Bumping this to the top...

Should have some significant updates to it soon.

To the best of my ability and information on hand, I have filled in the gaps all the way back to 1945 for every Belfry player to make the All-State team. Just need to compile and put in a condensed form.


A few key observations from my research:
1. Rick Kestner was a stud! I always knew he played at UK and went to the NFL, but at the time he set a record for receiving TD's in the State of KY and was a two-time 1st Teamer. He finished 3rd in the Player of the Year voting for the entire State and was also selected to the All-Southern team which was equivalent to like an All-American Team back in the day.

2. Floyd Hatfield was also kind of a rock star. He was a year behind Kestner but was his QB and had his own great legacy. Never confirmed, but looks like he set the State Record at the time for most TD passes.

3. Mark Cook and Grayson Cook not only both had All-State 1st Team honors during their careers, they also were the first Father-Son duo to be named All-State in multiple seasons individually.

4. Belfry has surprisingly had a ton of PK's and P's to make All-State in some capacity.

5. Belfry has had four players to make an All-State in some capacity three straight years: Cole Bentley, Rayquan Horton, Derek Wellman, and Grayson Cook. Bentley and Horton have the distinction of being the only two to make it three straight years being listed on a Team specifically and not as an Honorable Mention.
