It probably is somewhat true that Johnson Central would rather play week 3 but I think from what I've heard that Johnson Central has no problem keeping the game where it is but it would like the game switched to Johnson Central this year and then they would travel to Belfry the following year. This upcoming season Johnson Central would have to be on the road the last two games of the season to Putnam Stadium and at Cam. I was told that Coach Matney was tried to get this done for the past couple of seasons but he hasnt had any success in doing so.. From what I've heard from some Sheldon Clark fans Coach Haywood asked Coach Hager if he would do the same thing with their series. I really dont see what the problem is to switch the two games. Coach Haywood doesnt seem to want to do this with Johnson Central but yet he has no problem wanting Sheldon Clark to do this for him. I really hope this gets worked out because I always enjoy the JC vs Belfry game.

It isn't that black and white.

Belfry agreed to travel to Southwestern 2 years in a row, 2013 and 2014 because it was best for both schools frankly. Belfry needed an away game in 13 and SW had to have a home game in 14 or they would only have had 3 I think. The only way we could do that is if we adjusted our home/away schedule a little. SC agreed to make that switch and they were gracious about it. It was a mutual decision and it worked.

Keep in mind that it has been a long hard battle to fill out our schedule after having 2 teams drop off in the latter months. Thinking the rest of the schedule was set in stone, we made the above changes and thought it was finally over and done with.

Then, in MARCH, after that is all complete, Matney calls with an ultimatum, either Belfry comes to JC in 2013 or JC is going to drop the game and find somebody else. Sooooo, Johnson Central has the contract and if they want to continue the series they can sign it. If not I guess both of us will be looking for another opponent.
