theguru Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 What does Belfry need to do to improve in 2007? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXT Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 IMHO, Belfry will HAVE to throw the ball 15-20 times a game next year to compete for a state title. No break away back is the main reason. As always the D will be stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDDEVILMVP'06 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Belfry needs to find a offensive spark .... Sound football team , well coached but missing a spark .... Maybe it's CAM ,,, Move back to Vipperman and bring back the Red Army .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPapi Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 ^It's lack of breakaway speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewsky Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I agree with IPapi. Belfry will need to run basically the same offense, but be a little more aggressive with play action passes, especially one 1st down. The lack of home run speed in the running game will require Belfry to make more big plays out of the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKU_05 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Breakaway speed definately will be Belfry's Achilles' Heel as already stated. Belfry is going to put together a sound backfield and may very well have the best all around player in 3A in Dustin May. To ensure success the Pirate's defense will have to continue to play like it did last season. Big questions to me are: 1. First and Foremost, who will be the backfield? We know May and Lee will probably be in there in a wishbone..but who steps up as the other halfback? 2. Defensive Backfield- The only spot the Pirates are hit by graduation as they lose a pair of 2A's best DB's in Chapman and Epling, as well as Kohari. 3. The Development of Andrew Elkins and his targets- The kid really has potential to become an outstanding QB. He also returns basically every receiving option aside from Epling and Chapman who were HB's. I think that if this kid can really focus on bulking up and Belfry can establish a true SE to throw to they can easily run a Veer Option type of offense like West Virginia University. 4. Expectations of Winning- The Pirates are now two years removed from their state title and the swagger of being a chmapion isn't quite there like it used to be. I think Belfry is a legit top contender for the state title alongside Russell and Louisville Central, but they have to get that swagger back.

Brewsky Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Can anyone offer any word on how spring practice looked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Couldn't tell too much, as May and a few others were playing baseball and none of the incoming freshman played. Thomas Varney did look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewsky Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I agree with the great games comment. Belfry will now get to play 6 non-district games each year (compared to 4 last year) This year the have: Corbin Pikeville Shelby Valley Lawrence County West Jessamine Johnson Central Should be real nice from a fans perspective.

Brewsky Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Was there a spring scrimmage? Can't get over the lack of chatter coming from the Pirate fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watusi Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Is West Jessamine right? I was told it was East Carter, or West Carter, not sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewsky Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Oops. Well either of those teams would be a dissapointment compared to West Jessamine IMO. I would prefer to see Coach play outside of 3a if possible. Aren't the Carter schools in 3a next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
