Your good 55. No problem. I think with this old timer it takes longer for the information to filter through because of those marbles rolling around in my head, ha ha. From the way it looks, the Pirates should be right there in the post season and in the hunt for another one. Good luck next year good buddy!

I know the feeling my friend. My memory is not very good anymore either, Lol. Yeah the Pirates will still be very dangerous next season. If the Pirates can find a FB that can have half the season Hensley just had to go along with QB Coleman and a Mr. Football candidate, IMO, in Isaac Dixon then the Pirate offense will continue to be it's old self.

I think the O-Line will be ok. With three starters coming back with experience and a couple more big bodies waiting to fill the gaps made by graduation, Coach Tackett will have a solid group to work with next season. He seems to always field a very good offensive line no matter what he loses. That's a testament to his coaching ability. Coach Tackett may very well be the best O-Line coach in 3A, maybe even in the state.

Defensive line is what's going to kill Belfry next year. They lost more here than anywhere else. They lose all the starters and some of their backups as well. I have know clue what their going to do here. I'm not worried at all about the offense next year as long as Dixon and Coleman can stay healthy. Defense is going to be a major problem on Pond Creek next year. But they do have Seth Mounts and Rudy Blackwell coming back and they can build around them with the talent they still have.
