BelfryJustice Wrote:It is so funny that fans of both teams can go and watch the best game of the year with what appears to be two very evenly matched teams and say the other is overrated and all the other crap that has been said about each team. Some of you people need to enjoy what you just witnessed and get ready for another battle in a few weeks to claim the war! There was nothing said on the internet feed about May crossing the goal line, but the fumble or what ever it was on the first drive by Sheldon Clark was mentioned a lot as questionable. That is part of the game and everything is not going to be called. I have more concern about the let down by Belfry than anything else in this game. Belfry just might not be as good an many wanted to believe before this game, but Sheldon Clark isnât much better from what I heard by listening to this game. I now think that both teams have a great deal of work to do before either one will bring a title back to eastern Kentucky. There are three teams that I can name that might be head and shoulders above Belfry and Sheldon Clark in Western, Russell and Mercer. As far as Haywood goes, he will have to answer if he feels as if he made any mistakes in this game. I think that if he did, we as Belfry fans will be able to forgive him based on the success that he has brought to this program and community. Let us spend a little time talking about what we like about the other team and not what we dislike! Sheldon Clark appears to have some of the best backs in the area as well as Belfry. Both programs have a great coach that is in charge of them. I have a great deal of respect for Shawn Hager and the Sheldon Clark program. The all time record may be in favor of Belfry, but as a Belfry fan, I know that you are in for a game every time you meet Sheldon Clark. That is out of respect for their program. Congratulations to Sheldon Clark on a hard fought battle and the win. This can do so much for your program, ride the momentum and enjoy it!

Great game cards and Belfry. It was a hard fought battle all night. Im glad to see that the game wasnt burdened by flags all night. The refs let the boys play ball and that is what it is all about.

A BIG CONGRADULATIONS TO THE CARDS! I was not at the game but with the lead Belfry had at the half, I feel like they lost focus and thought SC was going to go down without a fight. Itâs near impossible for a team to re-gain momentum in the second half after theyâve already marked the game as a win in their headâs at halftime. Good Luck to both Sheldon Clark and Belfry the rest of the way.

I cant say it was impressive how their fans acted after the game...well some of them, not a lot. Much respect to the majority of fans who didnt do this. I seen an old man, yes, old man, flipping the cardinal players off as he was exiting. Others I would walk by were cussing up a storm talking about the refs making bad calls left and right all against Belfry. But I guess every team's fans do that after a big loss which they think is wrong. It just kinda shocked me. Anyway, congrats to the cards on their first victory in 8-9 years against Belfry. I was also told that, that win over Belfry is only the 3rd time SC has beaten them in the school history. Good job guys.

the series is 15-3 belfry

corndog23 · 10-14-2006, 02:32 PM

wow......big time win SC. All this blaming of the officials is really poor judjement on everyones fault. I GUARENTEE there was some calls both ways that could have been called that werent, maybe a holding call on a touchdown run, maybe a pass interference call on an interception....referees calls balance out, and in the end, the players decide the outcome, not the refs. the refs didnt make a goalline stand in overtime, and the refs didnt throw a leadblock to spring dials for a touchdown run. Big time win SC....Belfry will be back in about 5 weeks.....keep practicing both teams...

hosscat99 Wrote:First I want to say congrats to the Cards I know you have worked very hard this week preparing for this game. Second Belfry is a great team, and this loss doesnt take anything away from what they have accomplished over the years, they have dominated this district. Thirdly I disagree with the comments about the officials, there wasnt many flags throwed on either team. Belfry probably didnt have 30 yards in penalties. And Cards had bout the same, they had one flag that cost them a 2pt conversion. And Im not saying it was a bad call. As for the call about the fumble for #5 I really dont know if he did or didnt but that was in the first half I think and it still had nothing to do with the outcome of this game. Finally I have one question If the young man did cross the goal line in OT why didnt the pirates start celebrating I think if he crossed the HE himself would have know it and a GREAT celebration would have taken place. Both teams have great programs, and this game was a great game!!!!! Good Luck to Belfry, and I am so proud of our cards for not getting down and giving up. Also that was a good post BelfryJustice.

First it was defintley a fumble. Even sports overtime said he fumbled it but they later got the ball back. Shouldnt you have to go down for the ball to cause the fumble? I think we got in on 3rd down in overtime for sure I watched the ball cross. Im not sure about fourth. But they had ruled it dead and no touchdown befor our guys could get up to celebrate because he was on the bottom of the pile.
And if you think the fumble made no difference. Didnt SC score that drive? Didnt the game go into overtime? Well without that score it wouldnt have. Every point counts early and late but congrats we will be waiting on SC. As Coach told his guys after the game he said we had the better team but we have to quit listening to media and all that garbage. This loss will do Belfry more good than anything. I would much rather take this loss now and celebrate in playoffs.

And by the way how many wins does Fairland have or does out of state schools even count in the tie breaker? The way I have it figured is Belfry is up right now in the tiebreaker and NCC and Pikeville both should have 2 more wins a piece. So I really look for Belfry to have the homefield advantage. And now Belfry is waiting on SC they will play that game with more intensity than they have in 5 years.

Congrats to SC on a BIG win!!! I'm not a SC fan or Belfry fan but neutral. But any of you that want to try and take anything away from SC by saying the refs made bad calls should quit complaining. Some bad calls are a part of all games. The bottom line is that Belfry had a LARGE lead (no ref complaints at that point), and then they blew the lead. If there is blame for Belfry's loss, it is with Belfry. Belfry, if they were so much better last night, and that apparently started out that way, shouldn't have lost the lead and shouldn't have even been in OT anyway. So congrats to SC, and I'm sure Belfry will get another shot at SC this season.

They was complaining about the fumble when we was in the lead also. I still say anyone that says that call didnt make a difference is out of their mind. It allowed themt o drive and score a TD take away the 7 they got and no TD no overtime. You are right though it should not have came down to that call. Belfry beat their self. When we get in the backfield and tackle we need to wrap up and bring them down. But like I said this loss just woke up a football team IMO. Better to loose now than in November. Ive talked to a couple of the boys and families of the players since lastnight and they say the boys have fire in their eyes. And that is something we havent really had this year.

Book Keeper · 10-14-2006, 03:06 PM

Some of you fans on here want to believe that the refs help out the CARDS. I disagree, If the refs were helping the CARDS why didn't they help when BELFRY scored 3 straight touchdowns. I believe that the CARDS fought hard instead of laying down took it to BELFRY.

Im not saying they was trying to help SC out but only thing Im saying is the fumble call did help them out and you know you have to step up and make that call. Belfry just layed back and took it easy and like I have said this loss will do them good. Especialy since its looking good for us to have homefield. I do think we got in on 3rd down in OT but not on 4th. It was close on 4th down and I couldnt see but someone behind the endzone who is very honest said he did on 3rd but not on 4th. But we should have never got it into OT. I mean our defense just had a letdown. It was a really bad played game for Belfry they just didnt execute the way they are capable of. But congrats on the win but dont celebrate to hard because the Belfry team you guys will face again isnt the one you saw lastnight. We have a group that works hard and the best of coaches they are IMO and we will be fine.

little Buddy · 10-14-2006, 03:44 PM

good job cards....I think that they are both great teams but SC did not lay down when it was 29-7 the cards came back and fought hard for the win.......i think thats the reason SC won they wanted it more than belfry.....not the refs...good luck to both teams this year

little Buddy · 10-14-2006, 03:56 PM

I think it will be the same team we saw last night because belfry played hard sc had some mental errors.... but over all belfry could not stop the cards Ground attack .....its just that Sc was the better team.....but i think the cards were not scared of belfry like most other teams are and they came out ready for a war....Great Game best one i have seen in a long time:thumpsup:

Belfry Wins · 10-14-2006, 04:13 PM

Nah I have watched Belfry every game this year but the Pburg game and I watched that game on film and that was not Belfrys best effort. They played nowere near the way they are capable of. Belfry is a better team than what they showed lastnight. So if you think that is the way you will see Belfry down the road keep thinking but I promise you Belfry is better than that.

Belfry Wins · 10-14-2006, 04:19 PM

By the way to say that SC is just the flat out better team is crazy. If they are the better team defintley then they shouldnt have had to come from behind and take it to OT to beat us. They are a good team Dials is a good back. But Belfry needs to get out of the hit them high mentality the backs wont go nowere if you get low on them. I dont care who they are. Im sure they will work alot on that this week. But Im out of here for right now got to go do some things. But Belfry use this game keep it in your head and think about it constantly how you let it get away. Do that and you guys wont let the next one get away.

I agree, if sc doesn't make a couple a mental micues, we win by two touchdowns. Great job guys, and extra congrats to coach Hager for being a class act. We need more coaches like him. Now with a win like that the school board will take notice and try to get better facilities for all the sports teams at SC.

**CAM2006** · 10-14-2006, 05:17 PM

If you are talking about the fumble on SC first drive I was standing right there and I thought that Belfry got it but SC come out with it I thought it was a good called game by the refs. The thing I seen hurt belfry was after they got the saftey on SC they scored a touchdown and went for 2 and did not get it if they had kicked the fieldgoal they would of won the game 30 to 29. I take my hat off to SC they never did give up like most teams would they have a really great team and if we play again I think it will be a great game just as it was last night.

They were the better team last night..thats all that counts..

kysportsguru · 10-14-2006, 05:25 PM

what happened here!!!!!!!
sounds like Belfry fell dead in the second half after being up 29-6 at half.
I can't believe this, and that makes a four way tie for tops in the district
between SV, Belfry, P-Burg, and SC.

If you are referring to the refereeing in this game, please don't go there. The refs didn't lose the game.

im not i know the refs called a fair game and im just sayin its belfrys turn to get the shaft because they gave it 2 us last year and we wanted to give it back to them

Its going get interesting end of season but I dont think SV can handle Belfry.

AND....I'm sure that when Belfry beats SC on their home field, that is what all of the Cardinal fans will say. It ALWAYS happens that way.....

BUT, I can promise you that you will see a VERY DIFFERENT Pirate team if we face the Cards again.

We'll take this loss and "run with it".....I can't wait!!!!!! :Cheerlead

**BelfryJustice** · 10-14-2006, 08:01 PM

It appears that many have no clue about this game! The game score at half time was 8-7 Belfry. Belfry scored 3 TDâs in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter. Then Sheldon Clark scored 3 TDâs from the 6 minute mark of the 3rd until the end of the game. Then Belfry got the ball first in overtime and was shut out of the end zone! Sheldon Clark scores a TD in overtime for the win. The scoring by both teams was unbelievable in the 2nd half of this game. One person on here compared it to the Russell game. I disagree with that because the Russell game from last was a tale of two halves. I would have never thought that Sheldon Clark would have came back after being down by 22 points with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd. That shows a great deal of heart by Sheldon Clark. Belfry needed to control the clock after getting up by 22, but they failed to do so. I cannot take anything away from Sheldon Clark, but I do think that this Belfry team thought this game was in the bag!

hoopster · 10-14-2006, 08:05 PM

Any team can be beaten on any given night. Sorry, Belfry. Congrats, SC!
