what a game.. low scoring like expected, but well worth the 5 bucks.. belfrys defense was impressive.. the pirates scored early in the first, then held ashland for 3 quarters. they finally hit paydirt midway through the fourth.. then for some reason tomcats coach decides going for two was a good idea.. espeacially after belfry just showed him that they was lucky to get in the first time, by holding that goalline d like a steel curtain..trey willis pounded tomcat defense for about 60 yards maybe more.. befry got down to 1 yard line and opted to kneel for a couple plays ensuring the victory.. classic game.. it was definitely a statement for belfry.. ashland has beaten a few teams that have some clout including ironton, russell, and gave george washington a good run as well.. lawrence county next, pike and johnson central ahead.. the pirates will definitely be battle tested for the playoffs.. lets make another run at state belfry..
