Besides May who was #2? Charlie Dotson was the best defensive player I saw East of I-75, he was IMO, and in alot of Belfry fans' opinion the second ebst player the Pirates had last season. Also Colbey Fugate isn't no small task to replace, I personally didnt see anyone else aside from Channing Fugate on the same level as Colbey.

Dotson is very good and May may have been the best overall player but on defense Hickman was "The Man" IMO. His speed and toughness on the defense line created alot of havoc and opened up alot of gaps for others to make plays. I think he may be the most sorely missed.

You're right about replacing fugate. But he was far from the best player on Breathitt County's team last year. That designation would go to the younger Fugate as a RB and LB. Also I think they return all of their WRs and most of their line.

I still don't think they will be better than Belfry but I think they will be closer. IMO the score in that playoff game was a little misleading. And I don't mean to take anything away from Belfry by saying that.
