Johnson Central's "body of work" consisted of 15 wins and no losses against a slightly stronger schedule (according to CalPreps) than Belfry faced and the same average yards per carry (8.7) as Belfry. In addition, JC's passing game produced three times as many yards and three times the number touchdown passes as Belfry's offense did.

I can see where one might take issue with the claim that Johnson Central's offensive line was "hands down" better than Belfry's this season, but I don't see any objective evidence that Belfry's offensive line had a better "body of work" than Johnson Central's line did this season. Not only that, Johnson Central started only one senior on its offensive line this season, so my guess is that the new starters probably improved more during the season than more experienced players would have.

As good as Johnson Central's line was this season, it should be much better next year with the both guards, both tackles, and defensive end all returning for at least one more season.

As for the 2016 season, Johnson Central's offense outgained Belfry while facing one of the best, if not the best, defensive lines in the history of eastern Kentucky high school football.

Ok, you win! I'm not going to go on and on with you about this. You got your opinion and I got mine. And just so you know, Belfry had only two seniors this year so they should be be pretty good next year themselves. We don't pass, so really can't compare those stats with you, although we could have if Coach Heywood allowed us to. About everytime we did through the ball if was for a TD. But who needs to pass when you have a line that blocked for three 1,000 yard rushers. Good luck to you guys.
