Any word on the game with the Cleveland Oh team yet. Always heard how good Texas high school football was so good. Been disappointing watching some of them practice down here. Watched two teams that are suppose to be D1 feeder schools. They each only had 3-4 kids that may have started at Belfry. Over rated football here.

We finished 4th in the state rankings last year

Statewide top 5 is rarified air, especially for a 3A mountain school. If the Pirates can navigate their schedule unbeaten, they'll definitely be breathing that air.
Last years rankings was
1 Male
2 Trinity
3 South Warren
4 Belfry
And we going to be just as good this year I think this mountain school has been breathing that air ol buddy

First day of practice glad to see this

I agree. But our coaches and kids always seem to pull it out when know one thinks it's even possible. The coaching staff will always keep us competitive.

Really all I can say is HUGE and FAST and the kids are glad to be back at it

how about Wheeling Central Catholic (Wheeling, WV) for game #10. They recently came up having an open week the same as Belfry. IMO Belfry would win but it'd be a great game, even if WCC is WV class A.

If they are open I say jump all over that!
Wheeling Central Catholic is a powerhouse and has won too many titles to count.They typically schedule a ton of quality Ohio opponents or much bigger schools.
4 Hour Drive would be equivalent to some of these Knoxville trips

One of the Ohio opponents folded, they're now open the same week as us.

Wheeling Central would be a great opponent, and they play at "The Island" in Wheeling,
so a decent place to play a game!

Bad timing I guess
Man that Wheeling game would have been a fun one to add.
Maybe Belfry and WCC can get together for the 2017 and 2018 cycle and work something out
07-21-2016, 09:03 PM
DB from Kingsport would be the game if it could be worked out

Might want to ask the Johnson central staff about this bunch I think this is the team that waited a week before the game and cancelled on us I think two years ago , I'm not for sure but seems like it was ,

Did a little research and you would be correct
These guys backed out on JC like a week or so before the game
07-21-2016, 11:09 PM
Belfry has a good number out....roughly 65-70. Definitely agree with the previous poster who stated "big and fast". Barring injury...this Belfry team will be fast....real fast. Overall... Maybe the fastest team ever at Belfry. Taveon Hunter has really worked hard....and his speed has increased dramatically. The offensive line measurables would rival many college teams. 6'6 310, 6'5 280, 6'4 270...and so it goes. it's still awfully early....but it doesn't appear this team is resting on it's laurels.

Watched these boy's practice this morning. They seem to have it going on. Working hard, staying after practice to work on feet, hand and speed. I have no doubt this will be the best over all. Shouldn't be every many teams that can play with them. What I'd like to see them filter the younger O-line and D-line in some. They need the extra game time.
07-22-2016, 01:51 AM
Official number was 71 last I heard.
07-22-2016, 02:26 AM
Anyone go to the 7 on 7 with Hazard,,, I watched about 20 minutes from a little after 7 when they were on both sides of the field with each offense going against defenses... Hazards offense looked good as well as defense.. Belfry QB has a good thrown ball and hit some open receivers...

The last half we looked really good

A Belfry vs Wheeling Central game would have been interesting on paper, but games are not played on paper.
Wheeling Central is good, this Central team might be its best since 2007, but honestly couldn't beat Belfry.

Another Belfry question:
The contract with Cabell Midland in Ona, WV is up after this season.
Midland is looking for a game in 2017, Is Belfry going to renew the contract with Cabell Midland?

Not too bad of a distance for fans, Google-wise. Similar to championship distance. Shortest routes:
Belfry - Warrensville Heights 326 miles, 5h 3m
Belfry - Bowling Green 292 miles, 4h 51m
Just 12 more minutes drive time. Again, according to Google Maps.

As someone who visits Cleveland a few times a year and Bowling Green once a year, give me the Cleveland drive every time.

Definitely. Once out of town, it's virtually 65 and 70 the whole way. Assuming it will be a home and home series.
But the Bowling Green drive means more. ha.
