So your telling me that Sheldon Clark, Jackson County, Southwestern (yes the same team Belfry played), Pike Central didnt affect Belfry's statistics this year either? If Pike Central played Bell or Corbin, I'm picking either to desmantle them. I dont really understand why everyone is looking to discredit Wayne. Who really cares who is better on either side of the ball? It's not going to matter Friday who they played or who's schedule is better its going to come down to the players on the field. Largely its going to come down to turnovers, injuries, penalties and field position. Why do you guys want to get on here and tear down what a bunch of kids accomplished? I don't see Wayne County's fans doing that to your team. I see from your explaination that every key win of Wayne's was a freak of nature. Corbin, Bell, Central and PT were all smoke and mirrors and we have no shot against Mighty Belfry. Maybe your right, maybe your not but I'm not going to get on here and analyze your games, pick all the things that I find to discredit your team and call them a myth. No sir, I have more respect for your team and any team for that matter. I understand that Belfry is the statis elite for football in this state but you need to remember that other teams work just as hard to be successful as you guys do, Don't rain on others parade's just to make yourself feel better about your team. Like I said who cares...make your prediction and go on. Don't try to discredit the success of someone else.

You are being way too defensive to constructive criticism about Wayne's defense... for the record he does make a good point that neither PT, Bell, or Central would be considered any type of powerful offensive team by any stretch of the imagination. All three had well documented offensive struggles. He isn't trying to discredit Wayne or tear them down.. he is simply trying to create some banter based on his observations.

The rebuttal there is that what those teams lacked in offense they more than made up with their defense. Tilghman and Central were playing first rate defense down the stretch and I would even say they were both better teams by a significant clip than any school Belfry faced all season.. Bell wasn't a great defensive team..but they were still a solid defensive team on par with Harlan County... Wayne's offense lit up 2 of the three teams which speaks volume for their offensive firepower IMHO. It also speaks that unlike Belfry, Wayne has played some staunch defenses and prevailed while Belfry may actually be a bit un-tested and vulnerable.

People are simply trying to discuss the game and break it down.. because people have a different viewpoint and can do such is the sole purpose this site exists. If this were only "Good Game Wayne" "Good Luck Belfry" and My Prediction is Wayne 34 Belfry 20" then this site would be dead and noone would be here...it is the dialogue that keeps people actively involved.

Belfry fans have the utmost respect for Wayne County and have heaped praise their way not only these past couple days, but most of the season. I think there is a bit of a kindred mindset. I think Wayne has set the blueprint for how High School Athletic Director's should handle developing a program and being patient. I think it is an amazing story and until the highlights mysteriously vanished yesterday I had thoroughly enjoyed watching this team develop and analyzing all the things they do well.It is not often I can say that I see a team who is executing better from a fundemental standpoint then Belfry..but that is Wayne..they are truly the picture of consistency.
