[Belfry0304]

I know and respect the coaching ability of Haywood, but my question is....coming into a game, shouldn't Haywood have the Pirate team ready for the match up? Most will agree that you have to play 4 quarters to have title hopes, I see The Golden Eagles of having the edge in this game, unless Haywood gives his famous halftime speech prior to taking the field before the game?

I agree, but here's a point... Coach Haywood can draw LC and PC's formations on a board, run them in scout team, show them film, and talk up their QB's and lineman Monday-Thursday all he wants, but the kids have to want it. I believe since the bus pulled out of Knoxville, this (extremely young, for the record) Belfry team has been focused on Johnson Central. They saw two easy W's in front of them, and then this coming game. We can only hope they have learned a lesson. Coach Haywood cannot make them focus. I know one thing, he hadn't worried about the Eagles yet.
