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.

This pretty much sums up a lot of what I thought about the game. It was all laid on the table for LC to get the win and although they played hard they couldn't get it done. I would be real concerned about the lack of a rushing game. One Wildcat play for 35 yards and Kiser for a couple of 5-9 yard gains was it.

Double-gg or whatever his stage name is has a right to his opinion, but you could feel the hurt in his post. To say Belfry has lost their swagger is way off base...Find me any other team that could have as much talent as Belfry had on the sidelines last night not available to play and still win a game as big as this one was. If I was LC, and if there is a second game, I would be real concerned about facing a healthy Belfry on Belfry's home field.

I would be real concerned about Ray Horton dominating my offensive line.
I would be concerned that two little Belfry players, Caleb Elkins 143 pounds and Chase Dove 165 pounds had back to back sacks.

So much respect for the effort by LC, but they were a whipped bunch at the end of that game. They have to improve a lot IMO to keep a second game close if these two meet again.
