I'm not really worried about it i just their are alot of belfry fans say no one wants to play them so i offered they should schedule teams like ironton. i understans that folks get upset when ironton and belfry playing each other get mention.

i looked at there schedule just looks week to me.

are you kidding me "WEAK" lol thats funny now belfry is playing 5A schools who are very good and your still calling it weak i bet your school schedule is not that hard.but maybe next year coach haywood might schedule the steelers,you know to toughen out there schedule a little just for YOU!!!!!!!!!!hahairateSho

Weak is right i cant believe people would even compare belfrys 2009 schedule to the tigers schedule. when you can manage to beat the tigers more than once in 13 trys then give me a call. if belfry's 2009 schedule had the same teams as ironton they would be about 3-7 if they were lucky.its real football on this side of the river


i will give credit where it is due the 2009 schedule is a little better than the 08 schedule but still pretty week.

I think your point is well taken sir. Thanks for stopping by.

What you talking about ironton has won state titles against a lot harder team. winning a state title in ky is like winning a region in ohio.we just want to play to show our superiority. i never said the S word about your team.just they play alot of week teams.

back to the topic other than jonson central and whitley who else had a winnig record last year?

Letcher Central: 10-3, 5A State Quarterfinalist
Prestonsburg: 11-2, 2A State Quarterfinalist
Boyd County: 7-5, 4A 2nd Round
Pikeville: 7-6, 1A State Quarterfinalist
Sheldon Clark: 10-3, 3A State Quarterfinalist (two losses came to Belfry)
Ashland: 7-5, 5A 2nd Round
Johnson Central: 11-2, 5A State Quarterfinalist (losses came to Belfry and State Camp Highlands)
Whitley County: 12-2, 5A State Semi-Finals (losses came to 4A State Champ Bell County and 5A Champ Highlands)

EVERY non-district foe Belfry faces had a winning record and advanced at least to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Noone is disputing Ironton as a great program, and Belfry fans would LOVE to have them back on the schedule. When Ironton joined their new conference it was IRONTON, not Belfry, who opted out fo renewing the contract due to schedule difficulties. With that said it is clear you are not educated enough on Kentucky football outside of your immediate area to seriously engage in this debate.

I beg to differ it was ironton backed out,they will be out of the seoal after this year so maybe they can play again if belfry really wants to. i may not be totaly educated on all the ky teams but i know the first 5 teams you listed is not top notch opponents for a program of supposed elite status i also know how week the playoff season is over there so 2nd round and quarterfinalist doesn't mean much when just about every team makes the playoff. that sound a little educated to me and i can put the spin on it with stats if i wanted to look everything up on the khsa site. like i said to others win more than one ballgame against us before talking .

back to the topic after like i mention before the 09 schedule is better than 08,i wish your team good luck.

The only one talking smack and bringing Ironton vs. Belfry into the discussion is you. The reason the Belfry/IHS series came to a close was because Ironton joined a conference. I have no doubt Haywood would love to put Ironton back on the schedule. It's not that Ironton was ducking Belfry (even though coincidentally Ironton went through 2 of the roughest years of football in their school's history during the time these teams have had off while Belfry fielded two solid teams), it was mutually agreed to end the series do to scheduling difficulties.

Maybe you should start using khsaa for spin because once again your arguement fails with your criticism of the Top 5 on the list:

Letcher Central- Not only did they go 11-2 last year, but in 2007 they were a 5A State Quarter-Finalist as well going 11-2. 22-4 in Class 5A is pretty darn good.

Prestonsburg- The Blackcats are only a 2A school but they have been arguably one of the Top 5 2A programs on a consistent basis.

Noone in their right mind would deny there isn't better football in Ohio, but that's not what this is about. Belfry is trying to win a 3A State Title in KENTUCKY, not Ohio.

Ironton themselves have not been the picture of playing a brutal schedule in recent years. The Fighting Tigers used to take on all comers including teams like Dunbar (D.C.), yearly matchups with Columbus St. Desales, and random meetings with teams such as Beechwood (who was defeating Ironton when the lights went out and never got thechance again to officialy claim that road win). In place of these teams are now teams from Canada instead? hh: At least Belfry's schedule is getting harder, whereas Ironton's is getting weaker... I guess going 19-14 the past three seasons forces such changes.

I always pull for Ironton and truly hope that things are finally back on track. They are one of the proudest programs in the nation, not just Ohio. But, the holier than thou attitude needs to be tempered.

I will bet anything you want ironton was not the ones doing the ducking and you can take that to the bank,suggesting it was ironton is plain old silliness period.as far as two roughest seasons and the 19-14 record go the both were folling coaching changes lutz tripplett back to lutz and he has things back on track.

i hope belfry wins there championship

those teams didn't want anymore of ironton heres a little history lesson on the beechwood game our ad offered to put them up in a hotel and everything but they said no. we were getting ready to pound themand we were doing it and they knew it. and the game counted in ky as a win for beechwood but it did not count in ohio.check it out for your self.

no hollier than thou attitude but a 12 -1 record does exzude extreme confidence some just cant accept one programs dominance over another,your position is week and futile trying to say belfry is even close to ironton is nothing more than denial.


back to the topic for like the 5th time why wasn't breathitt central or bell on the 09 schedule?

I think i said the oppsoite that it was noone ducking anyone, that it was a mutual decision based on scheduling conflicts?

Exhibit A towards your attitude,, noone has even remotely said anything like this, especially me, in fact I have trumpeted Ironton's history.

those teams didn't want anymore of ironton

Refresh me on Ironton's record all-time vs. Columbus St. Desales? 2-9?

back to the topic for like the 5th time why wasn't breathitt central or bell on the 09 schedule?

Why would Belfry play Breathitt and Central? It is a foolish thought to play anyone in the regular season who you will probably see again in the playoffs. That's Football 101.

The Bell County part I can't answer.

You may as well said ironton was ducking belfry

I think 12-1 gives me the right to be boastful

Irotnons record is better against desales than belfry's against ironton you had to look on irontfootball.com a good while to find a team with a winning record against us no excuses desales was better them games. have you ever watched desales play? didn't think so did you check our record against belfry and other ky teams wile you were there? care to comment on that? didn't think so

thats a good excuse for not playing breathitt point taken.not to sure that is football 101 maybe dont want nothing to do with them because they are tough101.


good luck with the 2009 schedule you guys have a descent program for ky.

i say whitley will be harder than jc

[warriors#55]

the pirats will hafe to show what they got this year

[EKUAlum05]

Belfry will score points this year. The question will be if they will have the defense to stop the better teams on their schedule. Belfry's backfield will be one of the elite backfields in 3A IMO, but defensively the question marks in the Front 7 will ultimately decide the Pirate's fate.

[cuppett777]

yea they got the horses in the barn,like you said will need to get it done on the defense side

[Strikeout King]

Belfry will be awesome.....they always are!

[warriors#55]

They have a good back field, but if you got a good line you can stop them big horses IMO. They have NO defense and they don't throw the ball a lot.
