It sounds like everything that needed to happen for Lawrence to win this game happened? Everyone kept saying if LC gets a couple of breaks and if Belfry shoots themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers, that Belfry would lose this game? I'm really impressed that despite everything that happened on the field as well as not having starters in key positions, and them playing on the road, that Belfry was still able to win this game by two touchdowns. It really speaks to the championship atmosphere that has been created there. Championship teams and championship programs are able to face adversity and still find a way to win. One part of their team is having a rough game and so certain players step up and put them on their back, and that is what good teams do. It says a lot about the mental toughness of those players and the job that Haywood, the community, the fans, the administration, assistant coaches, and even veteran players that have been great examples for younger kids coming up, have done to help develop and "buy-in" to the overall goal and atmosphere. All of that, I think, is why Belfry was able to overcome every opportunity they gave up last night and still have a convincing win over a solid Lawrence County team, and is also why they are always a contender in their class and have the ability to beat anyone.
