Wow!! What a ballgame. It also ranks up there in the top 5 of games I have ever seen. Garrard County had a VERY good football team, speed, and very good athletes. They were well coached also. The Pirates looked to come out flat and the Lions jumped all over them. The second half adjustments saved them. The D for Belfry had got them to this point in the season and the D just about lost it for them to turn around and save it for them.:insane: I loved the atmosphere there, the town was beautiful, and the people were very friendly before and after the game. Thank you to Garrard County for being a great host. A few points I thought that hurt Garrard and Belfry also were the penalties, which IMO were the right calls. The one kid for Garrard that kept getting the chop block penalty on defense really killed them. I understood what he was doing, by taking the lineman down so the LBer could fill the gap, he just got caught doing it. I really hated it for the kid. Belfry had way too many stupid penalties, delay of game, or motion, but the personal foul penalties just about were there demise in the game. The officials done a good job I thought thou. I didn't make a prediction in the other thread simply because I didn't know anything about Garrard. I just looked at their schedule and compared it to Belfry's and assumed Belfry would win. I will not do that again. They would have beatin Breathitt IMO. That is not a slap to any team, just an honest evaluation. The Pirates were lucky to escape win the win. Well, I won't say that, It does take poise and tallent to overcome such a deficet that they had at the 1st half. Congrats Pirates and thank you Garrard for a great night of football. My hat goes off to you.:worthy:
