Just curious, how many times did each team get penalized and for how many yards? I was there and it seemed Belfry was penalized meat more than JC. No excuses though we just got beat by a team who ran the ball down our throats! The middle of our defense has been soft defending the run all season. If we don’t make changes on the DL and and figure out who the best 2 ILBs are then we exit the playoffs early! This Belfry team has no heart! Example #13 for JC got hurt (ankle) in the first qtr and hobbled the rest of the game but never missed a play! #59 for Belfry gets an ankle injury and is done for the night, even comes back out in street clothes! Yes this game essentially meant nothing but it sure was telling! Our boys don’t lay it on the line and push through pain! I hope it gets better and the changes get made!

Agree and disagree with this post. 59 is not the most mobile of players anyway...if plans for him to go to the D line and Mounts to LB are what is going to happen, then he needs to be healthy. Whether or not that happens I guess we will see this coming Friday. I actually thought BHS toughed it out considering that arguably your two best defensive players (Cook and Coleman) were not even dressed. I totally understand your point about being tough, but this was just a pride game and historically Belfry has been very conservative when deciding to play injured players. For example, my sources tell me Coleman has been cleared to play, but they held him. Fine with me, and hopefully he is good to go Friday.

Injuries and sickness are just part of it. Ben Bentley had been real sick and I thought he played solid.

I guess I like to focus on the positives. The fact that Webb, basically a little used soph HB has filled in great at FB the last two weeks and believe me he does not have the FB build but he sure as heck runs like one. And if you look at a depth chart he would be the fifth FB if you go by what we had at the beginning of the year. He carried the ball 25 times last night.

The O line continues to impress. I think they have played awesome all year with Huntington being the only game they didn’t dominate.

Here’s a couple of head scratchers for me...Does Peyton Hensley play again? He had been out since week 3 and is not even in a boot according to one of his classmates, but he limps badly. I don’t see him playing again this year.

Does Mounts get to play LB? I think prolly so and if so who will go to D line. Ideally it would have been Fields but who knows.

I do know one thing for sure...I was walking by the locker room on my way out after the game and they, the team, was getting ripped and I mean ripped. I won’t say by whom but it wasn’t pretty.

I know I’m ready for the playoffs and hopefully they will be too.
