gchs_uk9 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 There are currently five teams in Class 3A that are undefeated: Adair County, Bardstown, Belfry, Casey County, and Corbin. Obviously only one, if that, could finish the year undefeated, but which will remain undefeated the longest? ADAIR COUNTY Sept. 23 - Kentucky Country Day Sept. 30 - at Edmonson County Oct. 14 - at Elizabethtown Oct. 21 - Hart County Oct. 28 - at Casey County BARDSTOWN Sept. 23 - at Henry County Sept. 30 - at Waggener Oct. 7 - Moore Oct. 14 - Central Oct. 21 - at Thomas Nelson Oct. 28 - at Allen County-Scottsville BELFRY Sept. 23 - at Knoxville Catholic (TN) Sept. 30 - Cabell Midland (WV) Oct. 7 - at Lawrence County Oct. 14 - Warrensville Heights (OH) Oct. 21 - Pike County Central Oct. 28 - at Johnson Central CASEY COUNTY Sept. 24 - vs. Ballard Memorial (@ Warren Central) Sept. 30 - Bell County Oct. 14 - at Jackson County Oct. 21 - Corbin Oct. 28 - Adair County CORBIN Sept. 23 - vs. Mayfield (@ Lindsey Wilson) Sept. 30 - Jackson County Oct. 14 - Bell County Oct. 21 - at Casey County Oct. 28 - at Knox Central
thehotsnakes Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 It's gotta be Belfry, right? And, on the flip side, I think it goes Corbin, Bardstown, Casey, Adair.
gchs_uk9 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 It's gotta be Belfry, right? Maybe, but Belfry also has the toughest schedule. Games at Knoxville Central and Johnson Central will be difficult, and the season-ender with Johnson Central has occasionally been a "throw off" game for one or both teams. Picking the team that lasts the longest also has to take on situations and scenarios.
WeagleWeagle Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Belfry is the dog. IF not belfry I agree with the order snakes lined out. Casey is impressive but play a tough post season when trying to advance. Adair has to get through a quality KCD, then win a district AT elizabethtown, then beat one of the scoring-est casey teams we have ever seen. Bardstown has a tank of a schedule left and could go down as soon as Waggener. Corbin is second alone and waiting for Belfry to slip
Purple88 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I picked Adair because I think Belfry has easily the toughest schedule with dynamite out-of-state teams. Call it a gut feel and their schedule isn't as challenging and think it's their year now for awhile.
thehotsnakes Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Maybe, but Belfry also has the toughest schedule. Games at Knoxville Central and Johnson Central will be difficult, and the season-ender with Johnson Central has occasionally been a "throw off" game for one or both teams. Picking the team that lasts the longest also has to take on situations and scenarios. See, that's the thing. I looked at the schedule and instantly thought "Geez, Belfry could easily lose this weekend. But, I mean, it feels wrong to pick that." I made my pick already, and I'm going with it. Belfry is my ride or die!
ATLCat Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Food for thought Belfry has never went 15-0 in school history. They went 14-0 in 2007 before an upset in the Finals. I would say the safest bet is Belfry does not go undefeated again
jayky Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Belfey gets beat at Johnson central maybe Friday
Watusi Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 If Corbin wins this week, then they should cruise through the rest of the regular season and the first 3 weeks of the playoffs. Belfry could lose 3 of their remaining 6 games, their schedule is that good. And they would still likely be the best 3A team in KY.
WhoYaWith Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Belfry JC may get them otherwise they go 15-0.
charlesw88 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 + 1 Watsui, is Knoxville Catholic considered the top team in Tennessee regardless of class? If so I would think that would be Belfry's biggest obstacle to an undefeated season. I think they have Johnson Central's number this year.

If so I would think that would be Belfry's biggest obstacle to an undefeated season. I think they have Johnson Central's number this year. I'm not Watusi, but I'll answer what I know: In the state AP poll, Knoxville Catholic is ranked #1 in Class 4A. On Calpreps, which combines all schools into one class, Knoxville Catholic is ranked #3 behind Brentwood Academy (AP #1 in Division II) and Oakland (#2 in Class 6A). I think by any measure, Knoxville Catholic is a top five team in the entire state of Kentucky.
