I tried to tell all my pirate faithful not to take these boys lightly. I knew Belfry would not blow right past there guys. This team like I said was really quick, and that killed us. Ryan Preston played a excellent game. Two picks when we needed them, a couple good solid receptions, good coverage. But in the end, I knew we would have trouble with thier speed. I was just surprised they had the rushing yards they finished with. We were really lazy on tackling. We were tackling the way we did in the first half of the first Sheldon Clark game. A couple of questionable calls on the false starts, especially the 4 and 2 in the first half. The defense played great at times. The offense really struggled. 2 plays that I don't understand why Phillip Haywood went with, were the pass right before halftime with seconds left when we were up 10-7. We take the knee, go to halftime with a little momentium, and the lead. But we throw it and let it get took to the house. Not good. And then when Belfry scored thier last touchdown. I know it don't matter know, but I just don't know why Coach didn't go for 2. That way if we got it, we'd just be down 3, and could kick a FG and tie it. If we didn't get in, it wouldn't have much mattered seeing we were going to need a TD anyways. Just don't understand Coach Haywood sometimes. He always plays it safe most of the time, but sometimes takes chances when there is no need. But Congrats to Central. They brought it and took home the hardware. We need to get it out of our heads that we are invincible, and come back next year hungrier than ever.
