Belfry v Pikeville Prediction and bets

The Prowler · 09-22-2006, 03:08 PM

And you will see.

Pikevilles D was good last year but a few alignment and assignment mistakes led to a belfry vitory. I dont think you will see that from the panthers this year.

Could you explain why you think Pikeville is a STATE power? I'm not being smart or anything, but other than the eastern ky teams that they constantly pound, what would give them the right to be called a state powerhouse?

groundandpound Wrote:Belfry will win this game because they are Belfry ! Pikeville football lives in the past ,it is not the same program that it once was,and is no longer a state power.Belfry is the here and now.Belfry is the new beast from the mountains!!!!!!!!!! As for Pikeville being able to stop the Belfry rushing attack,not a chance!!!! I am not a fan of either team,but I have much respect for both programs long traditions.With that said Belfry wins an ugly one......... 22 - 7

It sounds to me like some of the Belfry fans are living in the past because all Ive heard from them is about last years game and the last five years games so who is living in the past? This is 06 and it will be a dandy between the 2 football programs that put eastern KY football on the map.

With the exception of 03 and 04 the same argument could be made about Belfry.

That's true.. I'm not really a fan of either team so i'm not biased in this situation.. I was really asking why people thought that.

IMO. they use the term Powerhouse too loosely.. or maybe my def. of a powerhouse is different than other peoples..

Consistant top five team in Class A
over the past 20 years:
3 state championships
1 state runner up
14 regional championships
Powerhouse may be too strong of a word but 14 trips to the final four in the state in 20 years is pretty impressive.

Well put Fox. Since the early 90's other than 94, 99 and 2000, Pikeville has not been able match the NKY schools up front.

Thanx fox.. 14 regional championships is impressive.. and i'm not trying to belittle pikeville or anything, but i just thought that powerhouse is to big of a word for them, and belfry for that matter..

In my opinion a State powerhouse is a team that goes year in and year out with a winning record against the best opponents. A team that is state champ quality every year, and a team that can play with anyone else. The past couple years, belfry has shown signs of becoming a team like that.. And pikeville is starting to get back to where they were. But i don't think that a couple good seasons is enough to put someone in a powerhouse category. I think a team that can call themselves a true powerhouse is a team that has earned it by becoming one. That's just my opinion though..

And if I am right and they dont stop Belfry's run as I am sure they wont shut Belfry down, Ashland couldn't and I know Pikeville won't either, I will come back to this post of yours and see how you feel about it then.

Based on that I have to call Belfry a powerhouse.

^in a sense i guess you could, but thanx to a fairly weak district our opinions would differ. Belfry really shows how good they are usually against whoever they play in the PCB, and Ironton. And in the past couple years, they have showed their toughness with their playoff runs beating some excellent teams, and losing last year to an excellent Russel team. Like I said though Belfry is well on their way to becoming a Powerhouse football team.. If they keep up like they've been doing then in a couple years even I will call them a state powerhouse. but i just can't do it yet.. If they could get one of the big louisville teams to schedule them for a game, and beat them or even play with them, then it would ease my mind..

But everyone is different and i'm not saying i'm correct in this, but it's how i feel about the situation. And don't get me wrong Pikeville, and Belfry are both really good teams, i'm just hard to please..
