Congrats to both teams, I felt it would be ball handling of the skill of Boyle that would decide the game and 6 turnovers seems like I was right.

Congratulations to Bell County on a much deserved win. I was very impressed by your passing attack, it's very effective and efficient. I thought that the Boyle offense played their worst game of the year on the biggest stage to date. The defense played an awesome game by only giving up 10 points to a very potent Bobcat offense, and having to be on the field for what seemed like 30 minutes of the 48 minute game. Our boys had to be worn out staying on the field against a much bigger Bell Co. O-Line. Does anyone have any official times on time of possesion.

 

What more could you ask for with 6 turnovers and still a chance to win with 9 seconds left in the game. Great season by the Rebels and coaching staff, use this as motivation for next season.

 

Congratulations again to the Bobcats and I hope you guys finish the deal next week in the "Pizza Box". Good luck and I hope to see you next year in the Regional Finals.

I will definitely be puling for Bell County when Boyle County is not involved. While I haven't personally met anyone from the Bell County side I have "met" people from Bell County on here and I have enjoyed talking to each and every one of them. As was stated earlier, there were no crude comments from Bell County fans as we Boyle fans walked shell shocked and heart broken to our cars, and yes, that made it much easier to swallow and created even more respect for your program. I hope to see you guys again next year and beyond, but for now, for guys like Leonidas, brad_bchs, and trenches07, I hope you take care of business and bring home that title next week. Good luck Bobcats!!!!

 

PurplePride, I've enjoyed talking to you to, I really appreciate that. You rebel fans honestly were some of the classiest people I've ever come in contact with. I walked right by a large group of Rebel fans across the catwalk after the game and didnt hear one negative comment about the Bobcats either, thats hard to come by.I'll definately be pulling for the Rebels and Bobcats both next year, I just wish they could hook up in Louisville instead.

A clip is below the waist from behind, almost never seen anymore because it doesn't happen much. The block in the back call was an easy one to make and the ref did before the ball came out(i had a great view). The interference call was an easy call to make also. The fumble by Bell was just plainy a bad call, the kid took 3 or 4 steps. Overall great game!

A really nice read from the advocate-messenger

Does anyone have any official times on time of possesion.

Also from the advocate-messenger.

 

Boyle actually outgained Bell 315-295 yards despite running 24 less plays. The Rebels had the football just 16 minutes compared to 32 minutes for the Bobcats — a 2-to-1 difference in time of possession.

You were right, I was wrong. We were the ones who threw an interception every 5 passes, not you guys

 

Irony. I don't think anybody would have expected that.

 

And, I certainly doubt anyone outside of Bell County thought they'd be able to pass the ball that effectively.

 

To be honest, I wasn't aware Dudley Hilton knew the "forward pass" existed.

 

Hey Bell fans, when did the old ballcoach find out you could pass in football? :sssh:

 

Nice job Bell County...I picked the Bobcats in an upset, in a close, low-scoring game...but it didn't really play out the way I thought.

Nice work on those stats.

A clip is below the waist from behind' date=' almost never seen anymore because it doesn't happen much. The block in the back call was an easy one to make and the ref did before the ball came out(i had a great view). The interference call was an easy call to make also. The fumble by Bell was just plainy a bad call, the kid took 3 or 4 steps. Overall great game![/quote']

 

From where I was in the stands the kid never had possesion of the ball. He did take a couple of steps but he didn't have the ball in possesion he was still juggleing it. Great game.

Great game by both teams.

Great turn-around. Great season.

Congratulations to Coach French, his staff, and the

MIGHTY, MIGHTY REBELS

 

Good Luck Bell County.

To all Boyle County fans,

 

Your attitude is simply remarkable. I am very proud to see that even in loss that you guys can come on here and not bad mouth the teams or the officials, and give us credit in the win. We try to be hospitable on Log Mountain and for a lot of reasons I guess it is just not recoginized.

I hope that when the shoe is on the other foot that we can be as humble as you guys are, for I have truly have a newfound respect for your program and everything that surrounds it. From this point on if Bell county is not playing for the title I will be the first to say GO REBELS!!!!

 

Some may agree, some may not. When Boyle County first started their streak of 5 Titles, some of their fans were unbearable. However, it didn't take long before they became the most gracious, humble and respectful fans in the state.

 

If you beat them, they admit it. You are right in that they don't bad mouth the officials or find other reasons for losses. This is the kind of attitude that has helped them build, and then rebuild, a great football program.

 

Hats (not Hatz) off to the Rebels!:thumb:

I think that the Bell Co fans are the same way. We have lost several games by just a few points before also. You guys are top notched.

From where I was in the stands the kid never had possesion of the ball. He did take a couple of steps but he didn't have the ball in possesion he was still juggleing it. Great game.

 

That is what I saw. He took a few steps but never had possession
