Sorry if I offended anyone by starting this thread but Bell County returned almost everyone on a team that took Boyle County to the wire last year. Boyle County lost a lot more than Bell. Davenport brothers, Maden?, Hylton, and a lot of other very talented players are on that team. I didn't make this thread claiming Bell County was the best team to ever step on the field because anyone can lose on a given night but they're the team to beat in 4a. How does Lone Oak and some of the other teams out west look this year?

In the skilled dept., yes Boyle lost a lot more than Bell. However the Rebels lost only 3 or 4 regulars on the defensive side. Defense wins championships and Boyle will be heard from before the season is over. Bell should be the favorites but far from the prohibitive favorites your thread started out making them. :Thumbs:
