Although I agree with much of what you said. And before I reply, know that I am a Belfry fan, but I follow WV football a little closer than most guys on here because I work over in WV. I would disagree with a few things. While Trinity would win the majority, Martinsburg is on the level of Kentucky’s normal top 3. I watched them both in person. For an example - Martinsburg was better than any team in Kentucky last year. They would have been your 6A Champ last year in KY. Trinity is going to be better 7 years out of 10, but Martinsburg is definitely on that competitive level.

Bluefield has one of the best teams they have ever had this year. The talent they have coming back is unreal for a school that size. Believe they have 6 legit D1 players this year. I believe they would definitely be the favorite in KY 3A if they were in Kentucky. I don’t think Belfry could handle them this year.

WV 2A is like this, this year imo -1. Bluefield———-2. Fairmont Sr.——————————————————————————-3.Everone else

I’m gonna disagree with that right from the onset. No way, shape, form or fashion is Martinsburg year in , year out, on par with Trinity. I don’t care how closely you follow it. What Gauntlet does Martinsbirg have to run to dominate WVa football? Jefferson co is a war most years. ...let alone the occasional challenger out in the state. Now....I used to live there. I Watched it weekly. So I know first hand the talent that pours out of the Louisville Metro area. Martinsburg has roughly 17,000 in population. The county has 117,000. Jefferson metro has 1.2 million, with Louisville proper having well over 600,000. Not a slap at Martinsburg at all. Martinsburg Has a wonderful program. But their not on par with the Trinity, St X and others. Simply put, the demographics don’t support that.

if Bluefield has 6 legitimate D1 prospects....not only should they dominate 3A ....but I’m guessing they should be able to play with any 5A school in KY. And maybe most of the 6A programs. Too have that kind of talent at a smaller school is an oddity to say the least. But how often does that happen? I’m guessing not very often. Just like at Belfry. It’s not very often we have 6 D1 caliber kids. But when we did we won 4 straight titles. Boyle Co did that several years ago. A freakish run of D1 talent. Louisville Central has experienced it....but again in Louisville Metro I’m not saying that some years....WVA’s best HS team couldn’t play or even beat KY’s best. But it’s not gonna happen 30% of the time. HS Football....real HS football in KY....is year in year heads and tails better than WVA.
