I think Avery Browning is the key to this game. I look back to the Johnson Central game (and to a lesser extent Lawrence County) as my measuring stick. Johnson Central had Belfry's run game under control for the first half and a held a lead 19-0. It was a well timed and placed Avery pass that changed the momentum of the game when Avery hit Taveon Hunter for Belfry's first TD of the game. He would toss another one later in the game. Avery's little used but effective passing kept the Eagles from really dialing in on the run and Avery's couple of passes loosened them up enough for the Pirates to finally find running room. I think they tested this a few weeks earlier when Avery went 3/3 with 3 tds against Lawrence Co. a team who usually plays the Belfry run well.

If Browning goes to the air 2-3 times and makes key completions then I think it will prevent Central from going all in on the run and make them respect the speed at which the Pirates can score.

Looking for a classic game, I predict Belfry wins 21-19 with the Pirates getting one of their TD's through the air.
