[The Contrarian]

Not sure I would put much stock into that.....much like this year, Belfry and SC are two different animals.


Lets apply this logic to matchups this season. SC beat Belfry in the regular season, yet could not stop Russell. By your logic Russell should have defeated Belfry, instead Belfry dominated the Devils.

As I said, Somerset most certainly should be the favorite based on their body of work this season and the fact they are the reigning Semi-State Champion. But I feel very safe saying that the Belfry vs. Somerset matchup from 3 years ago, or the SC vs. Somerset matchup from last year will play no role in the outcome of this game.

So true! Each game stands on its own. Moreover, what has happened against like opponents just does not matter. Excellent example, Sheldon Clark beating Belfry in regular season play, and then what happened with Russell.

Further, these "technical wins" maybe something to discuss over coffee, but they are absolutely and unequivocally meaningless. The game Friday night is between Somerset, November 26 team and Belfry November 26 team, nothing more, nothing less.
