Donât know anything about highlanders. Belfry is tough at home, but Highlanders will have abundance of talent.

Wright and Tim Couch are the two highest rated national recruits BHS has played against unkess my memory is just wrong. If anyone knows anyone ranked higher than these two let us know.

I don't know much about the rankings in the mid 90s but Couch was a top 5 national recruit regardless, maybe number 1 overall and Wright is a consensus top 5 recruit in the nation so I'm gonna guess you are correct lol. Shawn Alexander might have been a top 5 nationally ranked recruit when he was at Boone County but I don't know if Belfry faced him or not.

He is lightning fast no doubt.
This is an extremely difficult opener for this Belfry squad. Huntington is loaded with talent and depth. Belfry is already nursing some unfortunate injuries, that at least on the surface would appear to shift the tide of the game more towards Huntington. Iâve said from the get go....Belfry has to avoid the injury bug. Thereâs not a tremendous amount of depth on his team. At least not right now. That may change as the season unfolds.
Defensive line and secondary will be tested mightily. IMO, LBâs will be fine....especially if we can keep the OL from crashing out to that level.
Belfry will put up a valiant fight.... but I believe Huntington takes control of the game by mid way thru 3rd qtr.

Thereâs not a Belfry fan on the planet who wouldnât take that scenario. And love it. No disrespect intended...... if this were to happen, that would mean the Pirates would have vanquished the heavily favored Boyle Co. Easier said than done.

I tried to see but couldnât find it so I canât answer that question BelfryPride. I no that Bobby and the coach will be doing it and the do a real good job. I hope to be at this game and watch the Pirates and hope they win but we all know Coach Haywood just wants them to get better each week and a loss now donât define the season.Going to be a good one to watch.

WYMT usually carries the PCB games. Haven't found the link yet but sure it will be up sometime today.

Not a lot of talk so far about this team or game. Weâre still on page 1. It will be interesting too see how this Belfry OL and DL handle the size and athleticism of Huntingtonâs lineman. Gonna be a stiff challenge. May be the best âcollectionâ of big guys Belfry will face all year.

Definitely will be but Johnson Central has a big line also maybe not as talented. There is not a lot of talk on here from the Belfry fans have no idea what the problem is. Right about the stiff challenge, I am interested to see how Belfry stacks up against these guys too. Hope for an injury free game for both and a good game.

I agree. Where are all the Belfry fans? Have they abandoned ship after last years early exit from the playoffs?
I'm going with Huntington in this one. I don't know much about them, but I'm assuming others know what they are talking about when they say Huntington will be deep and talented. If that is the case, Belfry will have their hands full.

Ha! No one has "Jumped Ship" as much as you all would hope for that. Some people have other things going on in their life than sitting on a website for 12 hours a day. I am on because I am allowed to do so where I work. Some people cannot.
Anyway, I am here. haha that's all you need! :biggrin:
From what I gather, Huntington's QB is a D-1 prospect and has mad skills. He will probably give Belfry's backfield fits if it has not improved from last report. We will see. I have no idea about either of them at this point. Regardless of a win or loss, Belfry will learn from it and get better. Not concerned, Haywood is the man.

I think Huntington is going to run away with this one. Their defensive line is big, strong and fast. I see Belfy having a lot of trouble blocking them. With that said I expect Belfrey to battle back and be stronger latter part of the year.

He’s either the #1 or #2 Tackle in the country with offerers from pretty much any school he wants including BAMA, Georgia and so on

Not me BelfryPride I am one of those 12 hours a day guys but I love it, sometimes itâs nice to be old. I was worried too, but itâs right now getting to be in full swing. I will be there to watch the Pirates tonight to see where they stand. Hope for a win but like you said Coach will bring them around 1 game at a time. Good luck tonight and hope for a injury free game for both teams
