Here's the keys...

For Belfry:
-The Role of Momentum: SC is coming into this game sky high, whereas Belfry looked ho-hum against Middlesboro. For the Cardinals there is no pressure, they were not supposed to be here, they are a decisive underdogs, and if they win then it will be one of the biggets victories in school history. For Belfry, chamionships are now expected and you have already beat this team handily...that's alot of pressure. Belfry has got to match the Card's intensity and play BELFRY'S GAME... SC will try to play stall-ball and eat the clock...Belfry has got to make big plays that drains the Cardinals.

- May/Chapman: As a collective unit Belfry's backfield may be the most underrated in the state, in particular are these two phneominal underclassmen. Matt Maynard single handidly ate the Cards for dinner in the first meeting so don't expect him to get the opportunity..it's going to be up to the fullback May and Chapman to play huge in this one. I honestly think of Belfry can run it up the gut with these two it will break the Card's spirit as their linemen are their strong spot.

-TACKLING: Without a doubt this is the biggest factor for Belfry. SC will try to drive that wedge and it puts tackling at a premium because it's harder to get a good clean shot on the backs. One missed tackle results in an additional 3-30 yards.... SC just wnats to get 3-4 yards a pop, keep Belfry's offense off the field, and put posessions at a premium.

-FUMBLES: We fumble the way we did last night and it is game over in this one..PERIOD


Belfry is faster, Belfry is deeper, Belfry is more experienced, Belfry has homefield advantage, Belfry has more athletic talent, Belfry has more tradition, Belfry has a legendary head coach, Belfry is the two-time defending champs, and yet Belfry REALLY has me worried in this one for some reason!
