Agree to disagree, I feel if Storm would have played in the 1st half we may have had a better chance to cash on some of those early opportunities and it could have blown open in our favor. Except for four plays the defense didn't play bad. The play calling was questionable at best, why we were exclusively pass with our best receiver out of the game in the 1st half is beyond me. I'm not trying to make excuses for Somerset they didn't deserve to win the game last night and I'm not trying to say that Somerset gave the game away. I'm just saying that if these two teams played on a neutral field 10 times that Somerset would take more.

Again I'm not trying to knock on Belfry or the effort they put forth at all they are definitely the best team we played this year and I would love to see them bring home another state title, but that is just my opinion.

Fair enough. So unless I'm reading with red-tinted glasses, you're saying the Somerset you saw all year wasn't the one you saw last night? I can see what you are saying and wouldn't even attempt to argue that because that was the first time I've seen Somerset this year.

Its fair to say you've seen them play better, be more balanced, have better play-calling, etc. I've said it plenty of times about Belfry teams in years past.

I just think that if we throw every woulda-should-coulda, if-buts-nuts aside, and focus on only what happened this past Friday night the better team won.

When you lose the turnover battle, particularly as a time-of-possession type offense, albeit in the state semi-finals. How do you still win if you aren't the better team?????
