Belfry fans need not bullshit themselves. Are we a solid team with a chance at 3A this year? Absolutely. But RIGHT NOW, Johnson Central would put a spanking on us. Why? Because they're gonna run the ball right us and I don't feel like our front seven has progressed to the point (YET) where they could handle the big heavies of Johnson Central banging on them for four quarters. Talent wise, we have nothing to worry about. We have talented kids, they just have to get GAME experience in there and improve. LUCKILY I truly believe by week 10 they will have progressed to that point or close. We need not get big headed yet. There's a long way to go, and a lot of getting better to do. Luckily we have kids out there who have progressed a ton (don't believe me watch Somerset to Pikeville on film) in just four weeks. Promising for us, but Johnson Central is loaded right now. I'm a one game at a time kind of guy, as well. We have no idea what we're getting with Gallia because out of state football is almost always better than here, same with CAK and you know we won't get a call or any love down there as the visitors (which is our advantage with Gallia coming here)... but a game that scares me is Lawrence County. I haven't seen them on film but they're putting some points up and I think Belfry could overlook those guys. I think as of what I've seen right now Lawrence may be meeting us for a regional title.

What I'm trying to say is, stop looking at week 10. We have to improve so much from Game 5 to Game 10, so we can make a run at game 15 that we need to enjoy week-to-week how much better our kids are getting. We get 15 weeks of football out of 52 in a year, let's cherish them and keep improving so we can pick up a win come week 10, and hopefully 5 straight after that.

I am a person who is honest with himself and I will say this. Lawrence County is probably better then the last two years put together and it feels like this program is going in the right direction and I think we are getting better each week, but I don't think that Belfry will need to worry about us this year. Come October 18th if we can keep this game respectable and not get a running clock then that to me would be a huge step for this team and program. I am excited about the way this team is playing and the direction the program seems to be going, but I am also a bit of a realist but I do think the day will come soon where no team in the mountains will want to play us.
