I think it’s fair to say there’s no love loss between either program. Historically this game has been a slobberknocker.  Despite the lopsided nature of the rivalry ...largely due to the last 20 years....Belfry has always looked a LC as a worthy opponent....and will continue to do so.  These two should play again on Pond Creek in a few weeks.  LC will have an opportunity to reassess.  Belfry will have additional time to improve.  This is not a vintage Belfry team.  However....it may not take a vintage level team to advance deep into 3A this season.  I think we’re all seeing that.  Hope both teams stay injury free.    It will be interesting to see just how far these Pirates can advance.  In 2007.. Belfry rolled into Louisville to face a 5 loss Central team.  Belfry was undefeated if I’m not mistaken.  A closer examination of Central’s schedule revealed losses to Trinity, St X, etc etc.  For us Belfry fans, we all know the outcome.  My question is this..Could Belfry be the first team in KHSAA history to win a football championship with a 6 loss regular season?  Beating JC will be a tall effort.  So I’m speculating.  That game will also be super emotional for both teams with Jim being a Belfry boy.    By no means saying we will.....but......Belfry could push Central off that line as a state champion with losses of 5 or more ?

The 2010 Louisville Central team went 4-6 in the regular season and won the title.
