I think that it is basketball season and we should worry about it next year.

I think it is an honor to play Ashland in Ashland! They are a great program that will only make Belfry better later when they play Russell! Is this only a one year deal?

I was hoping we would pick up Ashland again and renew our rivalry with the Tomcats.

Well considering the end to the Ironton/Ashland game last season it should be roughly a good fix. It is sad to hear that it is only a one year deal as of now. Along with it being a patch for Ironton, it will also be a reasonable measure stick against Russell since Ashland will be playing both.
You lose the hard nosed running the ball you had with Ironton, but you gain a more balanced attack based on speed rather than power. It will be interesting to see how Ashland starts the season next year. They are losing most of the stars off the team while retaining most of the others. Fields Davis should be the heart of the defense again next season as well as an upgrade in the backfield at FB behind an offensive line with a year of experience under their belt.

Can someone give me detail about what Belfry will have next season?
I think roughly the team they had this season but with more experience. Belfry was very young this season.

I was wondering this myself. Both teams are picking up this game because it was a rivalry in the past and because both teams won't be able to schedule ironton next season.
Ashland played them on Sept. 23 (week 6 after a bye)
Belfry played them on Oct. 21 (week 10 after a bye)
Ashland almost always plays all of their non-district game before playing ANY district games so that would lean me to think the game would be played around the 5th game of the season for each team (week 6 after a bye).
On the other hand, both Ashland AND Belfry were open on Aug. 26 (week 2) this past season and this could very well be where the game would be placed.
Any of the Belfry faithful out there have info on when the game will be played?

Ashland usually plays Ironton midway through the season in late September, and Belfry usually plays them in their last regular season game, so I'm guessing the game between Belfry and Ashland will be played either in mid-season or at the end. Probably towards mid-season because Ashland is usually plays Boyd County in their last regular season game.
