Congrats to Central.

Way to go Yellowjackets! And this may have been the best game of the weekend, in my opinion. Great game by two great teams. Lots of sportsmanship displayed as well.

Congratulations to Central on winning state again and to Belfry on a very good season too. It is not known how much different the game would have been with Wales in, but this is a solid example about football being a team sport; both teams fought hard.

Dag I was yelling and screaming for the Pirates up to the very end.

 

Congrats to central on the win and to Belfry on a very good season.

 

This was one of the best games I have watched all season.

This one stayed close because of Wales being out for Central. JMO

 

I was totally off this year. I told everybody I thought Belfry would lose by 30 to Central + 20 to Bell. Belfry played Central way closer than Bell and proved their case that they are clearly the 2nd best team in 3A. Congrats to Central. Coach Scroggins has done a great job there. Congrats to Belfry! Everybody I know around there thought next year was going to be their year. Belfry preseason #1 next year IMO in 3A.

Do you think the outcome would have been more like your prediction (+20) if Wales didn't leave the game with a shoulder injury?

 

Later.

I think it would have been worse. Central did not even look like the same team when he went out.

The game was "way closer" because #2 wasn't playing. If Deuce would have been playing for the entire game, you would have seen a mirror score of the Bell game.

 

I will say this, #2 didn't get out of bed and decide not to play today. The Belfry defense took care of business with #2 right out of the box. Hard hits & unfortunate injuries are part of the game.

 

Congrats to Belfry on a great game!!

You are exactly right. That is all that I am saying too.

Congrats to Central the 3A Champs!

 

I was really hopeful that Bell, Belfry, or Fort Campbell could have pulled off the miracle in 3A instead of the city dudes winning.

 

Nothing but respect for Central; even without their best player, they did get the job done.

I would have loved to come to FT Campbell and played you guys this season. Maybe next year you guys can make it to Bell County during Thanksgiving.

There is no grounds to make that statement when Belfry did what Bell couldn't.... that is score. Wales doesn't play defense and Wales wouldn't have prevented the long TD pass or Belfry's drive to start the 2nd Half. Does Central have 4 TD's with Wales in the game? Maybe. But, nonetheless the Final would have been 28-14 and not 26-0.

 

 

Central was widely regarded as one of the Top 5 or 6 teams overall in the State, even without Wales that is a roster stock full of talent, the same OL, and the same dominating defense. Belfry was pounding the Central RB's in the backfield with 2 or 3 guys every play. Does Wales break some of those? Yeah..probably a couple. Does Wales go off for big yardage? Highly doubtful.

 

People are not giving a very tough and well prepared Belfry run defense enough credit for what they did today.

If Belfry is returning a lot of the players from today's game, I can't disagree.

That would be great!!
