First off....congratulations to Pikeville.  Did what they needed to do to win the game.

Now for Belfry.  Look .....I love my Pirates.  Always will.  However....this season isn’t surprising. I predicted this past winter that Belfry was going to be severely challenged from an overall talent/ability standpoint.    THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PIRATES.  Stop asking ????  This is just the natural evolution of a program that has been decimated by the local economy  No jobs means  no families.  No families means no kids.  So instead of 70+ players....you barely have 35 or so.  Again.....many of us saw this coming.  It’s why the 2019 team and the run they  went on  will always be so special.  Somehow, that team and those kids stayed together.  A few had to move away....but must toughed  it out.          Haywood and Staff can still coach just as good as they always have.    Program is just suffering like the entire area is.  However....there is a a other group coming.  Some are in the building....some are on the field....some are on the way (middle school).  Again....if those families can figure out a way to stay intact and in the area for the next few years....You’ll see Belfry once again  be squarely in the mix.  Believe me....The King may have abdicated his throne...but he ain’t dead.  ???.

If they are on the team why are they not on the field? If they are in the building why are they not on the team?I’m confused on those remarks. Agree with you on the other parts. Still believe they need someone to coach the DB’s. Belfry has always had a weak pass defense.
