Single biggest issue for Belfry will be staying healthy. The desire for a 4 straight 3A title appears to be stronger than ever. The Upperclassmen are working hard and appear to be setting a good example of work ethic for the freshman and soph's. But....staying healthy is an absolute must. Unfortunately, they're already had a couple of underclassmen go down to knee injuries in non-contact drills.

From what I also hear a lot of the starters have had a rash of minor injuries as well...but nothing too serious. Helmet and shorts and 7 on 7 has been as dangerous for Belfry as a 15 game season playing full speed it seems HAHA

I totally agree with you though... staying healthy will be key especially when you have guys playing two ways because they are simply so dominant on both sides of the ball. One injury to a two way starter means you lose two players instead of one.

I have joked offline wit folks..but for as valuable as Austin Woolum is to this team I kind of hope Haywood says "When you kickoff you sprint your butt backwards to the 15 and don't even think of tackling someone unless they are about to cross the goal line"
