[VELVET CLOSER]

Time to throw the schedules out the window. It’s one and done with all the chips pushed in come Friday. Anything can happen between the lines this time of year. You have two teams playing for the title.

Here’s how I see it. I’ve watched both teams. Bell co has some playmakers on offense that if not contained will make you pay. The QB can change the scoreboard quickly, more so with his feet then with his arm. He looks to run first pass second from what I seen. Bell will draw you in then hit you over the top of you get lazy or to aggressive playing the run. That’s kudos to Hilton and making the right play call at the tight time. Belfry will counter that with a very good defense, that is full of athletes that like to flat out hit. They play very fundamental and talk extremely well. Belfry just needs to keep everyone in front of them and keep playing D like they have.

Everyone in the state knows what Belfry is going to do offensively. The only problem with that is you have to have the horses to line up against it and be able to withstand the body blows all night long. It death by a 1000 cuts. They have backs that run extremely hard and with bad intentions, along with speed, speed and more speed. The offensive line is what makes Belfry click and they have gelled at the perfect time. Bell co will need to stop the fullback and be able to contain the edges. From what I have seen I just don’t think they will be able to withstand the pressure and stop the big running plays. Congratulations to both teams for making it to the finals. It’s going to be a fun week.
