Belfry utilized their brand of smash-mouth football to defeat Wayne County 3-0 in a game played in frigid temperatures and rain.  Belfry improved to 14-1 and a combination of their defense and the weather slowed down Wayne County’s high powered offense as the Cardinals suffered their first loss and fell to 14-1 for the season.  This was Coach Philip Haywood’s third championship at Belfry and a very satisfying victory as they had lost in the finals to Central the last three years in the finals.  Coach Shawn Thompson led Wayne County to their first appearance in a state final.  Wayne County had a scoring opportunity late in the first half when they reached the Belfry 5 yard line.  Tyler Guffey’s fourth down pass was incomplete and the score was scoreless at halftime.  Austin Woolum kicked a 35 yard field goal with 5:22 remaining in the third quarter and Belfry’s defense made the score hold up for the victory.  Belfry recorded 12 first downs and 244 yards of total offense.  The Pirates were penalized four times for 36 yards and lost two fumbles.  Wayne County recorded 10 first downs and 208 yards of total offense.  The Cardinals were not penalized and had two passes intercepted.

Austin Hatfield led Belfry’s ground game with 114 yards on 21 carries.  Justin Johnson carried the ball 10 times for 57 yards.  Sani Warren added 41 yards on seven carries.  Sani Warren completed two of four passes for nine yards.  Trenity Carr caught one pass for nine yards.  Hayden Hatfield led the defense with four solo and one assisted tackles with two of his tackles resulting in losses totaling seven yards.  Keaton Taylor added four solo tackles and intercepted a pass.  T. Dotson recorded three solo and two assisted tackles.

Tyler Guffey led Wayne County’s ground game with 24 yards on nine carries.  Tyler Guffey completed 12 of 30 passes for 169 yards with two interceptions.  Jason Perkins caught five passes for 103 yards.  Logan Gardner added four receptions for 25 yards.  Alan Brown led the defense with 13 solo and two assisted tackles with two of his tackles resulting in losses totaling nine yards.  Ryan Corder added seven solo and three assisted tackles with 1.5 of his tackles resulting in losses totaling six yards.  Joseph Pierce recorded five solo and four assisted tackles.
