I don't think it was a questionable call by Coach Haywood. Belfry had the ball around the 20 yard line and had very limited success running the ball. The passing game to Chapman was the only play that had consistantly worked for the Pirates. Russell made an adjustment and got the interception. I believe Coach Haywood has probably forgotten more about football than you or I will ever know. His adjustments at the half kept the game from becoming a blowout.

Indeed he has.

Maybe they were not on top of their game because Russell was the better team. That was obvious.

Maybe, but I don't think Maynard fumbled 3 times the whole season, yet he managed to do it in one game. The questionable play call by Haywood on the 7 yard line, he runs PA and Russell intercepts the ball with 50 seconds left and a couple timeouts. IMO, he should have called 1 or 2 run plays before he went to PA. Many things could have went different for Belfry and resulted in a win, but they didn't. Russell was the winner, it was just my opinion that Belfry was the better team.

Man...I can't believe it. What did Russell have to do to gain your respect as being better than your Pirates.

I have respect for Russell, and there not my Belfry Pirates. I just believe that Belfry was the better team. Maynard did not have his night and Haywood wasn't on top of his game either.

Because they work harder... :lol:

Not always.

I was getting ready to start a thread like this.

Private schools have a lot of advantages that public schools don't have, like recruiting. It will always be tough for a public school in any sport to win a state championship.

I like the system they have now. If they were to make a Floyd County league, some people may have trouble traveling around the county.
