One of the Belfry posters said that Breathitt would physically dominate Somerset, not that Belfry would. I agree with your assessment of the schedule, but you play what you got. Who would thought that Danville would fall off like they did, even though they seem to be regrouping.
Pre-season Somerset was and underdog in 3 or 4 of the first four games. When the coach resigned 11 days prior to the season many thought we would have a loosing season.
Jumpers like any team can be beaten if they don't work hard and focus each week, but these kids have been through a lot (two dad's passed away and coach resigned in the last 12 months) and I think they will come to work each day and practice the way they need to.
Good Luck Jumpers!!!

I agree with ya. I don't think other teams can really evaluate each other too good unless they have seen them in person or watched a bunch of tape. Schedules are funny. At Belfry, they played way too weak of a schedule the last two years for the type of teams they had. Of course, sometimes you get bound to a two year committment to some teams and it comes back to hurt you becasue teams happen to be weak the two years you play them. Kind of like you were talking about with Danville being down this year. This year Belfry loaded 4 good 5A teams on the schedule and was 2-2 aginast them. I would say we would both have to agree that it would be nice for Belfry to indeed travel to Somerset. It would mean we were both still playing and only 1 win away from Bowling Green. BTW, I have been to Somerset three times over the years, twice watching Pikeville, and in '07 when Belfry played down there and I had a good time all three games.
