[BADCAT74]

The refs had nothing to do with this game, the Pirate D held the Tomcats in check most of the game and won the game for them. Ashland had 1st and goal on the 2 yard line and Belfry held Ashland until 4th down when the Tomcats got in the endzone. I was thouroughly impressed with the defense of Belfry!!Why not just call it like it is, which was a great game between two great programs and quit making excuses about the refs. Lets hope #80 learned his lesson and if not maybe Coach Hart will take care of the problem within!! All we heard all week was Ashland played with the best team in WVA and all this garb, but like people said all week WVA football is not like KY football.. Enough Said!! Go Pirates. And what class by Haywood.. took a knee instead of hanging 7 more on the tomkitties!

?? Not sure I get The comparison of Ky vs WV. I mean generally I would say it's true Ky is probably superior overall but GW could play with alot of teams in Ky. Just as we played with both. I think We played with one of the best teams in WV. An I think we just played with on of the best teams in 3a in Ky? I would think just the opposite belfry an GW were decided by less than 4 points only difference IMO was belfry was more of a power team an GW was the more speed an finesse kinda team. Both are great football teams I would think that would be a favorable comparison for the pirates?
An the only reason he didn't try to put it in the endzone at the end was IMO he did want to give the cats a chance with enough time to make something happen. Just smart football by a veteran coach, why not take a knee an secure the game.
Rather than possibly have to kick off an give a potent Ashland team a chance for the big play which they are generally very
successful at.
