Lets Go Devils!

Final Prediction:

Very close, hard hitting game in the first half. Belfry's run defense stymies Russell, but Devils get a couple big plays through the air. Belfry has success on ground, and continually are set-up in good field position thanks to their defense. Belfry scores a late TD to enter the Half up 14-10.

In the 2nd Half the Pirates slowly start wearing down the Devils starting with an opening drive that just milks clock and demoralizes Russell as they see the lead swell to 21-10. Russell becomes more reliant on the pass and Belfry's "Secondary with alot of holes" benefits from "the slow defensive linemen" who cause pressure and create a couple turnovers. Pirates ice it with a late score.

Belfry 28
Russell 10

Russell knows what has to be done to come out with a big win tonight & they have the horses to accomplish that goal.

The same can be said for the other side of the fence on this one...neither team is a stranger to playing close games on a big stage.

I hope so. It was a joke.

I would love to see Russell pull this one off tonight and get another shot at Mason County. They have a good shot at it if they come in focussed.

That would be a great early christmas for all of us at AK.

figured i'd get one last post in before the game tonight. I know that Russell is the under dog in this game to most, but I don't see it that way. I look at a Russell team who is peeking and a great time and might be playing their best football right now. which is a heck of a time to do so. they've started to play like pitbulls again and their back is against the wall, thats the last thing you want to do to a pit bull is corner it...i still say Russell by a field goal, possibly more...go get em' devils make the Ashland Area proud

**phs1986** · 11-21-2008, 05:57 PM

Good luck to both teams....
Let's pray that no-one gets hurt.....

and BELFRY WINS!!!!
