Pike County is by no means small, and when you through the entire western border of WV it gets bigger. Haywood has benefited mightily from kids crossing the border. I would go so far as to say that the majority of the better players in Belfry history are from WV, so lets not pretend that Haywood is doing it with kids born and raised in the Belfry school district.

Just sayin......

Matewan, wv is .5 square miles, population 480. Williamson, wv is a mile from BHS and also a small town. I was born and raised in the belfry area and these are the 2 closest towns to me. Its not like having a city full of great athletes to choose from. Its a very small community (like someone else said) with a river running through it. If he can do it here Coach Haywood could go anywhere and be competitive EVERY YEAR ...for 30 years.
