Shaking My Damn Head....

All I want to say is congrats to Ashland..you have a fine team with some great players and I hope Baker is back as soon as possible at 100%.

What's the status of Justin Johnson? Any timetable for a return? When will Austin Hatfield be recovered as well?

I took a lot of positives out of last night, the world would be a better place if people focused more on that then playing the blame game.

Another point I would like to make is I felt Belfry was a little flat to start the game and it seemed to take them a full quarter and part of the 2nd Quarter to adjust to the speed of the game. This is directly related to playing "down competition" for so long before stepping up. The JC game is positioned perfectly to re-acclimate Belfry entering the playoffs... but the two other top contenders in the Eastern Semi-State will have went literally months heading into their game with Belfry without really playing a team of equal or greater talent. I feel this is a HUGE advantage for Belfry if the players continue to push themselves to improve.

The group I was with last night said the same thing regarding the team playing flat. What we seen was when Huddle was put in at receiver,he seemed to ignite the team with some solid blocks to open up the outside for our run game. The players were getting fired up with his play. I thought he definitely gave our team a spark in the second half.
