It is clear form Thompson's comments that he has been playing the "Hoosiers" card to his team all season as they have chopped down Blue Blood program after blue blood program. He even referred to "David vs. Goliath" even though his team has been ranked right with Belfry all year and they are favored by the computers.... he has his team bought into being a team of destiny and "being the best by beating the best" and you can bet money they are bleeding football and community pride right now with every waking second. If Belfry doesn't respect Wayne as being the new King of 3A it could be dangerous.

Thompson has sort of had to play the David vs. Goliath card his whole career even on Wayne's campus. Wayne County has always been a basketball school...even the AD is the basketball coach. Respect hasn't come easy in Wayne County, but they have everybody's attention around here now.
