@GC-Dragons Considering I didn’t compare a single score I’m not sure what you’re referring to. I do agree it’s all about individual matchups though, which is why I said the Rock would be a problem for all of those teams who didn’t see an efficient passing attack all year. Belfry speaks for itself and everyone can downplay the Pirates but I’m not getting behind it, they were a big, physical, well coached team who plays the same way as Bell County and everyone in 3A D2.

@Big East Zebra I don’t believe any of the 3 teams in Hart’s district could hold a torch to Belfry or Rockcastle this year, however I do agree it should be a great game in ol Munfordville. Love the fact that both teams play the same brand of football and this is definitely the most favorable matchup for the Raiders of the other 3 team’s remaining in 3A.

Wow, that is a pretty bold statement, that I will say I agree to disagree with you on that.

I'll take the bait, this Belfry team is not one that we are accustomed to seeing. Belfry lost to a Single A power in Pikeville, while Hart beat a Single A power this year in Campbellsville. I think Glasgow and Franklin-Simpson and Union County, were just as good as Rockcastle County. Finally Bell's opponent's record is 77-72, while Hart's opponent's is 80-61. Bottom line, that's comparing Apple's to Orange's. One thing is for sure, this should be a great game in Munfordville, Friday Night!

I Echo everything you said. Belfry isn’t the Belfry of old. If we look at RPI, Hart has wins over 3A #5 Union, #6 FS, #8 Glasgow (twice) and 1A #2 Campbellsville and 2A #5 Green County. 
 

In all honesty their SOS isn’t even comparable to Bell. With that being said I think it will be a great game with Hart having an edge at home.

One thing I’ve learned through the years is that mountain teams seem to think that no one else in KY plays as tough of football as they do. Mountains vs Everybody. Bell is good and Thomas is phenomenal. Hart is good and has a stable of backs.

I simply said I liked Harts SOS better and gave them the edge. The numbers back me up. Here’s to a great game in Munfordville Friday night.
