Belfry has always had around 60 players sometimes 70 plus for as long as I can remember before this year. When you only have around 35 that means there will be less fans bc less parents and grandparents to come watch the games. There are some fans who do not have any kids or relatives who play that come watch but not like there used to be. As far as the coaches mailing it in, that's not the case at all. They knew they were outmanned and would need help from Pikeville to have any chance of winning. Kind of like when Belfry was on their dominant run for about 8 years. I'm sure coach Mac didn't get all over his kids for not trying hard enough when they were getting running clocks put on them just about every year by Belfry. Those years Belfry just was the far superior team. Now this year it was Pikeville. If Pikeville doesn't just win 1a but steamrolls every team in it's path I will be utterly shocked. They are doggone good.
