The o-line can’t block everyone when they stack the box. Develop a slight passing game and maybe you could run the ball. Can’t throw the ball 2 to 3 times a game and only when the other team knows you have to pass and expect it to work

And the time keeper was absolutely ridiculous as was a few of the spots.

Belfry has been doing this since Haywood has been there. Won 7 championships with this exact same mindset and is one of the most respected programs in the state. 

There won’t be a passing game in Pond Creek until Haywood hangs it up.

I agree with you here Spud. Belfry Offensive Lines have been facing "stacked boxes" for the last 40 years. It's just the way it is. The Pirates rarely pass and everyone knows it but they've still won 7 championships despite this. Belfry does expect it to work and it has for the last 30 plus years.

Tonight Ashland just outplayed Belfry and seemed to want it a little more, plain and simple. Belfry is a running football team. Its the way their built. They live by the run and die by the run and have had great success doing it. Ashland stacking the box wasn't the reason Belfry lost tonight, Ashland was just better tonight. Congrats Tomcats and good luck the rest of the way.
