Leonidas is the only Belfry fan speaking the truth in this thread. Belfry has a nice 3A team but they are not nearly as good as the past two seasons. The secondary is not as good. The linebackers are not as good. The DE's are not as good. The D Line is about the same.

Offensively, the backs are tad better, but aren't in rhythm due to injuries. The oline has performed well but is probably a tad less than last season. Taylor at WR is an improvement but he has been plagued by drops at times.

The biggest concern for me is the defense. They are young and inexperienced. They don't seem to be getting better at reading their keys and playing fast. The second concern is the lack of execution/ fumbles from the offense. Against a semifinal/final team, Belfry will not overcome 4 turnovers. The defense can't get the stops.

Johnson Central is going to humble a lot of Belfry fans next week. To the extent any of the kids need a wake up call, I'd like to think trailing by 12 at halftime to Pike Central would get their attention.

I believe there is a lot of fans that know what JC is capable of. And to say that we will be humbled is slightly overstating it. Yes, we want our team to win, but we have been through losses before, and big losses at that. One as a matter of fact was against JC a few years ago. I myself have said that Belfry would have to play a near perfect game to get the win and that hasn't happened yet this year. I would love to see this one come down to the wire. Gonna be a good one.
