Wayne did beat Ironton and it was at Ironton enough said. But the Tigers two best players were out and my sources said the varsity score was only 14-6 and they didn't play special teams. Howeve Lawrence County went to Wayne tonight and played them tough for a half thanks to rain and turnovers. Final Wayne 27 to 0 larger margin of vicroty for the Pioneers but lower scoring compared to the 50 to 28 beating in the second week last year. Dawgs defense appears to be somewhat better this year but we don't have anything to really speak of on offense. The dawgs remain at least one year away from being back to the teams of the 90's and it could be even longer. With that said I make my prediction.

Belfry week off after big lose. Lawrence County down after getting beat easily for the second straight year to Wayne.

Belfry 40 plus

Lawrence 12

It's not to say that I think Wayne has a better defense its just that I think Belfry will get up big early and Lawrence will be able to score on the second or third string. Not much in the Dawg pound this year.

I can only pray that I'm wrong.

Wayne did have nine starters on offense return and scored the last 13 points late in the 4th.

Good luck to both Lawrence and Wayne next week. If all goes well I should make this one but if not I'll make it home in time for the play by play.
