confirmed OJW.......... belfry has been in 3a enrollment every year except 2023 that has been played since going to 6 classes lol why lie?

I think the poster HSFootball was trying to devalue Belfry’s championship teams….which we all know is ludicrous.   That’s why I reminded him the facts.  I appreciate you actually looking it up.    While 3A seems to have been watered down as of late….there have been good quality teams over the l15 years in 3A.   Belfry, Corbin, Boyle, Cal, DeSales, Ashland, Paducah Tilghman, Lex Cath.    Just some Jealousy coming to the forefront

Is Pikeville’s enrollment increasing, how far are they from 2A?

By the recently released numbers, Pikeville has the 6th largest enrollment in Class A, so they won't be leaving any time soon.

As a Belfry fan….i don’t blame them for staying in 1A.  If they meet the standard….then they have every right to stay there.   The onus isn’t on them to move….the onus is for other programs to get better.   I know it may seem unfair because of their dominance….but it is what it is.  Legitimately a 1A team….playing 1A.

Pikeville’s four year average is 177.5. In Class 1A it goes up to 190.

Belfry’s four year average was 380.75. In Class 3A it goes from 315.5 to 420.75. They had a total of 531 students in 2022-23, down to 477 in 2023-24. They had 259 boys in 22-23, it dropped to 245 in 2023-24.

LC is going to feast on the district in  2025 and 2026.   Y’all got a lot of talent coming thru.   It will be interesting too see how they mature and develop.
