[Hoot Gibson]

I can tell you from just the little bit of film that I’ve watched on your pirates that Ashland has played four teams that are better that Belfry this year. Wheelersburg, Ironton, GW and Spring Valley would all beat the Pirates this year. Russell, in my opinion, would’ve also gave Belfry all they wanted. Belfry has played only one good team (Johnson Central) in almost two months and was destroyed on their home field, so spare is with the upcoming chest pounding.

Although I am not totally sold on Pikeville, CalPreps has them rated #10 in all classes in the state of Kentucky (i.e., above Ashland). I think that Pikeville definitely qualifies as a good team - at least as good as the two little schools on your list of good teams - and Belfry lost a very close game to the Panthers while playing without their best running back.
