Something to think about:

when comparing Belfry and Bell County consider this:

Bell County has lost twice... two blowouts... one to a Knoxville Central team and the other to Henry Clay.

Belfry has lost one game, that was a blowout to Henry Clay.

The Devils beat both teams by a similar ammount, both were within the first weeks of the season.

Bell County's wins have been over a first year program in LCC (2-4), a way down Corbin (1-5), and their lone quality win vs. 2A Leslie County (5-1).

Belfry has blownout a pair of lowly teams in East Ridge (1-3) and Magoffin County (1-5), beat a middle of the road 3A Lawrence County (2-3) team and a quality ranked 1A Pikeville (4-2) team in a blowout.

Belfry has not lost to a mountain team since 2002 when they fell to eventual state champion Breathitt in the Regional finals 19-0,, in a game that was 6-0 until the final two minutes.

Since the 2002 season Belfry is a remarkable 33-2 against moutain teams..... both losees were in 2002 when they were defeated by Lawrence County and Breathitt. Included in these 33 victories are wins agianst perennial powerhouses Lawrence County, Breathitt County, Middlesboro, Prestonsburg, and Pikeville.

The past two seasons Belfry has finished the year as the #1 team in the mountain top 10.

Just something for you all to think about as the season wears on and we wonder who the best team in the mountains is....
