Belfry. The Pirates always are among the most improved teams in the state between the season opening kick-off and the playoffs but losing to a 1A Pikeville team that squeaked by 1A opponents Paintsville and Raceland by a combined total of 7 points has to be disappointing. The loss to Alter was not unexpected but I did not expect the Pirates to get shutout.

I would have said Southwestern, but Southwestern never lives up to the preseason hype.

I can handle this because I know what potential Belfry has. However, I believe this to be a premature assumption that what has happened in the first four games is how the whole season will go. You have to take into consideration that Belfry has played the last two games without arguably the best player in the eastern part of the state.
