Just watched the 3a championship. Centrals offense couldn't do anymore than Russells. Central had good linebackers and secondary support that made good plays to slow Belfrey down. From what I see, Russell isn't that far off. Belfrey just had a very good defense. The only score Central had was a fumble recovery, and the only time they came close was at the end of the game when Belfrey was in a prevent defense. I hate that defense. Central almost scored.

Yeah, I agree. After seeing what Belfry's D did against Central, the sting of last week has subsided a little bit. That defense is just plain NASTY.

Russell just needs to continue to get stronger(that's becoming the theme of this thread). They should be stout and very physical next year. A verticle passing game(also a theme)would go a long way toward helping the Devils take the next step in 2015. Between Brewer and Brinkman, they have very capable playmakers in the passing game.
