Fort Frye 21 @ Belpre 35 Final

[EasternDspy]

Anyone know why Fort Frye is traveling to Belpre 2 years in a row?

[mister b]

My guess would be that both schools wanted it this way for budgetary reasons to even out the revenue from year to year.

FF had 6 road games last year, both Belpre and Waterford were on the road.

Playing Belpre on the road again while hosting Waterford this year gives them a good, solid home gate every year.

Also, it would appear to be the same for Belpre since they should be at both FF and Waterford this season.

Revenue flow is my guess. Other than that, who knows. JMHO

Eagles had them beat last year until Manney got hurt and Chandler Lang took over for the Cadets. Manney is healthy now and thankfully Lang has graduated as he was a great player for Fort and the reason they were so successful.I think Belpre returns enough players to win this year and look for an opening day victory over the Cadets.

I wouldn't say Fort Frye only won because Manny got hurt. In the 2nd half Fort scored on every drive including a sweet 70 yard TD by Shuster. It's hard to win when you allow 41 points that being said Belpre is huge favorite in this one and I wish it was later in the yr because Fort Frye has loads of talent they just need experience. I think they will 40-45 players this yr. They return 4 lineman who played a lot all Srs- Wittekind (4 yr starter) , Levi Baker (3 yr Starter) , Luke Yates (3 yr stater), Brandon Close (3 yr starter). Also 2 jrs that made starts last year in Gerran Knotts and Zach Hupp. 2 skills players that didn't play last yr return in RB Jr Tanner Rice and WR Devin Waterman. QB will most likely by the coaches brother Terran Huck who is decent passer. 3 best players will be SO Garrett Lockery QB/Wr/RB who could see snaps as a running QB. Derek Layton Jr fb/LB and team leader. The breakout star and stud will be SO Brady Carptenter who will play Chandlers LB spot and lead the team in rushing.

Fort Frye gets a transfer out of Cincinnati a RB by the name of Baker. I'll post more later.

Dad is Chad?

[EasternDspy]

I'm not sure his cousin Levi Baker started at Right Tackle last yr and is a Sr this yr.

[EasternDspy]

Kids name is Clay Baker he's a sophomore and will play RB/WR from what I hear he's a pretty good player.

Fort Frye looked sharp vs Parkersburg In the passing scrimmage.

Should be a fun one. I'm not sure Fort has the speed to beat Belpre. They are deep and I think they will have huge advantage in the trenches.

Don't know how deep they are since they still have only 27 players but they have a lot of talent on offense and should be able to score some points. They are still a very young team with only 1 senior,Manney Tullius and they still have a lot of work to do on defense. JJ Huddle has them listed as a team to watch in DVl and predicts them to go to the playoffs as the 7th seed.I think it will be a close game and I see Belpre winning by a touchdown if they can play decent defense.

[EasternDspy]

Sorry I meant Fort Frye is deep and should have a huge advantages in the trenches. I saw then rotating at WR, RB , FB without a huge drop off. Last night Lockery, Lewis , Close , Layton , Baker , and Carpenter all saw carries. I think they have way more skills guys this year but do not have a stud like Lang. That being said they have a nice line off Baker SR, Yates Sr, Wittekind Sr, Winters Jr , and Knotts Jr. They still have at least 3 solid backups on the line 2. I think the Cadets will try to slow the game down and smash it but they do have a nice wr core in Rice jr, Waterman jr , Lockery So , and Lewis So. I'm excited to watch these boys develop. Fort has 44 players I believe. Should be a good early test for both.

I hear that the Eagles are very explosive. Hear the skill players can score at any time a d that you cant stack the box on them to stop the run cause you have to respect their Qb 's arm and the speed of their wide out. Should help their run game out.

How did belpre do in the jamboree?

How did belpre do in the jamboree?

Scoreless for almost 3 quarters although Belpre had a couple of chances to score inside the red zone and didn't take advantage of them.Also dropped a wide open pass down the right sideline. Wirt missed an opportunity in the red zone also but managed to score on a QB draw with about 1 minute left to win the Varsity session 6-0. Belpre 2nd team won the 4th quarter against Wirt's JVs 6-0.

[EasternDspy]

I'm just not sure if Belpre will be able to stop Fort Frye from getting 5 yards a carry. This one will come down to who makes mistakes. I think Belpre will have the advantage there since it's Millers 3rd yr starting. I'll take Eagles 21-13

I hope your right.

Good luck and good health to both teams.

LETS GO EAGLES!!!
