It’s Monday sports fans, so that means it’s time for your Belfry Breakdown brought to you by Thornhill Automotive.

Belfry Pirates offensive lineman Bo Wolford has made it official – he’s committed to continue his football career at Morehead State University. Wolford, standing 6-foot-3 and 297 pounds, had also drawn scholarship interest from schools including UPIKE, Georgetown, Ottawa College, and Defiance College.

Among his honors, Wolford was named the Kentucky Football Coaches Association Coach Philip Haywood Lineman of the Year, recognizing the state’s top lineman. Posting on Twitter, he said, “I am grateful to say that I am 100% committed! Thank you to all the coaches and staff that have impacted my life on this recruiting journey!”

The Pirates finished 12-2 last season, capturing the 2A District 8 title, the 2A Regional championship, and making it to the 2A semi-state round.

Summing up his announcement, Wolford said, “I am excited to be able to start a new chapter of my life at a place that feels like home!”

In boys basketball, Belfry dropped a close one Saturday night, 73-68 at Lewis County.

Each week Mountain Top Sports will begin highlighting some of the great things happening with Belfry Athletics. This new feature will be our “Belfry Breakdown” sponsored by our friends at Thornhill Automotive. You can also catch it on the airwaves of Mountain Top Sports on Monday mornings.

This week we start on the gridiron, where Belfry senior lineman Bo Wolford is bringing home some major hardware. Wolford was recently named the inaugural Coach Philip Haywood Lineman of the Year, awarded by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association to the top lineman in the entire state.

Wolford received the honor during a presentation at Belfry High School on Wednesday, December 17, with KFCA Executive Director Jeff Marksberry on hand for the ceremony. The senior standout is also drawing plenty of attention at the next level, with college offers from Georgetown, UPIKE, Ottawa College, and Defiance College.

On the hardwood, the Belfry boys basketball team rolled to an 84–46 win over Buckhorn on Saturday at the Mountain Schoolboy Classic. Meanwhile, the Lady Pirates battled tough competition at the Mike Bromagen Lady Cat Legend Classic, falling to Menifee County, Boyle County, and Mason County.
