Central has some of the best people you will ever meet but that is still a very intimidating place to go play. This will be a factor in the game, especially the first time you go.

I still don't think Boyle really knows what to expect. (This is not saying they will lose by any means)

I remember, and you may as well, when Bell moved to 3A that Bobcats fans kind of brushed off Central now that they had moved down in class. I specifically remember telling them how surprisingly physical Central was. Then I warned about what happens when you turn it over against Central.

The Jackets don't just turn you over... they turn you over at the worst possible time and once they get their hands on the ball it is a 50/50 chance it is going to the house!

Sure enough... 2011.. Central 26 Bell 0.. key play was a 42 yard Fumble Return for TD. Also worth noting Round 1 Central beat a bad Casey County team 44-20 in a game that was tight until the 4th Quarter. Bell had beat Casey 47-0 and was feeling confident after Round 1.

Scoreboard watching gets you nowhere with Central. When Central beat Belfry in 2007 the Yellowjackets got smashed by Johnson Central in the regular season..Belfry beat JC 28-12.

The bottom line..and I am sure you will attest having seen some very good Bell teams play them.. is if you want to beat Central you have to hold on to the football and play sound Special Teams.
