Congrats to Belfry on winning the 3A state championship.

I watched this game and have since re-watched this game, because after reading most of this thread I felt like I had missed the game that most talked about on here.

Belfry's defense while very good, they did not stop Wayne. Wayne stopped Wayne. Guffey's passes were on the mark and his receivers dropped 10-12 passes that hit them in the numbers. Defense does not cause dropped passes. They may break up a pass with a hit, but defense has nothing to do with dropped passes. We can say whatever we want, however if it was simply cold and not wet who knows what would have happened with those passes, but no need to get into the what if game.

Belfry had some opportunities to move the ball and did at time, however, when Wayne needed a stop they got it done.

My point is simply this, if these two teams played 10 times Wayne would win 5 Belfry would win 5. Two evenly matched teams.

But don't tell me how Belfry's D was the difference, I'm not buying it.

Holding a team to ZERO points and 200 yards is a great defensive effort...Guffey is indeed a great player, but he was not great at all yesterday...He did not have the greatest help, as you pointed out from his receivers, but he was way off target on some of his throws. He literally threw the ball right into the Belfry defenders hands 4 times at least and Belfry picked off two and dropped the others. On the dropped TD at the end of the first half, Guffey needed to not wait to throw the ball...his receiver should have caught the ball no doubt but the ball was thrown with a "dart" motion and caused the receiver to have to bend a little bit to catch it. Also Guffey needed to change his ball flight... But can't imagine throwing in those conditions....Great Wayne team just not good enough yesterday.
