[BelfryPride]

I think the new staduim is wonderful a beautiful diamond in the mountains and cannot wait to see it in person. I was really attached to Vipperman stadium, it just felt so cozy, I loved being there. It had a certain mistique about it. It was almost impossible to get a win on that field.The beautiful mountains and the avid fans were right down on top of you, it would have felt rather intimidating to a visiting opponent.

Vipperman stadium will always hold the memories of the end of a 40 game win streak of three time State Champion Pikeville, the Mud Bowl with Breathitt Co., the rise of Tim Couch, the Regional Title that was stolen by Sheldon Clark, and best of all the birth place of Back to Back State Championships for its beloved Pirates in it last 2 years of existence. It was a fairytale ending for the Stadium, one that will be talked about for ages.

As time goes on, Belfry fans will grow more accustomed to their new Multi million dollar home. I am sure that these Pirates will have a great year and continue to build on the great foundation that is Belfry Football.

The Tradition Continues......
