Belfry Is Getting Healthy

[Watusi]

Belfry is starting to get healthy but still have some concerns.

 

QB Noah Corbett is doubtful for this week. This means Keaton Taylor will be behind center again, where he does a fine job, but it would be nice to get their entire backfield in there and work on timing and execution.

 

K Austin Woolum is still out and probably will be for another week or two. Kudos to Ashton Leedy and Blake Mendoza who came over from the soccer team to pitch in with XP and kickoffs respectively. Both of them have done a great job and their contribution is huge.

 

RB/DB Cameron Catron and RB/DB Xondre Willis both suited up last week and RB/S Kaleb Edwards is expected to be back this week. This trio makes a difference on both sides of the ball and helps with depth issues at several positions.

 

TE/DT Cole Bentley came back last week and TE/DT RayQuan Horton is expected to be back this week.

 

I'm sure some of these guys will be a little rusty, but is sure is good as a Pirate fan to see them getting back in the action. If the Pirates are fortunate enough to win the next two, it is possible they will be back at full strength for the semi-finals. :banana:

Just curious- were all these guys out vs Johnson Central?

No. The QB actually went down during this game and there were several others on the list that played, some more limited than others. Coming in to their game with JC, on another site, Belfry faithful stated that their offense was intact and their defense was weakened.

Actually most of them were in street clothes.

 

Horton, Bentley, Edwards, Catron and Woolum did not play that game.

 

Corbett got hurt in the 2nd quarter and has been out ever since.

 

Willis dressed and played, but was not 100%

[Watusi]

Edwards was starting S, backup RB

Catron was starting RB, starting S

Woolum was K, starting WR, backup S

Corbett was starting QB, backup CB

Willis is starting RB, starting CB

Horton was starting DL, #2 TE

Bentley was starting DL, starting TE

 

Taylor is a jack of all trades on offense and starts at CB

 

There has been a lot of shifting going on with guys playing in unfamiliar positions. Several young guys have had to fill in, which gave them very meaningful minutes and will pay big dividends down the road.
