Weird game. 56-20 Belfry at the half, starters rested the 2nd half and Clay County was good enough to cut it to 20. They also held their own in the first half. It was 14-14 before Belfry got up 56-20 at halftime.

Belfry will host Bell County next week.

Clay never pulls their starters in the 2nd half.   Why??   I’m sure there were other kids who would have liked to have gained some level of playoff experience ….even in a losing effort.      Pitiful.

Belfry's starters didn't play in the 2nd Half with the running clock. Clay played their varsity until the final whistle and scored twice on the Belfry JV. Also one of Clay's scores came thanks to a fumble recovery that was on the verge of being a TD for Belfry but a Clay player reached out and got just enough of the ball as Woolum was about to break it. 

Game probably would have been 70-20 if Belfry had played their starters. 

All this score tells me is Belfry, Bell, and Rockcastle appear to be very even teams and it is going to come down to matchups.
