A few interesting facts.

The Belfry coaching staff has had a great run of success. Only Trinity and Highlands have been to the big dance more times than Belfry since 2003. Yes the last 4 trips have skewed the win percentage thanks to a very good Central dynasty from 2007 - 2012.

Phillip Haywood will coach in his 9th State Title (Belfry's 10th overall since 1979) game moving him up the list to tie Mayfields Jack Morris and NCC's Bob Schneider, a win will tie Schneider's 3-6 win-loss record in State title games. For comparison Dale Mueller (Highlands) will coach in his 14th State Title on Saturday and Joe Morris (Mayfield) will coach in his 7th.

DeSales continues a run of at least one Louisville school in the State Finals since 1996. At least one Louisville school has won a State Title in each year since 1996, DeSales is the lone team to try to continue that streak this year.
