[MCDADDY]

This is Belfry team is practically the same one that went wire-to-wire against the '02 state champs until a few desperation passes by the Pirates were returned for TDs. Final score was 21-0, but it was only 7-0 with 1:30 left in the game.

The difference is that these Pirates are a year older now, and David Jones replaced Jonah Caudill in the backfield giving the Pirates a more reliable runner.

I give the edge to the Pirates in this due to one reason. Paul Howard would have been able to keep the Breathitt Co. D honest by throwing to Clifton Hatfield, David Jones, Zane Smith, & Doug Howard when needed. At all other times the Pirates would run the ball efficiently.

I guess you forget that the reason it was 7-0 with 1:30 left was because the game was played in a mud pit. Play on a neutral field anywhere else in the state and Breathitt wins the same game by 30+.
