I think Belfry fasn need to keep their heads in check.... IMO, the playoffs for Belfry is alot like Thoroughbred Horse Racing.

Round 1 was like running a Derby Contender in a Maiden race. Maiden race's are pretty much the beginning for a horse and you find a mix bag of alot of horses that weren;t meant to be running in big races.

Round 2 was like a 64,000 allowance race. Better competition, the horses still look flawed.

Round 3 was like an ungraded Stakes race. A lot on the line and a chance to make a name, but the competition is inferior to what you will be facing for your final goal.

Now we move up to Graded 1 Stakes race that is a Derby prep. A huge jump of the horses going against you, better trained, much more speed, and a lot more variables.


Belfry is going to need maximal focus and effort for this one or it may get ugly. Russell wants revenge,,,and wants it so bad it hurts. Last year was supposed to be their year and they feel they fumbled it away (literally). The Devils play at their own firendly confides. Last season we never really stopped Russell's offense the whole game..we just outscored them and forced turnovers. Belfry has definate glaring weaknesses against a power running team. We have a huge target on our back now and we are also quick to forget we weren't supposed to be here...we have overachieved all season and our region was considerably down.

Call me negatvie but I think our dream of a 3-peat runs dry this week on the Tundra of Russell's field. Our overachievers finally taste defeat..but it spurs our young team to a dominating run through 2A next season with sooooo much talent coming back.

Belfry 20
Russell 28

Very nice break down. Never seen football compared to horse racing like that. But **** it makes alot of sense. I agree with you and your post. :rock:
