I've been scratching my head all weekend about this one. Anyone know any more details?

As for the game, it was a typical first round game, and I mean that as no disrespect to the Lions of Garrard. Belfry had far superior speed in this one, and if all else were equal, that alone would have made a huge difference in the outcome. Garrard was big up front, and they were well coached and played hard, but in the end they were just outmatched on talent. The Lions had some success moving the ball, but were foiled by turnovers and they gave Belfry a short field a few times which was exactly what they didn't want to do. It was good football weather, as a chill was in the air, and when the playoffs start, it just feels different. I really love November in Kentucky.

Injuries certainly have been a tough obstacle for the Pirates. That's especially true at the linebacker and fullback positions. Seems like a revolving door at those two spots and both are critical to Belfry's style of play. Mounts, Cook, Lowe and Fields have all spent time on the DL at linebacker for the Pirates, and now they have a couple of them back, but they are still missing a couple. No word on who will be healthy for this Friday. Belfry has used more fullbacks this year than most teams have used in their entire backfield. If I remember correctly, it was Hensley, Mounts, Coleman, Blankenship, Webb and Warren. Maybe another one or two, lol. If it is a knee as it appeared, then I think this is the 3rd time Mounts has injured that knee over his first two seasons. That has to be concerning to the young man and his family.

Only 10 lower seed wins out of 96 games seems low considering half of those games were 2 seeds playing 3 seeds. Any idea how many lower seeds typically win in the first round?

You’re gonna have to do better DMC we expect excellence from you.

There was at least 2 turnovers, Western Hills threw 2 interceptions in the last few minutes.

The stats must be mind boggling for this game

And....?

Is this broadcast online?

That makes sense.

That 2011 game was a classic. Garrard had a really nice team and had the Pirates on the ropes. Garrard was athletic and balanced and was as good as anyone we played that season. The Golden Lions jumped out to a two touchdown lead. It took a while but Belfry was a veteran team and eventually took a lead, 28-21. Garrard was full of fight, though and the Lions had a gritty drive late and scored to make it 28-27. Belfry stopped the 2 point conversion attempt, and then made a late game interception to finally seal it. All in all, it was one of the best road game atmospheres I've been a part of as a Belfry fan. I hope Belfry can be as good a host to the Lions as they were to us back in 2011.

Bobby Norman is excellent as play by play man. Steve Mickey coached at Belfry for 35 years and brings a great perspective.
