[Big Five-0-]

Congrats Pirates on the win and good luck against Garrad Co.

[Jimmy Dugan]

Belfry's corner had a very impressive play in the second quarter. He literally grabbed the ball out of Breathitt's receivers hands after he had a nice gain.

[BOBCAT]

well no surprise here. breathitt was way over ranked all year. they never play anyone in the regular season. so therefore they do not get prepared for the better teams.

What an idiot you are.We was prepared but you can not fumble and muff punts against Belfry.

[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Congrats Belfry! There are 3 Mountain Schools left in the playoffs and 2 of them are from Pike County!

What a freezing cold night to watch football.

Let me first say I am a Richard Trent fan. I said all night how much of a monster he was and when we got up 28-14 I refused to celebrate for three reason. 1) Trent is good. 2) He's the same # as Tim Tebow. 3) He's the same same # as Hobo McCoy. LOL.

Costly turnovers as everyone has said, that muffed punt was the difference in this one. Belfry has to minimize those mistakes. #56 for Breathitt was a little too emotional but overall a very good defensive player.

Trent is a beast. Very good athlete and is a field general. I enjoyed watching him play. He plays defense just as good. I agree the punt was the turning point in the game. I don't think I would call it a muff as much as just not getting out of the way. He just stood there and let it hit him in the legs. It was a mental breakdown at a bad point in the game. IMO

First--Congratulations Pirates!!!! Job welll done!!!

Secondly, I agree with you 0304 on #56- His own players were pissed at him! AND, for the young man (Breathitt County)- player who turned and flipped the entire Pirate fanbase off, that was one of the most class-LESS moves I've ever seen a player make! You'd better thank God Philip Haywood isn't your coach or YOU would have played your last game before that one started.

[long_time_pirate]

I will only say one thing to the bobcat nation R.I.P
:flush:Until next season

[ballfan87]

Although I am a true Bulldog fan at heart.. my next favorite team as I have said before is Belfrey. They are a great team, who plays with a lot of class. Go Pirates and get that state title!

[bac2369]

After reading some of the comments and watching most of the game. Breathitt County could of won this game as the mo had shifted and then shot themselves in the foot which a pass that was caught and then take out of the recievers hands, then that punt that the player from breathitt who was a senior should of known to get the HELL out of the way and didnt.Belfry capalized on every BC turnover.Also the Willis kid from Belfry was almost unstoppable in short yardage situations.

[Backwoods]

Both teams played their hearts out and left it on the field. Breathitt had the momentum late in the third and that awful personal foul gave the momentum back to Belfry. There's no doubt in mind that if Belfry would have had to punt,Breathitt would have scored and took the lead going into the 4th. I don't know if they could have won in regulation but maybe could have gotten the game into overtime and won from there. That play was a good example,to all young player's,of what can happen if you don't keep your head on straight. Belfry was the more disciplined team and you have to give that one to Coach Haywood. He had his team pumped and ready to win. I thought the game was well called by the official's. They let them play for the most part. Congrats to Breathitt on a great season. Congrats to Belfry for advancing to the semi's. Goodluck next week,Pirates.

[DSRfan]

Costly turnovers and the Belfry depth proves to be the difference. Very hard fought game. Hats off to a very game Bobcat team.

Might take me a day or two to get up with him, but I'll have OH do a
Belry note. Count yourself fortunate you're not appearing as
a fairy ballerina in your avatar. BC was the better team as I
thought. Their unforced turnovers killed them in this game.
both teams play TO free ball and BC wins 28-7.

Good luck to Belfry, but last night looks Central removed the
mystery from 3A. They smacked Bell down, and neither
the Pirates nor the Bobcats would beat them.

Breathitt plays with a lot of emotion, but is very undisciplined. Personal fouls, unsportsmanlike conduct, late hits, etc. have plagued them all year. But, until Fri night, it hasn't cost them a game.

I'll say only one thing to Pirate nation- L-U-C-K-Y.
BC was the better team.

[DSRfan]

Great game that pirate defense was amazing tonight after the big oline whore their d line down it was on...there will be allot of bobcat fan eating crow tonight...

That's kind of funny, since it was BC's unforced to's that stopped BC, not Beflry's D.

[DSRfan]

well no surprise here. breathitt was way over ranked all year. they never play anyone in the regular season. so therefore they do not get prepared for the better teams.

That's assinine. BC beat themselves last night, and were
the better team. So since they were rated behind Bekfry all year. they CLEARLY were not overrated.

Imo i think that belfry was the better team they was the team who us the run pass combination better then the bobcats.They knew that 80% of the plays was pass plays an the run play didnt look comfortable for the bobcats...The pirates defense look better..the recivers where covered well alnight except the middle of the field we the zone proves to hurt..the only big run was when the QB was runnin for his life up the sidelines..This game proved to me that this pirate team goin for bigger things this year!!!!!And dont start hand the title to Central yet anything can happen this priate team is a mix of heart an skills like the 03 an 04 teams where!!!

I'll say only one thing to Pirate nation- L-U-C-K-Y.
BC was the better team.

Im sure they are. I guess we will have to settle for advancing to the next round while your "better team" will have plenty of time to enjoy the holiday week getting ready for some roundball. :lame:I love watching sore losers come up with ludicrous comments and DSR at least you have next year. Being overrated year in and year out since '02 must be getting really hard for you.

[red&white]

A muffed punt was the only unforced turnover an iterception, d back strips the ball and two hard hits forced fumbles thats tough D. Did you forget that Belfry held you to zero points in the first half. Belfry ran the ball at will all nite stopped by their own fouls a few times. To say the bobcats were the better team is crap. One TD was on 1 big play the other bobcat TD came on a short field off Belfry personal foul thats all bobkittens could do against that hard hiiting D.:moon: You have to be one of the fans sitting near us that acted like morons. That was the most disrespectful bunch and the worst place to watch a game. No where for visitors to set, and the home side has to many poles in the way to see the field. GO BELFRY!!!!!:redboxer:

[EKUAlum05]

Just like the prediction thread I see a lot of blind bias shining through from both fanbases.

Here are my honest truths from the game:

1. Belfry D-O-M-I-N-A-T-E-D the LOS on both sides of the ball.

Breathitt literally could get nothing running up the middle despite Belfry only having 3 and 4 total down linemen. The Pirates lived in the Bobcat backfield and the only rushing yards Breathitt got were outside using their athleticism in space.

On the other side, Breathitt did a great job slowing Belfry down, but in terms of the LOS the Bobcats rarely were getting penetration despite the stacked box, and Williams had plenty of time to pass.

After the two TO's basically left the Bobcat D on the field for 12 minutes you could tell it was Game Over. There were blobs of steam coming from the Breathitt players mouth on the cold night, while Belfry looked like it was the First Half still. Tre Willis then took over.

2. Belfry DID NOT run at will. Up until the fatigue I just mentioned above, Breathitt was very stout and played very good assignment football and did a great job of tackling. The Bobcat backers played a great game and Trent was everywhere making plays. The Pirates had success moving the ball, but it wasn't like they were just rattling the chains down after down until late in the game. The Bobcat D played good enough to win.

3. The Turnovers were the deciding factor, but to suggest they were unforced is asinine!

One turnover was unforced, the mental breakdown on the punt. Warren made a "grown man" play by ripping the ball, Collins got crushed and a helmet was right on the football, and the INT at the end of the Half came due to Trent being pressured heavily and noone being open. Nothing has been said of the Belfry INT after the Warren robbery in Bobcat territory. Williams forced a pass when he had Justin Johnson in the flat with noone within ten yards of him.Had Belfry not turned that over and drove for a score the complexion of the game would have changed drastically.

The "unforced errors" that are being overlooked are the Breathitt Personal Foul to continue a Belfry scoring drive and the two Belfry personal fouls that subsequently set-up, then continued, the ensuing Breathitt scoring drive. Neither of these points should have been on the scoreboard if both teams don't make these mistakes.




DSR actually showed that he had a pretty good idea of what he was talking about leading up to the game, but to suggest that Breathitt was the better team...let alone suggest they should have won by 3 score... tells me that maybe the "friends at the Jackson PD" should have came for him instead and took him to a mental asylum. These were two very even teams...I don't think Belfry is 14 points better... but after seeing how Belfry controlled the LOS and completely shut down Bretahitt's running game (except one play) and took away their deep passing game while at the friendly confines of Jackson, KY...I don't see how anyone could formulate anything other than the Pirates were a slightly better team.

Breathitt never displayed the ability to drive the football the entire night. They simply did not have the patience to stick with the intermediate passing game without the deep pass and the running game being there. Belfry did show that ability. Breathitt never had an answer for Justin Johnson as well.He couldn't get the "big one" that we are used to seeing, but he was avergaing around 5 yard per carry and his quickness gave the Bobcats fits.

You can think what you want, reality tells a different tale.
BC moved the ball effectively against Belfry (though Belfry
was tough and made it difficult), it was their own unforced
to's that stalled them. Belfry couldn't move the ball effectively
against BC's D, and got their scores on short fields courtesy
of to's(not to mention a bs flag that gave them a huge 1st
down when BC stuffed them early in the 3rd.)

Belfry was the best tream BC played this year, but they play this
game 10 times, BC would win 7, maybe 8.

Would you PLEASE give it the hell up already! You LOST- BELFRY is advancing. Your opinion means squat as you have rattled on like a damn goose! Congrats to Breathitt on a good year but your arrogant, rude, snotty butts are home now. The RED Pirate boat (as one of the posters hanging up at the game stated) is sailing off into the sunset!

That's kind of funny, since it was BC's unforced to's that stopped BC, not Beflry's D.

i dont know what game you was watching,but BC only had one big play and that was the 80 yd run by Trent, look and the running yds beside trents,what 18yds rushing, and the passing was was just a little over a 100,Belfrys DEFENSE stripped the wideout and got the turnover and Belfrys DEFENSE hit Trent from the side and caused the fumble so that 2 of BC turnover,there other one was because the kid just: messed up and Belfry was there at the right place at the right time..:Sad04:

Evidently you didn't watch the game. Belfry made it difficult, but BC
CLEARLY showed better ability to move the ball against Belfry's D,
than the reverse. Belfry only got one drive for a score, their
other scores came on short fields courtesy of BC to's. BC repeatedly
rose to the challenge and stuffed Belfry in the first half. And did
so on Belfry's 1st drive in the 3rd, only to see their great effort
wasted by a B&^%$ flag that gave Belfry a 1st down.

All in all it was basically as I previewed the game, including my
contention that a siginificant to differential would make the diff
either way. BC WAS able to match the Bucs effectively up front,
and Belfry, while making it tough, was not able to stifle
BC's offense. You take away the to's, and BC wins, and
likely wins as I said 28-7, because late Belfry would have HAD to
pass, and that means pick 6's.

Say hello to Mr. Roark and Tattoo for us.

[pirate_time]

belfry would haven't gave up the second td to the bobcats if it was for the short field so u cant use that as the reason u lost..just man up the bobcat lost an the pirates won ..an u would have to play alot more than 10 times to get 7 or 8 win verus this pirate team..:rockon:

[BoondockSaint]

That's assinine. BC beat themselves last night, and were

Take your whipping like a man, say congrats and move on. Things like this make it hard to take anything you say serious.

Excuses are like assholes, everybody has one, but not everybody has enough ass about them to do the right thing.

Go Pirates!

[BHS78]

Congrats to the Pirate's and Coach Haywood and the assistant coaches on a well played game and your victory over BC last night. BC was outplayed and also out coached by Belfry. Good Luck against Garrard County next week..Also good luck to BC next year.

Belfry did stifle the Bobcats offense. Probably 75% of their offense came on one run and the last drive against the prevent defense. The only time Breathitt scored (aside form the 80 yard run) was on a short field as well. they took over on the B47 and also had a "BS personal foul" that bailed them out of 2nd and Long and gave them 15 yards.


The only success Breathitt showed on offense was inconsistent gains running outside and the handful of intermediate passes they completed. There was NOTHING gained up the middle (probably lost yardage) and the Bobcats got nothing from the deep ball they rely on.
