You may or may not be right about CAK....but they were still very good....and could you have went on the road without 5 of your top players and won? No Justin Johnson, no Cameron Johnson or Horton or Austin Hatfield or X Willis. Not many teams could have overcome that and won the game.

The CAK team who played Belfry and made the change at QB also went on to reach the Quarterfinals in dominating fashion and was probably a Top 5 team in TN 3A... they lost to Belfry and twice to Alcoa who has obliterated every thing in their path.

Belfry went to CAK missing essentially their entire secondary and 2/3 of their backfield in what CAK viewed as a must win game at the time and took one.

I do agree though that Bourbon is a much better team than CAK (their passing game is the same, but better defense and a much better running game than CAK), but that Pirate team is a shadow of who Belfry really is.. even a spotty Belfry defense during the regular season was night and day from the unit who were forced to play that night in Knoxville.
