Belfry has some good pieces to be successful on offense. Belfry's never going to have an elite secondary, but this should be a very solid secondary from talent standpoints and conventional Belfry standards.

Their season will be determined by the Front 7 on defense. The way Belfry plays defense they have essentially 4 LB'ers... those 4 spots are without a doubt the single biggest factor on whether Belfry is a contender to reach the State Finals or a pretender. The inability to get off blocks, bad angles, missed assignments, and generally getting out manned at the LB spots on the whole was Belfry's Waterloo last season and the year before.

Belfry should have the coaching and the offense to be a threat to make the Semi-Finals, but none of that matters if the teams they may see in Round 2 or Round 3 can gain 5 yards per carry at will because they simply cannot stop the run consistently in late game situations.

i think 3/4 lb'ers return, losing dre young but returning deskins austin and davis.... davis really impressed me last year.

I agree that Belfry will be solid upfront especially offensively, but where will the offense come from. Woolum and Young combined to score way more than half of Belfry’s total points last year. I understand that the QB coming back healthy will help, and the Caudill kid will bust a couple. But I just don’t see that big play kid offensively. Against really good offensive teams they just haven’t been able to keep the pace since they haven’t had that Dixon type player, and I thought Young and Woolum were both very good players. Actually I’d love to have seen Woolum in an offense where he was used primarily as a receiver type kid. Anyway, some of you guys closer to the program, who’s your thoughts on who will replace those kids offensively?

theres a second woolum who has a lot of expectations plus JJ Austin will take over at fullback, not sure where cayden varney slots in but hes very athletic
