Only time will tell. Playoffs got tough and Bell's ability to turn to their all state kicker got them through the Regional Championship. Take away the two field goals and KC wins 14-13. Take away the fourth quarter field goal in Boyle semi-final and Boyle wins by a point. Bell will have to be that much better or their opponents weaker.....because the kicking game gave them a great advantage in the close games. Under tough conditions, Merrick missed his first attempt in the finals...and never got a chance to redeem himself. However, the second half 51 yd. punt to the eight yd. line set up the safety that proved to be the winning margin. Hopefully, Bell's special teams can answer the call down the stretch. Made a huge difference on the 2008 run to the title.

So far the punting game and kickoff's have been good for Bell. I think Madon has done a good job at working at it. The Coaches have made sure that it is a priority and Madon has worked very hard at it. The XP/FG continues to be a concern but I would think John Dudley will get better at as the season goes on, Coach H will not let the XP team be a weakness. :Thumbs:
