I really don't know but I wonder if some know the difference between hurt and injured.

A wise man I know once told me about the concept of the "Loser's Limp", watching kids who aren't actually too injured to play limp off the field and not come back when on the losing end. I really can't imagine Belfry kids doing that, especially in a game that was still technically winnable (although listening to a lot of the second half, I got the feeling that 8 point lead seemed a lot bigger than it really was). But I think I get what you mean. Mental toughness and physical toughness are two very different things. I've always seen Belfry teams as being quite mentally tough. And I'm sure the winningest coach in Kentucky history will have a way of figuring who his mentally tough players are by playoff time. Honestly, if you want to repeat as 3A champs, sometimes a wake-up call doesn't hurt when some people out there might think you're cake-walking to another title. They can take this one to bed, let it hurt for a few days, think about what they can do to get better, and come back with new fire in their bellies. Respect to both teams.
