I think central will have the best run defense belfry has faced by far. I think they'll give the pirates fits. That combined with the home field advantage, I think they will keep belfry to 28. Which would be enough to beat belfry if central could score. I think it'll come down to the wire, but belfry will win in the end. I think belfry's defense is enough to hold Central's offense. I'm gonna say 28-21 belfry. Setting up what I'm gonna call Red Friday.

IMO, Huntington and Johnson Central are the two best defenses we've seen...with Cabell Midland a close 3rd . IMO, Huntington High is better than JC, Belfry and Louisville Central.

That being said....Belfry/Central will be a slobberknocker. I do think Central has a big advantage playing at home. As a Belfry fan....I'm a little concerned with the 4+ hour bus ride. In times past.....we've not always performed our best when making that trip and playing the same day. Not only that....but Belfry has been uncharacteristically a slow starter the past 4-5 weeks. Not sure why...but they have. Belfry cannot afford to still be shaking out the cobwebs in the 2nd qtr. The Pirates must come to play from the onset.

for the most part....when these two meet up....its a game that's typically went down to the wire. if you throw out last years blowout, and throw out the trouncing Central gave us in 2010.....many of these games come down to 3-7 point spread.

This will be the first ever non neutral site game for both....so Central gets the edge there.......But.....it will also be the first time Dantzler will have witnessed a Haywood coached team. Advantage Belfry.

For some to say that Central is fast......c'mon.....Central is always fast. I think Belfry's OL will neutralize their speed to an extend.....and play calling will be critical in keeping Central's DE/LB's thinking instead of just reacting.

I don't see either team blowing out the other......but I do think Belfry....and their experience on the field and the sidelines will take over late in the game..... Much like we saw against Johnson Central and Cabell Midland .

Belfry 37
Central 28
