaurs were still walking the earth. Overall kentucky Highschool Football better than West Virginia, Just Like Tennessee and Ohio Football Better than Kentucky Overall!!

For the record this one isn't as obvious as most think either.

The best teams in Kentucky generally can match up one vs. one against Tennessee.

Trinity has beat the best of Tennessee's big schools.

Bowling Green beat some of Kentucky's best bigger schools.

Belfry has proven they could match up with the best of the mid-size schools.

The difference between these two states is depth of teams. Tennessee genuinely have more of those "good" teams... and more of the higher echeclon teams.

In Kentucky you may have 8-10 high level "big" schools, and 3 or 4 "elite" level teams (Trinity and Male for example right now). In Tennessee you may have 13-15 high level schools and 6-7 elite teams.

In Kentucky you may have 9-10 high level small/mid-size schools (think of like a NewCath, LexCath, Murray), and 6 or 7 elite level small/mid-size schools (Belfry, Boyle, Central, DeSales, Mayfield, etc) whereas in Tennessee that number may be 14-15 high level and 9-10 elite level.

In all it's just a deeper level of competition and a little more parody.



West Virginia doesn't have a team usually on the level of a Trinity or a Male this year. Kentucky's good for a National Top 100 school or two at least every other year... West Virginia rarely will have that.

Cabell Midland could play with anyone else in Kentucky not named Trinity or Male, but would probably be like the #4 or #5 6A team and maybe #7 or #8 overall in Kentucky.

Kentucky also has the depth advantage... once you get outside of Class 3A in WV, which may have 8 or 9 solid teams, pickings get quite slim. Each smaller class will have a couple very good teams, but then it drops in drastic fashon.

I like MCMiner and his Mingo Central program is ascending very well.. but they are currently the #5 2A team in West Virginia and would probably be unranked in Kentucky 3A (around #12 or #13) and probably only #9 at best in Kentucky 2A.
