welcome to playing against Belfry. We will stand toe to toe and trash talk with the best of them regardless of our foe. We could be going up against any team, at any level, in the entire world and we would still find ways to root for out Pirates and swear they had a chance. It's a passion many will never understand. We could be in the midst of a 100 game losing streak with a 9 man roster and we will still thump our chest. Win or Lose it's a way of life.

I agree with the passion and pride, however, it's real easy to support a team 100% when you all have won like you have. I remember going to Belfry last year and seeing all of the accomplishments, at that moment, combined with the crowd and the aura around Belfry, I knew we were beat. Bourbon was buried under the cellar 7 years ago with 3 straight win less seasons, now they are in the state semis for back-to-back years. The excitement around Paris has been on a level that I've never seen before, add the possibility that everybody in between Paris and South Williamson might be coming to the game and we might have the best atmosphere high school football has ever seen in this state. The passion is there on both sides, you all believe you can win, as do we. Friday night, the players prove which side is right.
