Alright…I went back and watched the scrimmage from last night. Took some notes and here’s what I came up with.

Belfry has a really loaded backfield full of weapons.

There were multiple times plays were blown dead before a tackle was made, or a kid got lose, there were two guys there to make a play but the play got blown dead. After each team took a couple heavy hits to their QBs the whistle got really quick. Playing against an option team that got tricky. There is no way of telling who “won”. What I see from the film is two teams that absolutely fly to the football. Belfry was the aggressor early on, but it didn’t take long for that to change. Both teams played with a lot of aggression, but were also very poised in their approach. Both teams look the part of an experienced team. Both groups need to work on coverage as both got burnt a few times. Belfry missed some opportunities in the passing game. And with teams like Ocath, will have to get better defending downfield. Both teams really well downfield. Especially from the WR positions. Belfry looked like I thought they would, running that offense very well, very good upfront and super physical. My Rams surprised me with their over all team speed and the strength and toughness definitely improved from a year ago.

Prior to the game, everyone, myself included, had Belfry pegged as a team that could win 2A. That being said, Raceland looked a lot better, ino, than what a lot of us thought. We have a lot of depth as well upfront, which also surprised me.
