[Demarcus ware]

Being an original Harlan county resident and fan and now a current belfry resident and fan for the last 4 years or so, I’ve had and seen some battles with Dudley and Bell. The rivalry with HC and Bell was always nasty, this banter with Bell and Belfry has been pleasant. After last nights game we talked to a lot of Bell fans and they couldn’t have been more respectful and having good things to say about the Pirates. We walked by a group of middle schoolers and they was asking my wife if they could move to Belfry lol. It was a great night of football. As for the game, the better team won and that’s about it. I will ask this, why did Dudley go away from RPO’s? They was burning us with those and we had no answer for it. That’s a play you can run every single play and move down the field. Watching London play live was a treat because that was one elusive kid. Just when you think he’s cornered, he slips out and gone. I do think we did a better job in the second half with him but i really think Dudley helped us out by not running that RPO every chance he got. Bells offense goes the way of London, when we did stop him, we stopped Bell. Their running backs didn’t offer much which is a credit to Belfrys D. The way 3A is looking right now, IMO until the next realignment it’s going to be a 3 or maybe 4 team show. That’s Belfry, Bell, Desales, and CAL. Again hats off to Bell, you did shock me and the game itself was closer than i would have thought.
