Belfrys main objective every year in my opinion is to get that o-line to a point where Haywood himself could run the ball. When you get lucky enough to have a back like Dixon on top of that, it's a joy to watch.

This is true. Our Offensive Line looked like at the beginning of the season that it was going to be a liability. Having only one returning starter there was a lot to work on. Throughout the season we had glimpses of them having the potential of being really good. Then at other times it looked like we might be in trouble. But right around playoff time when we really got healthy, this group took off like a rocket.

The first two playoff games they dominated. But it was against Floyd Central and Pike Central and I thought maybe it was just a mirage. But when Ashland came to town and we did the same thing to them, that's when I knew they were coming together. Then I really knew after the DeSales game that these guys were really good after going toe to toe with one of the best D-Lines in the state. And I thought they controlled the line of scrimmage against Bell County as well.

This group came together, overcame alot of obstacles, blocked out all the noise that they weren't near as good as Belfry lines in the past, grew as a unit, and finally put everything together and can now say that people were wrong about them. Not only that, they can say that they blocked for three 1,000 yard rushers in a single season. How many O-Line units can say that? I'm sure there's some, but not many. This group, Sean Cochran, Logan McCoy, Aiden Smith, Cameron Hensley, Triston Dotson, and Ethan Wolford went from being a weak link at the start of the season to, in my opinion, the MVP's of the 2019 Belfry Pirates.
