IMO Corbin is 2 years away from being really really good. But their extra talented freshman class needs help from somewhere. Landing some transfer, or something... I don't know. I really can't judge Corbin's junior and sophomore class, but the freshman seemed destined for greatness. The thing is I have heard they were down in middle school this year. While you take Belfry who pumps out middle school championship after championship. Louisville Central you have no idea cause they have an entire city (or 3) to pump talent out of. They will ALWAYS be good. Catholic could be near the same way, but I hate how those guys seem to be able to just go to 3A or 4A at will, like Boyle. I still wish there was some system where guys like that are in here could really make the class system truly reflective of talent. Take Mayfield, 1A powerhouse is right on par with every 3A team, and better than all but the top tier 4A. Teams like McCreary Central (if you've even heard of them) have no business in 3A, despite their enrollment. Teams like McCreary Metcalfe Clinton, etc..They just get their brains beat in every night. A lot of that is probably administration that simply don't care as well. Ah, no way to be all liberal super fair guy I don't guess. I do think there could be SOME improving though.

The freshman class will have help. This years senior class is actually the weakest class in Corbin's system right now. The junior, sophomore, and freshmen classes are all pretty good. This 8th grade class is a lot like this years senior class was in 8th grade. Rumor has it that a lot of kids who didn't play last year are gonna come back out as freshmen next year. The 7th grade team was imho the runners up to the 7th grade state championship. They went to Pulaski county and played them within 2 points. Pulaski was not challenged by anyone the rest of the year. Barring something unforeseen Corbin and belfry will meet in the kymsfa d-2 playoffs next year. This has the makings of a GREAT rivalry. I agree belfry will most likely win Friday, it may not even be close. But I'll pull for my hounds no matter who they play. I know that just like Corbin the strength of belfry is in their junior class. but next year the Pirates come to Corbin which will even things out a bit. I look forward to coming to pond creek Friday, and no matter how it goes I'll be pulling for the winner of this game in bowling green next week. The more trophies we can bring back to the mountains the better. Good luck to both teams I pray there are no injuries and I know that it'll be a good clean hard hitting game.
