Got to go to the Belfry Kickoff Bash last night...some observations gathered from one of my sources who I shall not name,but let's just say I usually only relay info from the Head Coach or one of the assistants...
1) "we are really young...only 7 seniors and 6 of them will start...It is hard to line up 11 on 11 right now because of the inexperience"
2) "I believe we will be very competitive"
3) "Keaton Taylor is dangerous...We have NEVER had someone like him play QB...he may not be as fluid as Sani, but give him a little space and he is gone and he doesn't need much space"
4) "X Willis is a different player...He can be scary (really) good"
This Coach I talk to every preseason and the one thing I like about getting info from him is that he is brutally objective, as are most of the BHS coaches...The tone of the conversation was that Belfry is really young, but really talented and potentially real good again.
He believes the schedule is really good and that the youth may be exploited early , but should be tough come late in the year.
-some of my thoughts after talking with some folks and seeing some of the players
-the O line will carry this team early IMO...a chance to have one of their best lines in a long time and that is saying a lot...Straight from the roster as my source...Macky Francis Center...5'11" 323' ... Other lineman Drew Mullins 6'4" 270...TE Cole Bentley 6'5" 270', Austin Dotson 6'4" 270...Austin Gibbs 6'2" 267 and Jordan Scott 6'3" 300...
I am always skeptical about heights, but these are fairly legit IMO, except I would flip flop Gibbs and Scott around in the height dept. Horton listed 6'1" 270 and I would say 6'0" 260.
These guys are not fat either and they can really move.
A lot has been said about the schedule, especially the first three games...To be honest I could see any combination of wins and losses in those games, but if you come out relatively healthy in those games then you are set for a great season especially with 2-3 other good tests on the regular season schedule.
