I enjoyed the article on Dustin May in todays paper.

This is going to be an excellent ballgame.

 

There are a few keys on each side:

RUSSELL

1.The Devils defense will have to stop the big play. Their run defense

is excellent, especially to the outside. However it has been a little

suspect to the middle run late in the ballgame and if the Belfry QB

can throw down the field, they MUST prevent a long bomb (Note

below that Belfry shouldn't try a long pass, but if they do, Russell

has to stop it.).

2.The Devils need to keep from turning the ball over. Turnovers kept

Russell from having a chance to win the ballgame last year. They

can not expect to give up the ball and still have momentum and

scoring opportunities.

3. Russell has to spread the wealth in the rushing game. Josh Gross

was run into the ground last year because Clark and a host of other

"non-feature" backs were unable to get yards rushing. If they can

do this, they will keep legs fresh and keep Belfry's defense guessing

at who is going to run the football.

4. Russell has to be able to field punts and kick-offs. They had lots

of trouble with this last week at Newport, and with temps becoming

frigid again this week that may be a problem again.

 

BELFRY

1. Belfry has to play Belfry football. Even though the Russell defense

has been prone to giving up the big play (especially on the pass),

the Pirates need to move the ball on the ground, grind it out, and

eat up clock. If Belfry tries to throw in an extra pass here and there

to try and fool the Russell D, an unproven passing game may result

in a loss of down at best or a sack or pick at worst.

2. Belfry needs to stop the bootleg and deep pass play. If Russell

gets in a long yardage down, the bootleg is the bread and butter. By

converting on long yardage plays, Russell will gain momentum,

keep the Belfry defense on the field, rest their own defense, and

increase scoring opportunities.

3. Russell has the advantage in 3 departments. They have played

in more close games, they have probably played the tougher post

season, and the game will be played at Russell. Belfry must over-

come these obstacles.

 

Again, it should be a great game.

Russell 28

Belfry 13

 

Russell has won 21 straight home games

Belfry 13

I do believe this game will be a little bit closer than 2 td's.

As of right now, 72 votes for Belfry, 71 for Russell. :banana:

I believe it is 82 votes for Belfry.

 

 

But, that is still pretty close.

You're right. My 3am math needs an adjustment.

 

Throw out the homer votes for each team and it is probably very close with Russell leading.

3AM math. That sounds as bad now as it did in college. :creepy:

Bucks Fan are you new?

 

Yes, about 2 weeks!

If you go to http://www.setel.com and click on any article on that page it will take you to the appalachian news express website. Then just do a search for Belfry articles and anything they have ran should come up.

There was nothing in today's News Express. I hope Friday they will run something.

 

That paper is published on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.
