People who don't live there simply do not know. The Mingo Co. school system is seriously PATHETIC! I know this first hand. Anyone with reason out there, please here my words. I know that Belfry gets a kid pretty much every year from Mingo Co. The fact is, they get many more who don't play sports. The Mingo Co. school system is pathetic.

Does Haywood go to ballgames on Fridays looking for talent? NO! If I was a parent who had a kid entering ANY grade and I lived in Mingo Co., I would make the sacrifice and drive my kid to Pike Co. People don't really understand how pathetic it is over there. I feel for them. The kids of WV deserve better.

I agree. I went to school in Mingo County for a year before transfering to a school in Ky. I did have a change of address though. But i didn't go to Belfry.
