Great point. I was thinking that the margin was larger. A 9 point margin certainly does not constitute a "blasting."

I am tempted to say that JC is unquestionably the best team in the Mountains, but I have been wrong about the Belfry-JC game too many times in the past. I remember a few years ago when JC totally dominated Louisville Central (48-29, and it was not that close) and thinking that JC would roll over Belfry. Belfry beat JC 28-12 but later lost to Central in the state championship game by 10.

There have also been years where I thought Belfry was a solid favorite, but JC won the game. The safe thing to do is just say the game is a toss-up every year and resist the temptation to compare schedules and scores because they don't really matter.

Solid post and about sums up how I feel to a "T"

Right now I am thinking this is the best JC team Matney has ever had and they are about 17 points better than Belfry (2 TD and a FG).. I also thought a Belfry team missing half their starters would go to Knoxville and lose last week so what do I know HAHA.

FWIW, with the HC game..Belfry dropped a pair of sure TD passes on what ended up being empty drives.. those two scores would have blown the game wide open. At the same time, Belfry has dropped several wide open TD's this season so you can't really use that as a true measure as it is more the product of a common occurrence rather than an unusual error.

I think most Belfry fans will say JC is the best team it appears this year. Then again.. the Monday before that game I have a feeling you will see everyone insisting the other team is better because both teams relish that underdog role so much HAHA
