Humfleet is special. It will certainly be a difficult task for Middlesboro. Luckily for Middlesboro, Bell's line is young and inexperienced. But still, I'm of the mindset of Middlesboro's defense that I won't believe it's better until I see it. So we'll see.

Saw both teams last night and Bell is by far the most physical and if they have half a brain they will run the ball all night and we will never stop Humfleet. Bell by 28

Didn't see bell but Middlesboro looks to be improved still has some work to do I think the gap has narrowed but not sure how much guess we will see Friday night
08-13-2016, 05:42 PM
Middlesboro most definitely. With no work during the off season, bell is not ready for what Middlesboro is going to bring. A pretty big line and pretty decent skills the o for Middlesboro will score a few good points. The d for Middlesboro does need more intensity but they should be fine with bell having a young line. Middlesboro 28-20

I don't know what you're on but it must be some good stuff. Granted I didn't get to see any of the bobcats play but I did get to catch Middlesboro and yeah they have their kinks but with everything that has been going on I highly doubt the Bobcats are a 25 point difference team -_-

I'm not sure middlesboro can stop the Bell County rushing attack. Bell county is usuall more physical and I think they will be again this year.

I am not sure what Middlesboro team most of you are talking about? The one I saw last night may be the worst I have saw in 30 years. The line is small and weak on both sides. It looked like a rec league team, give the ball on a sweep and let the best athlete do something outside. How many yards were gained otherwise? 1 pass play on a post when W'burg miss aligned with safety. They had 4 downs inside the 5 and could not get a yard. Only gain came from penalty , half the distance. I was right there when the best running back started mouthing to his O/L. Their def will not be able to stop running water, they are so small and inexperienced. If you are going on score alone and did not see the game last night, Williamsburg has fallen of the map to what tyhey were a few years back. With that said , Herron continued to throw the ball all night, when he could have run threw them like water.
We will not be as good as we were last year, but we will never be as bad as Middlesboro is right now.
Bell 42-14

I am not so sure you will NEVER be as bad as we are. Next year will be hard. But, this is this year. I agree with what you said, but anything can happen.
I see Bell has a lot of injuries, if they are not back may be closer than most think. Humfleet is the difference maker. He could have 300 yards with our defense.

I hear are a couple of posters saying Middlesboro is nothing without Williams. What is Bell without Humfleet? I can't help but laugh when people say all you can do is run the ball with your best player. I mean yeah, that's going to kind of be the idea all season. Give it to our best player in space and see if the other team can match up with him athletically. And when teams start overcompensating outside which they will have to do in order to fully contain him, that's when we gain an advantage inside that we wouldn't normally have.
And why would anyone judge last nights scrimmage on score alone?
Also, didn't Middlesboro also score on a pass?
Middlesboro has beaten Bell in 2 of the last 3 meetings and I think Bell is the favorite due to sheer numbers/depth. I do not think it will be a blowout. Either way, you have my vow that I will be here to talk about it afterwards.

If you think Middlesboro is the worst you've seen in 30 years then you clearly didn't watch them last year. By far the worst team in school history, one of the worst teams I've ever seen line up. Last night Middlesboro showed they were DRASTICALLY improved. I think more than anything that is just a testament at how bad they truthfully were. However, that being said as bad as it hurts me to say it, I DO think Bell wins next week.
Bell is down.
Middlesboro is down-er.

How in the world did you get that they looked worse last night than they did last year? If i am not mistaken they only won one game last season. So you're saying Friday night when they give Bell a game that Bell is the same caliber team as "The worse team in 30 years"? Beating Bell is simple stop The run game.
08-14-2016, 03:04 AM
What makes them better. The defense is worse. QB can throw a little but can not even come close to what Elliot did on the ground last year. OL is worse, backs just a little better. What I saw last night was not better, at all.
Record will be the same. May win 1 game, maybe!

People keep saying Bell has injuries only 1 kid is banged up. Also they are not young lots of Srs and JRS. They will however overcome the coaching and still beat the jackets. The FB and HB for Bell will be more than they can handle it however will be high scoring because Bell's defense is not very good. Soft and look confused. Why is the Thompson and Asher not involved on offense???

I don't think we can run the ball with our best player. We sweep outside and hope he makes people miss. Nothing will open up inside, OL is to weak for that. Defense wins and it is not near as good as last year.

Are you kidding? Small line? Weak? What work did bell put in this summer? What coach did they have to help get them stronger? What team have you ever heard of not put in work during the summer and actually be successful? All I'm saying is Middlesboro is going to surprise people this year. It'll be close but not a blow out. Obviously you don't know football.

I respect your opinion I just disagree with it.

Thanks, just my take and could be wrong.

It is not. That said, while I wouldn't have used the word drastically, I do think there was an overall better team on the field last night. Starting defense didn't allow a point (I'm not counting the TD when Williamsburg started the drive on the 1 yard line after a turnover). Once QB got settled in he looked like an upgrade. Size is better on both sides of the line. Deeper at skill positions. More skilled at skill positions. Much better kicker.
