[Hoot Gibson]

Belfry and Johnson Central - and the gap between the two has not been large. During the Matney era, JC has a 7-6 record in the series between the schools. JC was horrible during the three seasons between Musick's last season and Matney's first season, so I would give a slight nod to Belfry. (If JC and Belfry played any games pre-Matney during the 2001-2003 period, then Belfry won them all.)

Belfry does hold a big edge in state titles, but JC was competing in a stronger class and was eliminated from the playoffs by some of Highlands' and Covington Catholic's best teams ever.
