That was one heck of a Frankfort team too, even though they lost their stars early that year there was still plenty of speed and they played disciplined football. That was a great game by both teams. Frankfort almost did it at the end but Bellevue hung on just long enough to escape.
They didn't play the whole season. It wasn't like they just missed that one game. Plus Frankfort was a very good team with out them so arguing that those guys didn't play in that game is irrelevant.
That 1977 game brought Bellevue their first state championship. I look for the tigers to move to 3-0 all time against the panthers,
Bellevue 18
Frankfort 14
The tigers need to control the clock and the ball. Frankfort definitely has the speed advantage but they did two years ago and Bellevue managed to come out of there with a victory. Should be a good one.
If he doesn't beat Ryle I believe he is done. If he gets blown out, I think you can almost guarantee he will be gone. On the flip side a big win could go a long way for him considering this isn't the most talented of Boone teams.
I agree with you I am curious as well, I know bracken is much improved but what makes you think they can beat a pretty good Bellevue team on the road? I don't see this one being close let alone Bracken winning.
I remember when I played down at Frankfort there were a lot of issues with their fans being less than welcoming to our fans as well as the field being full of holes and just not very well taken care of.
You're argument about losing from last years team isn't a very good one because Newport wasn't very good last year either. Or for the past several years to be honest.
