Agree my friend. This Friday is going to tell us alot about the Pirates. And I've said all along, when this backfield is healthy, they are one of the tops in the state. All I was saying, we can't use Dixon as an excuse Friday night if he doesn't play and we get beat. We are to deep in the backfield. Not saying you were implying that or that anyone was, just wanted to put it out there before someone started saying that Belfry is already making excuses. If the Pikeville Panthers come across the mountain Friday night and beat Belfry, then they deserve a congratulations not a bunch of "what ifs". And I'm sure you'll agree. We're not Mingo Central, we'll take our lose with some dignity. At least I hope we all do.

Oh I understand. Belfry Football stands on its own two legs, and always has. Expectations are high and they should be. I expect to see two quality teams decide the outcome on the field. Both teams have their pros and cons. Gonna be interesting.
