Thats why school like Pineville and Jellico don't compete for state championships. But in reference to Belfry, it's about grooming your talent from youth league and middle school into high school. The teams that compete year in and year out are the ones with great feeder programs and good coaches, it's simple as that. Fans and schools with coaches that don't understand that like to cry recruiting because their players see their peers playing in November then working in the weight room all winter and spring and they want to be a part of a winning tradition.

Bell County High School which is at Pineville did compete for state championships and Jellico would do the same if they had several players to transfer in every year from across the mountain.
