My Keys:

1. When the yards need to be gained; Belfry gained them, JC did not.
2. Matney was outcoached.
3. Belfry's D came to play.

Not related to the game, but on the post-game on the JC station I have never heard so many excuses.

*They couldn't get up two weeks in a row. -Championship teams can.
*Well when Matney came to JC it was about a State Championship. This game has nothing to do with that. -It had something to do with Belfry's aspirations?
*Belfry didn't have to play a tough game last week (West Carter) -JC did? (Ashland)
*JC was just flat all night and didn't get to their "peak". -That is what happens when you play a defense that doesn't give up 500 yards on the ground. It's a lot easier to get "pumped" when you're up by 50.


BTW where on earth are the 5A Rush defense's hiding? Someone should tell them it's ok to come to the field friday nights.

This was a great game to watch, and the better team won. Don't make any excuses. Good Luck to both teams in the playoffs.
