Final Prediction:

Very close, hard hitting game in the first half. Belfry's run defense stymies Russell, but Devils get a couple big plays through the air. Belfry has success on ground, and continually are set-up in good field position thanks to their defense. Belfry scores a late TD to enter the Half up 14-10.

In the 2nd Half the Pirates slowly start wearing down the Devils starting with an opening drive that just milks clock and demoralizes Russell as they see the lead swell to 21-10. Russell becomes more reliant on the pass and Belfry's "Secondary with alot of holes" benefits from "the slow defensive linemen" who cause pressure and create a couple turnovers. Pirates ice it with a late score.

Belfry 28
Russell 10
