Tell us without BS what bell lost to graduation. (or anything)

There are two ways to view Bell County this year. One is with their name across their chest and their history. The other is what they look like as a blind resume.

One view would say Bell returns as much experience as any Bobcat team in many years with a Senior and Junior class full of battle hardened players who improved tremendously last year and was playing good ball in November when they pushed Central for 4 quarters. Last year was Bell's down year and by November they had grown into a quality team.

The other view is that Bell simply was a bad offensive team who never really proves themselves otherwise. They return a significant crop of players, but their numbers are historically down still and their depth still may not be there. No one emerged as a playmaker for Bell and there is no Robbins or Davenport you can count on to make the big play. Bell will be improved in 2014 but without the playmakers on the field they will continue to score enough points to beat the better teams they face.


I myself have to respect the Bell tradition of excellence and the way they played a very good Central team and expect them to be one f the better teams in 3A and the favorite in their district over an equally experienced Corbin team who was going in reverse come November last year.
