It’s hard to not go to Pikeville Sports Academy when you live that close to it.    Pikeville has took many from Belfry and other programs in the area.  But then again, can you blame the kids for transferring?  I can’t.  I’d go to Pikeville to if I lived in that area.  So I cant really put all the blame on Belfry’s coach.

I disagree.  You can say they all went to Pikeville but that’s not true.  They have left for JC and Martin to avoid playing for him

Isn't Belfry the newest high school that was built in Pike County? Big upgrade over the old high school gym, that place was so hot. May be a coaching issue. Honestly, I know they are all about football at Belfry but with all of the athletes there, they should be a powerhouse in all sports, but that's not the case. Always struck me as odd.

Belfry isn’t a large school by any means.
Google search has their enrollment 9-12 at 506. That’s about the size of Breathitt and Knott down my way. With those numbers you can be good some years but won’t have the number of athletes to be good in all sports consistently, certainly not in the “powerhouse” category.

it’s not an enrollment numbers issue.  The kids were there and left to avoid playing for the high school.
