A great past rivalry but over the last few years both teams really went down. predictions??

[Hound05]

How much better has M’boro got?

[Craze JACKET man]

Going to be one sided, Bell by 24 or more.

[Gitback Coach]

This one will likely get ugly...hopefully the Jackets can keep things respectable for a half or so.

[Sportsfanatic2015]

Bell by 30 +. Dudley will not let up.

A few years ago, Bell went 10-3. They followed that with 4-8 and 7-5. Hilton May have restored some nostalgic pride but record wise, they have in fact gotten worse.

[Poseidon]

Bell 10+

Running clock first half

Middlesboro appears to still be in bad shape in football while Bell is going to take off this year. It won’t be close.

Define "take off?" Will they be a playoff force?

The last time they made it past the 2nd round was 2015. :Thumbs:

My prediction this season is that Bell will make it to the regional finals and win 10 games. Corbin is awfully good. But my hope is the game in the playoffs with them will be a toss up.

[walterwhite]

Bell by as many as Dud wants, and that will be a bunch!

[Axel Foley]

I will take Bell Co. 42-7.

[Texans_99]

Bell County - 49
Middlesboro - 7

[Westside]

I'll take Bell County in a beatdown.

[BigDawgPrez]

Middlesboro-22
Bell Co.-21

GO JACKETS

[BoyleCo]

Some confuse " Bell is back" and weak schedule, while Bell may be a tad better it will be nothing to the tradition of this program in the past. The schedule alone they can go 8-2, that doesn't translate into Bell is Back. Dudley while being a master has zero help on staff. No Greer, for Dudley to lean on.

[smoke1015]

The Dudley kool-aide...this one should definitely be a Bell win. I want to see what happens, week 4 with Bell against Whitley.

I believe we are another year away from being "back." But we wil br much improved. We have a great staff! Marple is a great assistant. Then you got guys like Napier and Harbin who are highly intelligent coaches who were dandy players as well. I think Greer was great here and great at Corbin now. But we have a great staff. The future looks bright!!!!

[E's Army]

Bell on the upswing. Middlesboro not so much.

[Homer1962]

Dudley is the best coach in the Bluegrass bar none
