X factors and Other Notes:
Belfry,s Kicking game in both field goals and punting are top notch.

Austin Woolum is all over the place for this team, playing Offense, Defense and Special Teams. He covered USC recruit Amari Rogers very well when Belfry played Knox Catholic has 36 tackles, 2 int with 1 for a TD. He is the long bomb threat if and when Belfry chooses to go to it and is the measure of reliability on extra points. Probably the best Belfry kicker I can recall over the years. It will be Woolums leg that is the most valuable on Black Friday as his ability to pin opponents deep on kickoffs have created long fields all season long.

During Belfry's toughest stretch (Week 3 - 7 ) of the season the Pirates went 4 -1 but were plagued with the turnover bug. Fumbling the ball more than 15 times over a two game stretch. In there week 7 win over Lawrence Co they put the ball on the ground 10 times, loosing it 7 of those times. This appeared to be fixed in their Regional Championship win over Lawrence but you can bet this is an area of concern for the Belfry staff and of opportunity for the Redhounds.

X factors and Other Notes:
Corbin appears to have the size and depth needed to hang with Belfry who likes to play deep into their reserves to keep fresh legs on the field.


Sizemore is Corbin. Everything offensively flows through him. Being responsible for 27 of Corbins touchdowns this season with both his legs and his arm give him the tools needed to beat the Pirates. Belfry struggles with mobile quarterbacks who can also throw. Sizemore reminds me of a slightly quicker Tyler Guffey from Wayne Co in 2013.

If Belfry's tough 5 week stretch were scary due to turnovers you would probably call Corbins week 4 - 6 performances a nightmare. While Belfry escaped their gauntlet with only 1 loss, the Hounds came out with a goose egg in the win column (0-3). QB/Center exchange issues plagues the hounds in all three games but the factor most notes in those losses where the speed of Mayfield and Danville. The knock on Corbin all season has been team speed. Have the Redhounds found a way to counteract the speed advantage Belfry should have on the Friday night?
