I agree. You know our kids live just as hard. My goodness we're separated by what 15-20 minutes in distance? So, it's very crucial that our kids play smartly. A well coached team will play a physically tough and disciplined game. I know both of these teams are well coached. Sad part is, it only takes one or two players to blow it for either side.
I'm glad you got my point about 08. Knox was a totally different team in the playoffs. And honestly, Bell had everything to lose in that game. They had a lot more pressure on them than did Knox. But, the traditional power always has to bear that burden. It was a great game. I think Bell didn't play particularly well in the playoff game but by no means am I trying to take credit away from Knox. They came to play. It was a battle and Bell made one big play more than did Knox. I honestly think that game toughened up Bell and prepared them to battle and defeat Boyle the next week. Both Bell and Knox walked away from that game knowing they left it on the field.

Well said.
