Would love nothing more than to see an all-mountain final.

Where Central will hang their hat next year is their defense as they return something like 8 starters and the vast majority of their 2 Deep. Losing QB Tajh Milliken is also a very understated loss on offense as he was a very underrated player.

Of the three losses to Central in the Finals, Belfry has been in position to win two of those games deep in the 4th Quarter. In 2007 the Pirates fumbled in the red zone driving for the game winning TD, and we all know how close they came this season. Central is the class of 3A until proven otherwise, but they are beatable if you execute and hold on to the football.
