Another thing that needs to be addressed is the subsequent decline in the quality of opponents in the Pike County Bowl, as well as the whole alternating schedule that the PCB uses. Had Belfry played Highlands, Male, Danville, Henry Clay, NewCath, etc like they usually have in the PCB this would all be overlooked. The fact is the PCB has brought in lackluster competition the past two years, and the enxt two teams are no better in Boyd County and Cov. Holy Cross.

Agreed. The outside competition for Belfry in the PCB just ain't what it used to be. Corbin last year = good. Louisville Holy Cross this year = not so good.

Belfry is a 3A powerhouse, they shouldn't be playing some slightly above-average 1A team. The people behind the PCB need to pony up the cash and bring in the big boys.

They also need to get away from the two-year, alternating contracts. They need to realize that what is a good matchup for Belfry may not be the same with Pikeville. With the two-year contracts, if you bring in someone on Pikeville's level for them the first year, then you get a mismatch with Belfry the next year. It just doesn't work.
