For sure, with out him Boyle would not be nowhere close to the team they are.

 

So glad we have him for another year! Reese Smith = 2019 Mr. Football!

There might be some bad news coming out of this one for Boyle County.

The Rebels are a little banged up, but I'm sure they'll get healed up and be ready to go next week.

I have no doubt that was the most physical game they have played this year.

Can’t that be said for a lot of teams with a great player?

That was a war and as high school goes, this was big boy football.

 

Kudos to my Pirates. Belfry's staff had them ready, and made some defensive changes this week that made a big difference. And the players gave it their all and left it all on the field. Can't ask them for more than that. The Pirates really dominated the game for the first half or 3 quarters but gave Boyle too many gifts and you can't do that with a great team.

 

Dixon was hobbled much earlier than his injury on the field. He wasn't 100% and even though he did a pretty good job covering Smith for the most part, he did not have the wheels to cover him 1 on 1 later on. But who does?

 

Belfry moved the ball very well on Boyle, better than I expected actually. They got their yards, but the fumbles were killer. They had a problem at times with the QB/FB exchange. Not sure if it was a case of Browning riding Coleman longer than normal, and pulling it out later than normal, or something else. I credit Boyle's defensive quickness for that.

 

Congrats to Boyle County. You guys are a solid team and you made the big plays you needed to make to advance. Very characteristic of Rebel teams I've seen in the past. Well coached, hard driven, fundamental football. Good luck moving forward.

 

All in all a great atmosphere and game between two big time programs and staffs. Players on both sides made some outstanding plays and the fans were entertained.

You are exactly right. Both crowds were awesome. It was an exciting game and a great atmosphere. I enjoyed my first experience at the CAM! It was certainly one of the better football atmospheres I've ever experienced and I've experienced a ton of them.

 

Prayers for Dixon. I hope the injury wasn't severe. That kid is a player. Him and Bentley were fantastic.

Very nice stadium that Belfry has. Came away very impressed. Everyone from Belfry should be proud to have that type of first class program in their hometown!

 

To the lady handing out free hot chocolate after the game, Thank You very much it hit the spot and for your nice comments about our football program. First Class all the way!

As usual when two really good football powerhouses collide, it comes down to turnovers and penalties. I was very proud of the Pirates and already looking forward to next year. Good luck to Boyle County and Im sure they left Pond Creek with a deep sigh and thankful to get out with a victory. Go Big Red

Great facility and fans. I wish we had arrived a little earlier so we could have seen the area under the sunlight. The dive home would have been brutal had the score gone the other way, which it easily could have. Big impact on the game was Boyles D line successful getting a lineman to interfere with the handoff. Hatter. was as close to the ball as the Belfry running back on several downs and contributed to 3 off the fumbles.

 

I think the second half adjustments were the difference in the game.

Your point about the defense is well taken. Another thing that has been somewhat overlooked is Will McDaniel's three fumble recoveries. Not only that, but Will a sophomore, made several key tackles as he has all year.

Really great win for Boyle County...Corbin patiently awaits.

 

I could not make it to the game, but everyone I have spoken with and every social media post is nothing but praise for the Belfry community, school, and football program. You have much to be proud and thankful for. Kudos!

Will's speed and nose for the football have made him a tackling machine this year. His ability to get sideline to sideline and make one on one open field tackles has saved more than one big gainer this year.
