Yea i guess that is like comparing Pikeville and Belfry.

The gap between Pikeville and Belfry is closer than the gap between Belfry and Saint Xavier.

I'm not sure what your point is. I misread MCH's post, but from what i thought it said, my point was still a valid one. So, I am confused as to what your jab at Pikeville proves?

As for this whole game/situation:

-The Belfry staff is smart enough to realize if they only try to stop Wales, they will get burnt like some turkeys last week.

-That being said, Wales will have a solid game because Belfry cannot just focus on him. I will predict between 150-175 yards if the game is close. 225-250 in a blowout.

-Belfry is going to have to catch some breaks. They need Central to make some mistakes via penalties, turnovers, busted assignments, etc...

-Belfry needs to sustain long drives and convert on them. Belfry busting a 70-yard TD is good for them because it puts points up, but that just leaves more time with which Central has to work.

-Keep the game low scoring, Belfry does not have much of a chance once this game creeps towards 50 combined points.

-Central needs to establish their ability to throw the football early, opening up the running game later. They would like to score quickly and often.

-It is an obvious one, but force Belfry into passing downs. Belfry has to find a way to be a little creative on 1st and 2nd down to find a way to keep Central honest.

-My prediction:

Central 35
Belfry 14

Best of luck to both teams and here's to no injuries. Hope to see Pikeville back in one of these soon.
