Before you bag Belfry's year, remember the Pirates weren't playing an East Carter. And Prestonsburg is starting just as many first year varsity players as Belfry (maybe more).

In your place, I wouldn't offer Belfry a sympathetic pat on the back quite yet. The Pirates could easily end up in position to give it back to your Devils (with interest)...


:biggrin:

I'm not bagging Belfry's year. Facts are facts. Belfry lost alot of talent. It happens to every school. Even the best programs around. Russell has nothing to do with it but the same thing happened to them last year. Talent levels drop and after a great run the eventual drop off occurs. I'm not saying Belfry is a bad team. I don't think they are a state championship calibur team but they are a good team. Same for Prestonsburg and even Russell. None of the three will win a state title this year. And with the expectations that each of those schools have this might be a down year for all three by their own fans standards. That is the price of success. Most other schools would love to have the type of teams that the Pirates, Blackcats and Red Devils have.
