22-20 Belfry in overtime. Figure JC keeps it close since they ALWAYS get the calls at there place. Just like last year Belfry is the best in the state.

Starting to make excuses early are we not.

If you remember correctly last year JCMS 8th came to Belfry and had two close calls. (Being nice) go against us.

First close call was the 4th and Goal from inside the 1 was called a stop. Reviewing the tape later showed the back had gotten about 1 yard into the end zone before being pushed back out.

Second close call was late in the game when we were driving down inside the 20and had a clip called. Up till that point in the game the only calls the official had made was off sides on defense or illegal procedures on the offense. Clearly, Belfry and JCMS both had gotten away with blatant penalties throughout the game. My point is the official’s had made it clear up till the clip the game was going to be decided by the boys not them. In reviewing the clip on tape you can observe the official seeing the block watching the end of the run, seeing it would have been 1st and goal from around the 6 and then turning back and throwing the flag. No to imply any dishonesty watching the call several times it appeared the blocker got his head on the front side of the player but it was difficult to tell for sure.

In posting this I do not want to take anything away from last year’s 8th grade team greatness. They kick our put up there PERIOD. Just want to make the point when you are on the road either you make the play needed to win or not. Belfry is too good of a program to make excuses.

I expect this to be a great game. More than likely only quality game either team will play until they play again in the conference play off and the state tournament.
