No Belfry is very good. Pikeville was just better tonight...

Congratulations to Pikeville.....they played a great game. They came into it with a solid game plan and executed very well. Definitely wanted it much more than the Pirates.

That being said......I do believe Belfry was exposed tonight. Whether they were simply flat.....or simply unprepared....probably a little of both. However.....Belfry didn't look like a very good team tonight.....no disrespect to Pikeville.....but they're not going anywhere playing the way they did tonight.

The Defensive line simply got no push....and the LB's looked slow on their reads. Pikeville is a good team....but certainly no world beaters....and for Belfry to lay such an unimaginable egg is telling. No fire....no emotion...no real effort..No psychological push from Coach Haywood's halftime talk and adjustments.

Believe it shows a lack of leadership.....and that's something many of us Belfry followers discussed during the offseason. This is a relatively young team......and they're not hungry......


Whether or not this team is capable of regrouping and gaining their lost focus over the next few weeks remains to be seen.
