For the poster who mentioned Central and Belry dominance over 3A

Central has 5 titles in 6 appearances since 2007.

Belfry has 4 titles in 8 appearances since 2003, but 2 of those came in 2A.

Since 2007 when Cental and Belfry joined 3A there has only been 1 year (2009) that a team named Central or Belfry was not crowned champion.

Central and Belfry have met for the 3A title 5 times (07, 10, 11, 12, 13) Central leads the series 4-1 with only one not being competitive.

Central beat Breathitt Co in 2008 and Belfry beat Wayne in 2013. The only times these two teams did not meet for 3A.

This past Friday Lexington Catholic eliminated Central from making it back to the dance and continuing the above trend in a stellar ballgame.


Now for this game :

On Black Friday Corbin rolls into CAM stadium looking to stop Belfry from playing in their 6th straight title game and a chance at a 3 peat. In 2014 Corbin tried and failed to derail Central. Do they have a better chance against Belfry?

Is Corbin better than last season or are they reaping the benefits of joining the overall weaker east? Honest answer from someone who knows.

Belfry has had some great teams over the past few years but I feel like this Belfry Defense is the best all around defense we have seen during this great run. Especially the ball hawking secondary which has come into its own with a monster Dline that allow them to rush only three most of the time.

I still need to see more on Corbin but I currently feel like this game will be a bit similar to last years Russel semi final, except Corbin will put some points on the board.

You mean me? I can't tell if you're debating me, or giving good details (which I appreciate) to backup what I posted. Yes, Belfry and Central are very good. I mentioned Belfry and Central because someone made it sound as if Belfry had no competition the past decade or so. And also, yes, I was at the Louisville Central vs Lexington Catholic game. We watched from the Central side. I recorded most of the game. Catholic is a very good squad. I think Elizabethtown may be the team of destiny this year...until/if they meet Belfry.

To answer your question on Corbin. NO, Corbin is not better than they were in 2014. They will be better than that when their young freshman hit their junior year. This year they aren't as good as they were last year, IMO, not at all. Corbin doesn't impress me with their passing game, or their running game. They don't have much speed at all, and although their QB is a large and very sturdy kid, just don't think they can put up any points on Belfry unless it's a blown coverage, someone falls down, something.

Sorry I do not mean to double post. I was wanting to reply to the above quote. Could't delete my other comment. Apologies.
