[Objective]

You said it was an act of Mother Nature that Belfry won the title...that's false. Belfry was certainly better equipped for a rainy day because they were a better running team, but if anything that weather kept it closer than it should have been in Wayne's favor.

Wayne had not had a team all year who could take away their running game and Belfry did just that. Guffey had not had a team all year who could take away his mobility and force him to beat them with accurate throws in the pocket on 3rd and Long. THAT was the single biggest reason Belfry won. You can point to dropped passes, but Sani Warren missed two wide open TD's he usually hits. Dry field Belfry wins that game in the range of 28-14 or 31-14.

People act like Wayne suddenly forgot how to play football in the rain. They beat Central that year in the Regional Finals in a cold downpour and not a soul was complaining about the weather then. Belfry won because they controlled the game's tempo and never gave Wayne the chance to build momentum and find balance. Truth be told Bourbon County impressed me more than Wayne County. Bourbon had more offensive playmakers and a pretty good defense. Wayne was better defensively, but the offense of Bourbon to me was much more dangerous and balanced.

weather played a factor ....rainy day haha it was an ice storm
