Considering that Johnson Centrals defense and offensive line were healthy, it really shocked me to see Belfry beat them like this. Even if JC would have had a couple of their running backs for this game, I don’t think it would have made that much of a difference. Belfry dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

JC's option offense, like Belfry's depends on precise timing and reads by the QB. If the timing is off, then the offensive line is not going to look very good. If the timing's off, drives will not be sustainable and the team's defense is going to spend more time on the field. Besides the injured running backs, JC was down at least three starters on defense as well. Belfry played well and beat the best team that JC could put on the field.

Maybe Belfry would have won the game had both teams been healthy, but I doubt that the game would have been so lop-sided. Either way, the game shows me that Belfry is capable of winning another 3A title this season because the Pirates always improve as much as any team in the state during the course of the season. Belfry seems to be ahead of schedule this year.

Sounds like a lot of excuses to me lol congratulations belfry.
