It is crazy to me when I see people throw out the "Mother Nature" defense in regards to an excuse of why someone loses. Sports are just as much mental as they are physical. Teams that do not emphasis the mental part of the game during the season and pre-season are usually the teams that you will see blaming games on "Mother Nature." One thing Haywood has always been able to get his teams to do is play their game regardless of distractions. The weather has always been an issue during state title games, and the reason belfry won is because they were able to address the things mentally that they couldn't control and still find a way to win. I think the belfry/central matchups are great because Central is also a mentally tough team, and they seem to be able to find ways to win regardless of anything that happens. Should be the best game out if the six in my opinion.
