We're over halfway through football season and with Belfry having an off week, I wanted to post this thread for discussion about their journey. This has been an interesting Belfry team by a lot of respects. While they have certainly shown the capability to run as usual, they have shown some modified sets and throw as much as they ever have with Varney at QB. Based on right now, what are your thoughts on where they stand in 3A? What would need to be done to take this team to the next level and potentially take Coach Haywood to state championship #9?

Belfry currently stands at 5-2, with two tight losses. One comes to 4A power Johnson Central, and another to 6A George Rogers Clark where Belfry led by two touchdowns in the second half. Their key win is over 3 time defending state champion Pikeville. Although a 2-5 team, Pikeville has played a brutal schedule and is expected to be in contention to win it all again in their class.

Looking at Belfry’s remaining regular season games I see them finishing the season at 8-2. Who do you speculate Belfry would have to play in the 1st two rounds of the playoffs? I would love to see Belfry and Ashland get back to playing each other on a yearly basis.
