As for this best in the county nonsense. Let Belfry and Pikeville play PC and Tug Valley and let SV play Holy Cross, Ashland, and Boyle and see if this thread is started then?

Is it nonsense for someone on here to say SV is the best in the county? Of course it is. But would it be nonsense to say they could be 2nd best this year? Not really...

I wouldn't lump Belfry and Pikeville in the same boat together, not at this point. After all, the Pirates have won their rivalry game by margins of 41 and 42 points the last two years. While the two schools may have similar football traditions, right now at this point they are not on the same level.

I think we all know what would happen if Belfry and SV played this year. Belfry's youth would keep it from being as bad as it has been the last couple years, but it still wouldn't be close. The Cantrall ratings predict around a 30 point win, which sounds right to me.

But what if Pikeville and SV played this year? I believe the game would be a lot closer than many in maroon would like to believe, and SV might even win. Cantrall currently would rate Pikeville as a 2 point favorite, which again sounds pretty accurate to me as well. But sadly, that is one matchup we will likely NEVER see...
