I've seen Middlesboro play this year. We've known they had talent. Bell lost 16 seniors and have young kids. They aren't the talent they have been and all teams have years like that. I be read posts saying Dudley, Dudley. This has nothing to do with Dudley. He left when talent declined. Coach Mills and this staff has been both years he has been here to the Louisville Central game just as they should have. Dudley did an excellent job but even he didn't win it all every year. Last year Bell played Louisville Central down to the wire Closer than anyone in the state and then won it all. That shows how good bell was last year. This year we have 6 seniors and all underclassmen with that. Weve faced injuries of starters and no one plans for that. Middlesboro won this one and the past 15 Bell won. That's celebration time for them and rightly so. But, it hasn't happened often and will continue to be rare. Coach Mills knows his stuff. You play the talent you have and this is what we have barring injuries. These coaches will work to do what they have to do to adjust and get the most out of our kids. He has the respect of his players and parents and that says a lot. Just wait. Bell will be fine. They will be back.

Bell did play Central a close game. With the exception of the 78-20 drubbing of Casey Co so did everyone else that faced them in the playoffs. Not just Bell.

Wayne Co 21-18
