This is a quote usually made by several Befry supporters, "we get better as the season goes on". Maybe you could be ahead of your normal game if practice started when available. Maybe that could be the difference in a State Runner-up & a State Championship.
Dont take these statements wrong. I support Belfry in there State Championship run every year, and they are one of our biggest rivals. I"m just saying.

As i stated dont take the statement the wrong way. There is a lot to learn in these glorified 7on7. I know football is mostly blocking & tackling, but there is a lot of fundamentals to be taught with out the pads on. I was simply saying with the extra 2 weeks practice you could have more trophies in your case.
I support Belfry when there not playing my team. This was not meant as an insult or anything of the sort. I'm simply saying a lot can be done in those 2 weeks without pads. Technique, timeing, etc.

It wasn't taken the wrong way its just how the all-time winningest coach in KY has done things & it works. How many players look like all-americans without pads on & when the pads do go on they just don't have what it takes.....A BUNCH!!!! Its just my opinion that there's not anything that can be accomplished in those extra 2 weeks of practice without pads. It just becomes boring for the players & coaches plus if your fortunate enough to play until December that is a LONG season.....but everyone has their thoughts on the subject of when to start. Which is the right one??? Who knows!!! Its all about what your head coach feels comfortable doing. GOOD LUCK except on Sept. 7th...LOL
