First, congratulations to Central.
Now, I want to say that this is by far one of THE best high school football games I've ever watched. The Pirates went into this game as the underdog. The statement was even made in another post/thread that they should just stay home and have their runner-up trophy mailed to them! Well, the proved that without a doubt, they COULD play with central. Not taking anything away from Wales, but he had 2 carries for -1 yards. Belfry had him from the start. The PIRATE defense was amazing. Those young men left everything they had on the field yesterday and I do think have finally earned some respect that is LONG overdue! For example: They have been ranked behind the likes of Bell and Breathitt all year long. For this young group to end up where they were and to play like they did, they deserve respect! I know there will be some out there that are just flat out Belfry haters and thats fine, but NOW some know that the Pirates this year were for real. They came to play and Central had to earn their victory.
