You have to wonder why McCreary continued to lenghthen the game by throwing on every down. The score would not have been nearly as bad if they had ran the ball.

I figured it would be this easy.

I know for a fact that Mccreary's game plan was to go all out with the passing game just to do something different and see what happens. They have been working on this game plan for about 4 weeks. The head coach said that this game plan would either work a little and allow them to to move the ball some or give bell the opportunity to score 100. The bottom line was, they had nothing to lose. I was at the game and McCreary's defense played much better in this game making bell use 7-10 plays to score for much of the 1st half instead of just 2 or 3 like in the first game but the offensive game plan gave Bell many more opportunities to score (which they most graciously took advantage of). I don't disagree with the game plan because it's the playoffs and you have to let it all go. getting beat 40-0 is not any better than getting beat 72-0 both ways your season is over so you might as well let it all hang out! The school system as well as the community is pleased with the football teams success this year and are supporting them with the hopes of a return trip to the playoffs in 08. I personally want to thank all of Bell Co for their hospitality on Log Mountain (they in no way tried to run the score up) Coach Hilton, the players and the fans were nothing short of a class act and the Raiders from McCreary Co had an awesome first ever playoff experience (it would have been much better if they could have been cinderella). We all in McCreary Co will be pulling for Bell to win it all because it is always nice to say that you were put out of the playoffs by the state champions. Until next year, good luck and God Bless!
