“the belfry johnson central game has been close for the last couple of years. johnson central only bear them last year by a touchdown on a couple of really bad calls. and as you know the high school team has owned johnson central for a long time. think its 27-3 in favor of belfry, including this years game. not sure on the 3 it may just be 2.”

I like to start off by saying Belfry 8th grade teams is a great team and after we (JCHS 8TH) played them, I told everyone they would win the D2 State. However, let set the record straight.
First, You bring up the overall record of Central vs Belfry. However, you fail to mention under Jim Matney JC has 2 Wins / 3 Loses with the only blowout being 2010 JC 42- Belfry 7. 2012 17 – 14 Belfry, 2011 21 -14 Central, 2010 42-7 Central, 21-13 Belfry & 28 -12 Belfry.
Second you talk about “ready bad calls” how would you summarize the officiating this year with the game we played at Belfry? (I told the players they need to be 2 TD better to win at Belfry)(I was wrong the home field advantage was only TD and 1 /2). If you have any questing about the advantage then watch the tape of the game. You can clear on tape on 4th Down on the QB snick JC’s QB was about ½ past the gold line and it was call down short. Second, late in the game with like 50 second to go you can see the official look up at the first down marker back at the spot where the ball would have been inside the five and then threw the flag calling an imaginary block in the back.

belfry was playing 2-3 games a week when we beat johnson once we started gettin full weeks of practice no one cmae within 28!!!

Third, we all were playing 2 to 3 games a week.
In addition, Belfry’s coach posted needing a game on Saturday about 2 weeks after we had played. JCHS 8th Grade coach call and tried to get a game but Belfry’s coach was unwilling.
Last, after playing North Pulaski twice this year and South Pulaski last year I can clear say that Belfry is not on the same level or class of either of those two teams. I do agree that Belfry would match up better with South Pulaski power game. But in the overall picture it would not make much of a difference. Both North and South would beat Belfry by 3 TD if not more. Score would look something like 42 – 14.
