[laker20]

It is the biggest game in the history of the Russell County program. This is a program that is 3-21 in the playoffs all time. They have a chance to beat a state champion program and play for their first ever regional championship... And that is why I think they will lose. The moment will be too big for them.

I see where your coming from Norm, and for the fans & perhaps the staff you may have a point. It's a big game that we'd love to win. But if we don't we will be satisfied with the teams accomplishments for the season.

As far as players go, it is a big game for the players on both teams. You can't tell me that this game is any different for Casey Whittle than it is for Nick Britt. For the individual players it doesn't really matter how this one game compares to games from other seasons, it is their biggest game this year.........period. So, I disagree about the moment being too big for the Lakers, because if you lined up the seniors from both teams, the game would be just as big for the ones in black/gold as the ones in red/white/blue.

As I've said previously, the Lakers are playing loose and having fun. They've accomplished more than any other team in Laker history already, and this is just bonus time. This doesn't mean they don't want to win, they just don't have to win to deem the season a success.
