To me, the QB was the most under rated player on that Central team and was the difference maker vs. Bell last year. Wales was thoroughly held in check until the end of the game when Bell had given up and broke a long run that accounted for most of his yards in the game. Also seem to remember Bell moving the ball with relative ease on Central throughout alot of the game, but like Lex Cath, shot them selves in the foot with unforced turnovers when they were in good scoring positions and putting together long drives. Central was outstanding to watch, but IMO, Bell can and could have beat them.

Milliken was simply outstanding vs Belfry in the Championship and essentially willed that team to victory.

With that said though, two things makes Central stand out and so tough to beat.

1. Obviously is their awesome defense. Their two LB's Francis and Styles may be #1 and #2 at the position in the state. They are tooo fast to get outside on and rarely miss tackles.

2. I warned Bell of this before their game last year as I have seen it first hand and sure enough it came back to bite Bell County as well. NO team in KY is more dangerous when you turn the ball over then Central. Not only do they typically convert on a short field, but they are the very best team in the state into converting turnovers into returns for TD's. They are the masters of the instant 14 point swing where a team drives deep into their territory and appear to be on the way to a TD, when suddenly they fumble and the ball is being scored on the other end.
