I probably best get out of dodge before any belfry fans find out who I am. I've trolled there threads enough they may want to hang me.

I will point you out to the belfry fans for sure. :lmao:

[AtlPirateFan]

Ogadabu or however you spell it will be a factor in this game. I think he may be the best receiver in 3A and has three capable QBs to throw it to him. I think facing Amari Rogers earlier this year will help the Pirates prep for this young man. If he has a big game the Lex Cath had a big game

[PikevillePanthers62]

I love belfrys D especially their line Ray Horton is a force as well as Cole Bentley, they r big guys it's hard to block them. I would like to see a good game but I am for belfry all the way

You have to respect both teams to make it to where there at. Neither team wouldn't be where they are if they wasn't the best of the best in 3A. But I'm only coming up with 2 players that stick out above the rest. I've stated this in all my post and I'll state it again. "It takes a host of athletes all 11 on both sides of the ball." Belfry seem to have this going on. The Oline from end to end in most people's eyes the biggest and strongest in 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A. You get the point. The running backs are hitting the wholes. The QB has found his stride, he can read the belly, the dive, option and has a great arm what time he uses it. Lol.
Dline teams can't run on them, LB's come up and make the big plays. Secondary has improved 100% and will be better this Sunday.
I don't see this being a high scoring game for the simple reason of coach Haywood just wanting to put up a Win, and control the clock. Lex. Cath's offense will not see much field time.
Belfry 21 Lex. Cath 7
Haywood can run 4 QT's off a clock in 3 touchdowns

Several LexCath games in HD.


Quick Thoughts:
- Very good team that plays bend but dont break Defense and is absolutely lethal on Offense. Probably the best collection of WR's in KY outside of Male. Big play potential out the wazoo.
- Thompson is small for a QB but he is a treat to watch. Lightning in a bottle and throws a pretty ball. Can kill you with feet and his arm.
- Their RB would be a 1500 yard rusher at nearly every other school. LexCath is very small on the line for the most part..their RB is as big as a couple of their linemen.
- LexCath's Defense is tiny... probably the smallest Defense Belfry has seen this year. What they lose in size they make up for in quickness. Lightning quick and chase the ball well. Belfry literally will have about 50-55 pounds advantage up front though.
- Good special teams play. Solid and accurate kicker and super dangerous in the return game.
- JJ Ogbogu is a stud at WR. Not as good as Amari Rodgers, but the 2nd best WR Belfry has seen. The Morris kid is an elite #2 option. Knoxville Catholic may have had the best WR...but Morris is better than KnoxCath's #2 option.

Secondary had to play the game of their life and Belfry has to make plays with their 3 Down D-Lnemen.

I'll take the Knights... Simply because of the way the pirate fan base act.. that in itself says a lot that I'd pick a Lex school over a mountain school! I'm glad the kids act better than the adults, y'all ought to be proud... I expect it to be a high scoring game... I don't suspect either team will be able to stop the other on D.. Belfry is far and away better on O than D. Defense for Belfry not that great. 42-35 Knights

:eyeroll: well, alright then. Do you really think any Belfry fan cares what a sore loser attitude Breathitt county can thinks. You've made your point clear in several threads.I'm glad you made your pick this way because everyone you've made has been wrong from Boyle winning it all to Corbin beating Belfry.

[pjdoug]

Not saying they shouldn't be respected. Most of the posters on here are just pointing out the obvious. Belfry is a ground and pound O that keeps an offense off the field well due to their long clock eating drives. They're very capable of blowing past you with speed (Willis) when it's there, but will take 3-4 yards every time too. Lex Cath can't score if they're on the sidelines. For comparison, last team they played like that was Johnson Central. How did that end up for Lex Cath?

that's true ,but isn't Lexington Catholic a little better than they were earlier in the year when they lost to Johnson Central?

Go Belfry

I think he was talking to me. I will admit I got off topic with the Breathitt fan, my bad

No problem, Thanks

You think LC is 21 points better sense they played JC. Nope not that much better. But I'm not basing belfrys win on that game. Way to many factors than that. If you line them up position against position Belfry out does LC.
belfry's TE to LC EC
T to DT etc. it's not a very good match up for LC.

[Jack Lambert]

They are light years ahead of where they were when they played Johnson Central.

[EKUAlum05]

They are much better since they played JC from what I saw especially on Defense.

[Football Junky]

Seen both teams this year. Catholic lately has got its mojo going on. Belfry is very good and they do what they do very well with their D and their ground game. I think JOhnson Central and Belfry have very similar Defenses. Lex cath is a different team from when they played JC. Catholic has played several very good teams in 5A and 6 A. I saw catholic play recently and was mostly impressed with their Defense. When they played JC, they didn't play with their middle linebacker and he's a stud. Lex cath's defense swarms to the ball and is one of the fastest teams on defense I have seen in a while. I think a lot of the Belfry fans don't realize that catholic defense can force Belfry to punt some. I think Belfry will be shocked on how fast catholic is at almost every position. When catholic played JC their QB now didn't play until The game was basically over, and with his running ability and all those speedy backs and receivers they will put up some points. The two big d tackles/ends for belfry are really good, but Catholic has a better off line then they think (tackle 6"4 270, guard 6"3 300 & move well). Gonna be a good matchup. Too close to call this early in the week.

Well, you never look at regular season matchups vs. a common opponent for a read on someone your playing for a State Title. LexCath will present alot of problems for Belfry and Belfry will present alot of problems for the Knights.

I am sure that each team will know pretty much what the other will do by the end of the week. There will be adjustments made on both sides of the ball once the game starts progressing. LexCath is a pass oriented offense and Belfry is the polar opposite with the run game, but Belfry will pass when they need to.

If Belfry gets a lead, LexCath better worry because Belfry will control the clock with the run game. Like I said earlier, the Pirates are more than happy to get 3-5 yards per carry and chewing up that clock and keeping the chains rattling.

If LexCath is allowed to get into their offense, then Belfry better worry because a fast paced game is not Belfry's forte'.

It will be a good match-up and I am looking forward to being there to see it.

Go Pirates!

I can do my own thinking. I'm sure they improved.

I thought so too, or they wouldn't still be playing.

They are not as big and physical as Belfry,but they are quick and have speed all over the field.the contrasting styles should make for a great game.

[Pirate1991#8]

But belfry is big and fast. I just don't see LC defense doing anything against Belfrys offense. I see us running at will. They might be Better than JC since they played them. But I bet you they haven't played anybody as physical since JC. I'd say Central was the most physical. And LC didn't like it. But Come Sunday they are gonna get it. The Boys in Red are Fired Up.

[99PIRATEFAN]

Yes there are and we are much better than we was early on.

Best team Catholic played this year was Cooper. They were very physical! Boyle and Central along with JC were also. Catholic has much improved and will probably stack the box a try to force Belfry to the air some. If they can do that a few series early then they will probably win. They fumbled 4 times in the first half against Central and still won. They moved the ball on them as well just kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Sorry but Boyle is not Physical. No disrespect. I hope they do stack the box. Everybody does. And we still win. In other words. We have figured out the whole stacking the box and subbing tactics

Boyle was more physical than Central. Where did you get Boyle wasn't physical from?

[baseball1974]

This game will most likely be within a touchdown at halftime either way. However, I think the X-factor shows-up in the second half, that being Coach Haywood. He's probably the best "in-game adjustments" coach in the state. With that in-mind, look for the second half to have belfry controlling the clock with the run-game, which will in-turn have LC try to overcompensate that by trying to score more quickly, which leads to a lot of 3-and-outs for LC in the second half. Belfry wears down the defense and picks up another state title with a two-to-three touchdown advantage.

[MountainSports]

Idk where he got Boyle isn't physical. But I can guarantee you central was physical too!
