I agree with you that most of the replacements could start for other schools BCB09. I also agree that Bell is not down compared to other teams. But i will say that I think that compared to Bell's own standards,the new starters are going to have to prove they are on last years level. I also believe that Bell is on the threshold of a great team for next season with 20+ seniors who are Juniors now. So,my take on it is if Bell is to be got it's this year because it may be really tough to do in the next 3 or 4 at least. I certainly don't think anyone could make an assessment of beating Bell based on Bell's preseason performance in a 7 on 7 passing tournament. I hope that when we come down there on the 12th that we can have an injury free,good showing in front of a large crowd for an up and coming 1A team. That would be a good experience for our kids. Bell will be the best team we will see this season and I'm excited about it. Good luck to you all this season.
