This game has the making of a good one. Russell is a very worthy opponent who will come to play. I expect nothing but a good game. I do feel as if Belfry is the better team this year from what we really have to compare which is very little. I am not big on they beat them so they should beat this team and so on. We all know deep down that this has the making for a good game that both communities will be proud of. I totally respect the Russell players, coaches and community and I truly feel as if most from Russell feel the same about Belfry. I feel as if some of the posts are way out of line by both team’s fans. This is not about who has the best this and that. It is about who is the best football team and we should keep the focus more in that direction. Both programs have been blessed with tradition and it is only sad that one of the two must depart from the playoff so soon. Ivan and Haywood will prepare these young men for the battle and will expect nothing but the best from their respected players for 48 minutes. The battle on Friday will determine what we have been attempting to post on here with some in bad taste. Some will be right in their prediction and some will be wrong. We all know win or lose that both communities will deep down be itching for the next match-up between the two. Just remember to be more thankful of what each school has compared to what they don’t have. As a belfry fan, I know that we can never overlook a well coached Russell team any year. This team, like Belfry, will make you pay for your mistakes! I hope that we have the opportunity to watch one for the ages and everyone can walk away without injury. I will be picking my Pirates as stated earlier in a very close game at the half; however, the Pirates will put the game away in the second half.
