Loss of Corey Coleman, Ivan Lee, Andrew Elkins, ect. Inexperience, Inexperience, & Inexperience.. And condsidering contenders like Breathitt Co. don't lose as much.. Belfry will be a contender by seasons end, but will it be enough to take it from contenders to champions? I wouldn't bet on it.

Oh ye of little faith... LOL.... If you know Coach Haywood any at all then you know that these young men will be well prepared for the upcoming season and will be placed in the positions to get the most from their abilities. Granted, their schedule this season is by far going to be tougher than anything they have played in the last few years but they do have some young talent that will step up and be playmakers for the Pirates.... They WILL be prepared and they will be tested..... I feel that they will be able to be a step above what some are giving them credit for.... I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!
