Is harlan county supposed to be that much better this year. I keep hearing belfry will be just as good as last year, but granny bear thinks they will beat belfry. Im just curious what is supposed to be so different with the black bears this year that will make them that much better and close the gap that there was last year. Didnt belfry beat them like a red headed stepchild.

Belfry didn't beat the brakes off Harlan County last year per se... but the Pirates were extremely green under the gills at that point and won pulling away late on HCHS's home field in a playoff-esque environment.. Johnson Central was the team who really put in on the Bears.

Granny loves her Bears and has faith in them. I think deep down she knows how tall of a task Belfry will be at CAM Stadium, but you have to admire her confidence and faith.

She is also an adopted member of the Belfry fanbase,, even driving to Bourbon County to pull for the Pirates... so part of it is her just having fun talking smack with her friends on here. Kind of like the friendly banter you have at the office or with a friend who pulls for your rival. Belfry fans welcome Granny with open arms and enjoy the give and take with a ton of respect.
