Sounds like Belfry is ready to march on worrying about where they might have to go in the next round on their way to Kroger Field. Some of these score predictions are calling for a pretty wide gap between Belfry and Ashland. I haven’t seen Belfry this season, but I assume they don’t have a line like usual judging that they lost to 1A Pikeville and lost to Johnson Central by 40. From looking at the results, Belfry has spent the latter part of their season playing the sisters of the poor. I’m sure the Pirates are good, but this obviously isn’t the typical Belfry team we’ve come to expect over the past decade or so. Ashland has played some stellar competition in Ironton, Wheelersburg, Spring Valley, and Russell twice. All of those teams were very good contrary to what Bob Seger will tell you. The Tomcats have seen bigger and badder than Belfry so I doubt very seriously that they will get demolished. I think this will be a very close game and a great game. I feel the same way about this one as I did about the Russell-Ashland game this week. It could go either way and the winner has a great chance to win the state title.

There is NOTHING wrong with analyzing a bracket. No one is looking anywhere but to Friday night. Ashland is an excellent team. They are not very big at all and I think Belfry will move the ball on them . Belfry’s 4 headed backfield is tough and 3 of them can change the scoreboard just like that. If Belfry hangs on to the ball they take it by my score prediction from earlier. It should be a real good game.
