Most teams are ready for their opponents in the State Semi's... it wasn't like last year was the first time Belfry and Bretahitt had met. Belfry hasn't changed their offense and defense since the previous meetings. Breathitt didn't have the depth, the strength, the personnell, the mental toughness, and the defense to stop Belfry last season. If they can improve all those things drastically then they have a chance.

Belfry was a good team, and Breathitt had a good record, but really were outmatched physically by most of their opponants. Breathitt did make a strategic error as far as the kind of defense they played, but it really would not have mattered in the final outcome IMO. Breathitt overachieved last season, but they have the athletes and size throughout their starting line-up to compete with anyone in 3A. It was a great win for Belfry last season, but they did what they should have done against an outmached Bobcat team. This year, there are no excuses for not competing.
