Butler appears to be a curious case. In 2012 they went 6-5 and were led by a Sophomore QB Flener and a Sophomore WR Moore.... yet last year neither Flener or Moore were on the roster and they still went 7-4 (pretty good for a traditionally very weak program).
In Belfry's case it is hard not to look at their future with optimism. Belfry had 6 Freshman make major contributions this year (Horton, Hall, Bentley, Catron, Woolum, and Fletcher). Of those 6... in the championship game the two biggest plays made were by Hall and Woolum. Woolum's Field Goal was the only points scored and Hall's Interception sealed the game. In addition to that Horton was all over the field and wreaked havoc in both the Semi's and the Finals.

No knock on Belfry meant. I'm not a PT fan. I'm just stating what everyone will see soon. They always have loads of talent at skill positions. They always have big physical linemen. They always have a good kicking game they always have lack of discipline and that is where the problem lies. They now will have discipline and they will be a very tough out for anyone in any class. I hate that because we were getting very close to tying the overall record in our storied series.

I think mayfield takes tilghman again this year. The new coach will make them better, but they lose coleman, overstreet, and spivy-nunn. Not sure who else is a senior, but those 3 were the cream of the crop. They do have a pretty good qb coming back, but the well aint exactly dry in mayfield either, so they might be able to get one more win closer this year. Only problem is we will never know what the exact series record is as both sides claim its a different record. Ive actually seen 3 different claims on the series.

Middle school success doesn't necesarily transfer to high school success. There could be many factors to having a dominant MS team with age being one of them. If that's the case, and alot of times it is, then it becomes a non factor at the HS varsity level. Morgan Co and Rowan Co from 4-5 years ago both had teams in the state MS final 4. Have you heard from either since then?

I can agree MS success doesn't equal high school success, but how many of these really good middle school programs are being fed to the likes of Philip Haywood. That's a big thing to think about.

But they have a new coach, and theyre comming of back to back undefeted freshman teams. They have a back that ran for 1200 yards as a freshman last year, and this was with a bad line and everyone knew he was getting the ball. They have some good skill kids and a line that will average about 270. It may take awhile for them to adapt to the new system, but come playoff time they may surprise some people.Good post, but lets just sit back and continue to stay under the radar:devilflam

HSFOOTBALL Wrote:Bourbon will struggle to replace their quarterback, I look for the sophmore and junior returners to alternate a lot early until one of them stands out.
ML is the biggest lost, but they did get a transfer from Scott Co. who looked pretty good in the spring game.
They also lost their two biggest rcv. threats in highlander and johnson, and early on it looks like they are struggling to replace them.
Their bright spot is they do return Holman, probably the best player in 3A and maybe the 2nd best back in the state, and Hill, probably one of the best back up running backs in the state. With a very capable O-line.
Bourbon will make a run, but it probably won't be as impressive as last year.
Is that taking into consideration the rumors that Letton is now the Defensive Coordinator for Bourbon and may be bringing his son Sam Letton with him? :popcorn:

I can see belfry making it to the next 5 championship games. Belfry definitly has a great program, but if you think they will win the next 5 or 6 in a row you are delusional. 1 championship in however many years they have appeared in a row and now everyone talks like they are unstoppable. Nobody was saying this when they were losing to central all those year7 now noone thinks they will lose in 3a for the next 5 years cause they just won it this year for the first time in awhile. They may get there a few years in a row, but that dont mean they will win it. 3a is a pretty strong class in the next alignment, but the east may be the weakest side of a bracket in any class, so reality may set in fast when they meet the west. The additions of boyle and lex cath will definitly have a strong and battle tested representative from the west between those 2 central and tilghman and i think the west will take it in 4 of the next 6 years.

Belfry lost Johnson, Carr, and Warren. Those three will not easily be replaced. The two most obvious kids to step up at HB are coming off torn ACL and broken tibia respectfully. I can understand with having the Pirates near the top, but plenty of questions going into fall. Mature depth at RB is a concern IMO.

Monroe County is going to be very, very dangerous out West come November.
A team that was chock full of Sophomores last year and a coaching staff that over the past 5 or 6 years has shown the ability to maximize talent and peak at the right time.
If Letton is officially at Bourbon it is pretty clear that the Pre-Season Top 2 teams will be in the East.. but the West may very well have teams 3-9

Monroe will be like Bell County they were full of Sophmores and Freshmen that started last year as well as the injury bug that hit. Bell will be loaded.

Central and PT have talent running out of their ears. They can lose a few kids and the next year have talent to replace them to the point that you just forget who those kids were. Now PT has the coaching staff to go along with it. Central is just that, Central. They will be in the running as long as they are in 3a.

Well, Sam is a tight end so i'm not sure how that helps the QB situation...
Unless he's bringing Reese Ryan with him, then you gotta case.
