I've never seen any of the Beechies cry when they are beating the crap out of the Mountain teams. Why should'nt we be happy to see some of the "priveleged" teams bite it? How many mountain fans just "LOVE" NCC or Beechwood???? Our kids were seniors at one time or another, too, when the northern KY teams beat them out. A lot of the time it is a very lopsided affair when they hook up, anyway. I'm sure they could care less when we go down in flames. These kids and programs feel like they have it all against them when they have to play the northern KY powers, so I'm sure that they are'nt buying up seats on the Northern Powers Pep Bus!!!!:worthy:

Here is my mindset:
1. People from Beechwood have more respect for mountain teams than you could ever begin to imagine.

2. The "other" site has gotten so out of control that there are a certain few who have been allowed to trash mountain football--without being called out on it (and when they are--they are bashed in return).

3. Personally--I hate the fact that there is NKY bias and/or Mountain bias on any of the websites that I look at. I know that I can bring a different perspecitve to the conversation (one of an actual coach at a solid program). When you have to deal with these teams--it isn't hard to have respect for them at all.

4. Personally (again)--I see this site as a chance to right the wrongs of that other mess (I am sure you can figure that out). There is nothing wrong with a little heated discussion from time to time--but there are a lot of times where that site forgets about the main purpose of high school athletics: KIDS. And your post again reminded me of the fact of why I had something to say about the direction of this post. You are correct--there have been mountain kids who had their seasons/careers ended at the hand of a NKY school. Just understand that we put a lot of work into those wins. And we never looked at it as "beating a mountain team". We look at it as beating a great football team or a great football program.

Again--I am not looking to make anyone mad--but I am willing to share things from a different perspective--especially when people try to understand that we are talking about KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. Not mountain kids or NKY kids.

Besides--I am really taking a liking to Belfrey. Scull and crossbones, the wishbone and Coach Haywood--that group could win at any school.
