If they are on the team why are they not on the field? If they are in the building why are they not on the team?I’m confused on those remarks. Agree with you on the other parts. Still believe they need someone to coach the DB’s. Belfry has always had a weak pass defense.

I hate to reply to this silliness but I will

1) Had a potential starting QB transfer then transfer backi.  The upperclassmen voted to not let him play...In the building

2) Injuries.  Still at least two big pieces of the team out... On the team, but not on the field

3) You do not win 7 state championships and have 7 runners up without a good DB coach.  The same DB coach has coached all the state championship teams and 4 of the runners up.

Not silly to point facts. Easy to coach when you have better athletes than your opponent. Go all way back to Knoxville Catholic game several years ago. Got beat because couldn’t defend the pass. Had very good athletes on team. Now forward to this year. Not as many athletes and have to teach and develop kids through your system and it’s not happening. Pikeville has beat Belfry 3 years in a row throwing the football.

Check the 2015 Belfry/Knox Catholic score and get back to me.  Basically the same players each year.  They had a pro named Amari Rodgers.  No one else around here plays teams like that.

Johnson Central schedule has had some pretty good teams on it. You are correct Belfry during that span had amazing athletes easier to coach a Catron or Woolum. Hunter. To name a few. But when it comes down to even teams Belfry can not stop the pass. Belfry has always been the weakest in pass coverage. Now with limited numbers player development and technique is key and it’s not happening in the area of pass defense. Another example. Belfry started freshman center and he had to block a Belfry transfer all night who is a senior and playing harder than ever and someone had him ready. He did a very good job all night. Just my opinion

Haywood will tell you it's usually not just the passing teams or running teams that beat you.  It's the teams that can do both.  Belfry will usually focus on stopping one or the other.
