Let me save you the time and money. You’re gonna see a team that’s pretty athletic, not a ton of size. Very undisciplined and will have no identity.

The good, as always, Belfry is as good as place as any to watch a basketball game. Great lighting, great hot dogs, plenty of room and great seating. Parking is plentiful and plenty of places to grab fast food after.

They had some quality teams and matchups. Avon and Huntington are very athletic. Breathitt played a solid team. Pike Central played quality competition. You got a good sense of how the 15th stacks up against teams coaching and athletically between us coming and going the 3 days.

The bad, 15th region officials are average at best. Two games yesterday got way to physical.

The ugly. Breathitt looks uninspired and lost. Coach King passing has probably cost them a region title. Unfortunate for that community that has been through so much. Pike Central athletically challenged and looked terrible against Avon at times.

Belfry, good googlymoogly. I got to watch them at JC and at Paintsville then on DND a couple times. Athletes for the 15th, young, but play street ball. It’s basically a Mark Thompson team without transfers and they have gotten worse.
The coaching situation, it’s not uncommon for schools to not open a job. It happens more than most think and even when they do you know who is getting it in the 15th.
I was under the impression that Coach Hagy took it because no one else in the Belfry system wanted it, I was quickly informed by the Belfry parents that that was not the case and that both names I through out were not approached and when they approached the administration, was told to pound sand.

Folks it’s 2023, you cannot coach 2 high school sports and be successful in this day and age. Not at a high level.

Belfry is going to lose kids over that mess and there is more than 2-3 schools hoping those kids come their way.

Yawl need an administration change, January 1.

They need a change in both boys/girls but that’s not going to happen. The administration will not make a change and for Belfry fans they are tired of fighting for all sports to be competitive. If people knew the candidates that wanted the job over the years they would be mind blown. Their words not mine. It’s sad but the truth.
