I say I know 6 or 7 teams will play Belfry question is does Belfry want any?I'm sorry but playing one tough game per year can't help a team get better I wouldn't think.


I am going to have to question some fans knowledge of the game if they think Belfry would beat Beechwood this year, Raceland would beat Belfry this year.

First of all let's not worry about Belfry's schedule. If you said before the season that this is Belfry's main opponents: Louisville Holy Cross, Lawrence County, Pikeville, Sheldon Clark and Johnson Central. Most people would say that in most years, that is a good schedule. It is not Belfry's respnsibility to keep up other school's football programs. Pikeville and LC once were powers, and now they are not. LC still played Belfry a good competitive game. That was good for them. Now it is obviuos that was LC's best performance of the year. It looks like they have lost their confidence. Belfry has had schedule's similar to this before, and they always fare well in the postseason. I expect the same this year.
EKU hinted at this next point. The thread says how would Belfry and Beechwood fare this year. Maybe it should have said how would some of their better teams have fared over the last few years. 2003, Belfry in a landslide-Beechwood was pounded by Danville and was one of the poorer Beechwood teams I have seen. (And they were still better than most). 2004, Belfry again would win IMO, but Beechwood much better, just that Belfry was more explosive than the Tigers. 2007, Belfry and Beechwood would be a good matchup, but I will take the Pirates in a close one due to their defense and not a great Beechwood defense. (The reason I used these years was because the Tigers played right before the Pirates at the finals). This year it is real hard to tell, but I will give my final opinion after December 12th, when I get to see them both play.
