I have kind of held my tongue and fingers to lay off some of the JC fans. Scrimmages do not count. Matney looks at each contest, be it a game or a scrimmage, as the most important thing going on in the world at that time. That is fine. Coaches prepare differently. Maybe JC would have won in 06, but they did not play. They did play last year and JC got the holy crap beat out of them. It was never a game except for a couple of big pass plays. The three-headed monster of Grim, and Dillon and Richardson was beheaded. Belfry had 3 backs of their own that were flat out better than JC. Now, that was last year. This year will be decided on the field. As I have said in other posts, Matney will bill this game as life or death. I honestly believe JC will be a favorite and deservedly so. I believe right now they are better than Belfry. I don't think Belfry is as stout up front as they were last year. But what gets me is the total lack of respect JC fans are giving the Pirates. Believe me, Belfry repects and wishes JC the best, but remeber that Belfry is The Program in these parts. JC is not. They have improved so much since Matney has arrived and I believe they will continue to do so. They may very well beat Belfry this year and if they do they will deserve it, but Belfry does not measure their success by the JC game. They measure it by how they end the year: usually at least in the final four, a place JC has found how many times in their history??? A little dose of humility would help you Central folks until you actually accomplish something other than beating Ashland or Montgomery County in the playoffs. Getting blasted by Cov Cath and Lincoln County should be a lesson that maybe your program is not quite at the statewide level that you think you are.

Yep you got us last year. Like I said last year team is over achievers this year is different. That's why we play the game good luck both teams. JCHS wants to beat everyone not just Paintsville or belfry, its about the hardware believe that.
