I have a feeling the capacity of the Eagles' Nest will be doubled Friday night.

as always good post... Belfry is 5 TD's better than SC.... but with the way SC approaches playoff games and their style of ball, that 5 TD's can be erased quickly if Belfry brings anything less than their A-game.

If Belfry can survive Sheldon Clark, I know there is no toehr fanbase I would rather welcome back to CAM than Breathitt's. Without a doubt one of the best following's in the State bar none... good luck this week to both teams, but in particular Coach Holcomb's Bobcats!

CovCath fans will be a better judge on that. They played Belfry in the rain. It appeared they hwd more team speed than Belfry, but the Pirates won the LOS. Everyone this week was saying they didn't think JC had much speed based on what they saw on tape. Assuming they are slow will be a fatal flaw. They won't look like Bryan Station or Lou. Central, and won't be as fast as Highlands, but they are far from slow and their niche' has little to do with speed.

Breathitt's run defense has got to shore up in a hurry. Not only does Estill pose issues if they can't improve, but Belfry is altogether a completely different monster.

I predict an absolutely rediculous game in a raucous atmosphere!

Belfry will have to replace Elkins, Lee, and Dotson.. as well as Whetstone and Coleman. The Pirates will ahve their work cut out next year as well. Have faith in the Devils, now they have something to think of every day during the Summer and know what level they have to get back to.

Definately the headliner in EKY next week...possibly for the entire state.

Congrats to the Royals on the fine season and District Title! SC has a blueprint they sue in the postseason to pull upsets. Tonight they executed it perfectly! They eat clock and wear teams down, all the while building their confidence. Belfry is about 5 TD's better than SC, but as evident two years ago in the regular season meeting, if Belfry doesn't play focused ball next week and SC uses their blueprint then they could fall victim as well. SC has a very, very tough team and a Coach who takes vchances to pull the upsets. They have me worried.

Thanks for the kind words Ryan... all tonight means in the scope of the Belfry/Russell rivalry is that the next time these teams play Russell will be out for blood!:thumb:

They'll be back soon.. Belfry just has a buzzsaw this year that may not have the dominating backs like Howard and Jones, but they have a VERY, VERY good backfield... and much better QB play and defense than those championship teams. The key for Belfry now is FOCUS. I'd be lying if part of me didn't want to play Mason County so we could play against their speed and spread offense in case of future matchups down the road.

Belfry did any and everything they wanted tonight.

I think... I took a phone call....

Appreciate it my man :thumb:... probably just meet up with the family though.

If Belfry makes it to the Carpet I will fly up for the game.

Corey Charles' 3rd INT of the game Cordle has 1 completion and 4 INT's

I'll be honest I'd rather see Mason County...not anything to do with matchups as Mason will be a tougher opponent..just want the MC fans to have a chance to visit Pond Creek for the first time. We like entertaining new guests. :thumb:

You in town next weekend PP? I'll be making my return..

Even in the blowout Belfry continues ot stymie the Russell offense.

Great game in the "Who wants to try to stop Belfry?" sweepstakes

1st and 10 at 27..Lee out of game replaced by Chase (YPC) Maynard... Varney to 25 "YPC" Maynard gains 15,,, right around his average LOL 1st and 10 Belfry @ 11 Maynard to 7, 2nd and 6 Carroll checks in for Dotson at FB Maynard to 5, 3rd and 3 Maynard to 3, 4th and 1

Ahh.. he hadn't lost one since Lawrence... blame that on focus Dolly steps all over the end line but gets by with it,fair catch by Belfry who will probably lock it in cruise control soon
