That was a great game and an even greater atmosphere.

Boyle was clearly the better team this night, but both teams played sloppy.

After watching Bell the last 3 years, I'd have to say the other two years they were better than this. Their defense and offense weren't quite as good this time around. Boyle didn't even bring their A game and still looked like the better team.

Bell looked like they were surprised that they were getting hit so hard. Plus, they could not run the ball at all and they just don't look that comfortable passing the ball.

I think Boyle's tough schedule - particularly the last game of the regular season against a team that will be playing for the 5A championship next week - prepared them for this game much more than Bell's schedule did.

A couple of extracurricular things about the game:

- It's total BS that opposing teams' coaches aren't allowed in the pressbox. I've been all over this state to many, many crappy, small stadiums and I think Bell is the only place this happens. Come on, Bell....you're better than that petty stuff.

- I can't believe the school and/or the refs allowed those people to stand basically in the end zone and blow air horns every time Boyle was in the red zone so that the players couldn't hear the QB snap count. Boyle had numerous false starts due to this but it was never stopped.

Great Post. :Thumbs:
