I agree CAM.... this kid has the potential to be one of the better option QB's to come through Belfry IMO if he can mature and progress and push himself in the offseason.... he already carries out beautiful playfakes and presents the best arm we have had at QB in recent years as well as the running threat. If he can bulk up and hit the camp circuits then he may be a special player.

My thoughts:

 

1. No reason left to talk about the unsportsmanlike conduct...it was there..those who say it didnt happen are turning a blind eye..but there is NO reason to continue to bring it up and take shots at a high school kid who will definately be reprimanded for his actions (or so I hope)

 

2. Gish is dead on... Belfry may have played the correct assignments on defense and got to the ballcarrier at the point of contact but if we don't shore up our tackling we are in for BIG trouble against Sheldon Clark, Russell, and Middlesboro.

 

3. I will be the first to say that I feel these two teams were just about equal which should also be cause for concern for Belfry.

 

4. Elkins earned even more respect for me in the fact that he hung in there time after time after time after getting rocked by Pikeville. The hits on him were completely legal and can be expected the rest of the year. His play fakes were beautiful and his pass to Epling definately solidifies this kids potential to be the missing link to our push trough the playoffs.

 

5. This game is a quality win for Belfry as Pikeville REALLY wanted this game BAD for pride sake and we walked into a snake's den and came away with a W. One of the things that I felt hindered us against Russell was the lack of close victories throughout last season... this game really showed our boys character and served as a wakeup call that alot of improvement needs to be done.

 

6. Pikeville is back..... Coach jackson has that team back where it needs to be and they will be a 1A contender next year (if not this year)

 

 

Correct...just want to point out that the unsportsmanlike conduct was minimal...and went both ways...those who didn't see it going both ways are blind...

OK..the post made by an actual player, on the field, giving credit to the opposing team and pretty much saying that players from both sides of the ball was out of hand is probably the best post on this entire thread. He didn't point fingers or make excuses for anything. Classy post G! Too bad some can't realize how good it is due to their inablility to be mature enough to admit it.

And you forgot your glasses :jump: Wern't you the one on top of the building across the street :sssh:

 

J/K...maybe....we do still have a sense of humor around here dont we?

 

For the record and in my own defense...I have not said anything about Pikeville not being one heck of a team. They are!!! And they played an awesome game!! and almost took the W! My posts have been about things I saw myself, and then having to defend myself from people acting like Im hearing and believing rumors they were not true :confused: LOL and I have replied to others who wittnessed things that I did or to whom Ive agreed with. I was there too. Right there, in the middle, not far from the field or the kids. I dont need anyone to tell me what I saw or heard. But it dont matter. Its over and we can look forward to next year! :banana:

You saw what you saw and I saw what I saw...2 different perspectives...

I will root for Belfry in a big way from here on out...this game will help both teams...

 

I had an idea a few years ago that would be awesome...

in the playoffs, regional championship...Pikeville and Belfry games...one game on Friday, one on Saturday...it would be huuuuuggggggee...:ylsuper:

Yes! I want the state semifinals to be one night in Pikeville and one night in Belfry! So everyone can be there! Get your people on it and I'll get my people on it and we can make it happen! How awesome would that be???

Sounds like a plan :thumb:

Way to go Pirates:flame: Our boys are going to have to work on their blocking, but still a well played game. I was really disappointed in the Panthers tonight. When McNamee was coach, you would never have seen the players act like they did tonight. Congrats Pirates, keep working hard.:dancingpa

Coach J has done an excellent job of getting the most from his players. I thought both teams played a little shakey but it was a good game. Any time two rivals play then their is gonna be some emotions get out of hand. Contgrats Belfry and good luck the rest of the way.
