In any particular year, cases can be made for different schools of Eastern KY having -the- best team.

BUT as far as a true "Friday Night Lights" type program which will year-after-year field a highly-ranked team, there's now only ONE program which does so. That program is Belfry. They have accomplished coaches, a systematic offensive and defensive style, perennially draw top flight talent from an area much larger than its school district, have a devoted alumni following, and last but not least, strong private-sector corporate backing ($$ does indeed talk).

Johnson Central is on the road to where they may be considered likewise, but haven't done it long enough for their program to be seen as Belfry's equal. Bell Co. was there, I believe, but it's yet to be seen if the Bobcats get their mojo back after their longtime coach left, and the other Bobcats of Breathitt Co. are in the same boat.
