I know that I have read just saying this isn't what Bell people usually say. Most Dudley fans were counting Casey as a win before the season started.

I think that goes to an underestimation of Coach Stonebraker. Dudley has proven so long. But STonebraker began as a head coach so early, he's got about 20 years in as a head coach, and coached at the college level. Stoney has moved to some teams where it was probably near impossible to win, 5A, and then going to 6A J-Town and having to try and beat Male, etc.. But both times Stoney coached Casey, we went to winning seasons. He did much the same at Garrard. So I think maybe fans didn't know we had a coach that may be a younger version of Hilton, on his way up. Also, not just that, coach Bryan Cross coaches our defense. This guy has coached in smaller Texas college teams, coached at Campbellsville University, Center, and won a title at Western Kentucky as a linebacker coach...Man that's some pretty good coaching on our staff. I don't think we grow as big as Bell county young men, lol. That mountain air, or water, something makes for some big strong dudes. But really I do think it was a combination of Casey losing a really good senior class, and maybe underestimating our coaching and returning players. Either way, it was still a good game, probably helped both teams to be honest.
