Belfry advantages:
-Everyone wants to question Belfry's schedule and rightfully so, but everyone also forgets that Belfry returns numerous key players who are 2 or 3 year starters who have played in monster games, including last year's state title game.

- Senior QB Andrew Elkins in his 3rd season as starter, over SC's Soph QB. The SC QB has great promise, but Elkins runs the game and offense at an elite level.

- Depth... in a big way...it is especially important in a physical game like this will be.

-Balance... Belfry by design will run the ball 90% of the time, but the Pirates have a stable of about 5 different backs with the ability to break it on any given play, this puts a TON of stress on the defense. Add in the fact that Belfry's passing game looks as good as ever with an experienced QB.

-History....Belfry returns alot (just as many if not more starters than SC) from a team who absolutely drilled SC twice last season. It is also worth mentioning that SC has only defeated Belfry a total of 3 times in school history, two of those being controversial upsets on the last play of the game. The Pirates will be focused for this game and will not be overlooking their first true test of the season, this has not bode very wll for SC in the past.

-Haywood... I'll take the teacher over the pupil anytime the stakes are as high as this one.

-Line play.... in a big way.

-Team speed.

If Sheldon Clark wins, every person will call it a fluke! Correct...
