Naturally, Belfry will not be the same team. But so many underclassmen on both sides of the ball got a lot of valuable playing time, just due to running clock situations. Granted, the outcome was always decided by then, but opponents still basically played their first team. And yes, at times it was not as polished as the starters. But real-time experience pays off tremendously.
With playoffs, current juniors have practiced the equivalent of 4 1/2 seasons in 3 years, sophomores 3 seasons in two years. The cupboard won't be bare. But focus and intensity will have to take over. Underclassmen can't rely on the past to carry them. Coaches know that, and they will get the best out of them.

Justin Baker started every game at tackle, while Dagen Rash started 4/5 games and played with the first string on several other occasions, Austin Lawson played in 9 games as a backup and did very well. Ethan Wolford will be in the mix at one of these spots, I see Rash moving to G and Wolford at the C spot. There will be a battle for the other OL spot, but this group will still average 6'2 265lbs and have good speed. This Belfry team won't miss a beat! These lineman are working their tails off in wrestling and Wolford and Rash are doing great at the meets from what I've heard. The road to Bowling comes though Pond Creek and I believe it will be Belfry and Central for the title once again!
