Belfry has a great team, but the talk about them being the best ever at Belfry and the best ever mountain team needs to stop for now! True they still have a great shot at winning their 4th state title in a row, but to go and get punched in the mouth like they did in Knoxville and then lay the ball on the ground 8 or 9 times makes it very hard to make a case for all time greatness. This kind of performance disqualifies them for that type of recognition IMO, but they are still a great team..... All time greatest teams don't fumble 9 times in a single game however!

You may have some legitimate points, but the so called "best team ever" in the mountains didn't play anyone near the caliber of Catholic. Belfry is one of the few teams to actually hunt for teams to play and challenge themselves. It would have been easy to schedule another team close by and have an easy win. The might Panthers of 87 could not have formed an all star team from their schedule and had as much talent as Catholic had. And don't tell me Henry Clay. They were very average. Beechwood during their prime might have been the best team they faced and this was almost 30 years ago. I love how people who have no relationship to the Belfry program claim they know who the best team is ever. Watch as much Pirate football as I have then I will give you a voice.
