I have no idea if Belfry will go to 2a or stay in 3a but if they went to 2a they'd go into that diatrict with East Ridge, Shelby Valley, Pburg, Martin County and I'd say West Carter and Bath would move out. I know those schools would not want to have Belfry in their district

I think John can do a great job as long as his gets the support he needs and the athletes to play. I know Barnett quit before ladg season was over so he needs to make sure he gets him back out.

I heard Aiden approached DeRossett at school and told him he’s playing.  DeRossett got a few more players that didn’t play last year interested also.

He's pretty good at that, among other things. It's a good time to be a football fan in Magoffin County.

Doesn't Belfry drop back to 2A in the next realignment?

I haven’t heard that. That would be crazy.

I have been hearing from people in northeast Pike that the new Mingo Central HS has taken alot of students away from Belfry, which will likely put them below the 3A threshold and drop them back into Pburg's district at the next realignment, which I think is in 2024. If so, I think Derossett will feast.

Yeah….not sure about all of that.  The economy is certainly in the pits…which has prompted folks to leave.  I’ve not heard anything regarding the Mingo Central stuff. The population has been dwindling for years.   2022 is the last year for the current alignment.

That would suck for Prestonsburg if Belfry went back to 2A in that District.  Pburg wouldn't win a District title.  Will be an interesting re-alignment in 2023
