I am starting to believe that all this SC momentum may be a bad thing.....

Simply put this team is on Cloud 9 right now following a Leslie County win, but, all of a sudden they are becoming a trendy upset pic by alot of people across the state. Add to the fact that they are going to be playing in a packed house that should be rocking with probably the rowdiest SC following of the year.... to add to all this is nwo the added pressure of the WYMT broadcast, the subsequent interviews and media attention that will be coming throughout the week, and the ultimate realization that if they can beat belfry they are only one game away from Louisville.

Belfry will be entering this game calm and collected. They have been here...ALOT. Belfry will be playing in their fifth consecutive regional finals game... included in those matchups was the epoch battle with Pburg that garnered an audience of nearly 10,000 fans. The Pirates have dealt with the ultimate of media attention, a state title game appearance, the past two seasons. When that ball is teed up Belfry WILL not be playing before the largest crowd these kids have ever seen (both Pburg games last year as well as Russell).

Add to the fact that if Belfry has to receive the ball to open the game then SC has to deal with a bunch of overly excited young men having to contain Matt Maynard who single handily turned the game around the last time with a kick return. I have said it before and will say it again SC has to play mistake free assignment football to win this one, by being so fired up it may cause players to force the issue or over pursue. On offense the Cardinals can not afford to come out too tight or else they may fumble early or committ drive killing penalties.

I have ehard it debated so much why it is important for CAM to eb rocking come Friday.... well as a Belfry fan we need it to be rocking to make sure that SC knows they are in a game that they are not used to..and that our boys feel liek they are in familiar territory. We are fortunate to have another home game Pirate fans...lets show why they call it homefield advantage!!!!!!!
