Belfry vs. Newport Central Catholic

If I were going to pick the winner of tonight's game I would probably go with NCC for a couple of reasons...1) Belfry generally starts slowly and gets MUCH better as the season goes on...My prediction may be different if this was week 10 rather than week 1... 2)If NCC is favored to win Class A this year, I would expect the #1 team from 1A to beat a team from 2A that is not considered to be the best team in 2A...That is not a cut at Belfry...They may end up being the best in 2A by the end of the year but the edge goes to NCC at this point in the season...

 

This will be a great test for both teams...No matter who wins, I would not write the other team off come playoff time...

 

As far as the atmosphere or homefield intimidation factor goes, I would think that Cam Field is nowhere near as tough a place to play as Vipperman was...Don't get me wrong, the Pirate fans are still as rabid as ever but at least they are no longer breathing down the necks of the visiting team like they were at Vipperman...Plus, NCC is not the type of program that is easily intimidated no matter where they play...

 

This game has the makings of a real slug fest!!! I'd like to see this game but I will be watching Belfry's next opponent Ashland host Raceland tonight...Good luck to both teams...

NICE POST!! :thumb:
