Somerset on the way to being one of the nicest. They do have some things that really need attention. 

The bleachers really need an overhaul. The visiting side I have always thought needed an expansion in width and maybe a smaller coaches box on that side would be as useful as anything to cut down on traffic in the press box.

The home side is massive but I’m not convinced it’s to code. They should update that as well as Russell County did.

Once the new field house is completed and if they could raise the money for the bleachers to be redone, it would give Corbin a run for their money. I’ll be ever interested to see the final product. I’m unsure if the bleachers are even being considered so a Somerset insider could give that info.

Until that’s done, Corbin is the standard. Someone said Hazard. That’s another one that should get high praise. I can’t say much about Belfry as I’ve only been past the stadium and not watched a game there. I hope the new coaching staff can keep that program trending in the direction it has under Coach Haywood.

If you’re wanting to attend a game at Belfry I’d recommend attending the Pike County Bowl or the Pikeville game. And although Coach Haywood will be missed tremendously and he won’t be replaced, to say the coaching staff is new is incorrect. Every coach on the staff has been there a while including a few who were on the staff in 2004 when Belfry won its first state title including the head coach
