I am glad you think that LC is better we will see after your
5A playoffs start. We played 4 good 5A teams lets see how
you do with sum of them. Belfry is a better then LC.

How will the 5A playoffs prove anything when LC is a Class 4A team and Belfry is Class 3A?

No one can answer definitively whether Belfry is better than LC or vice versa because they haven't played and won't play this season.

I, for one, would have LOVED for LC to play the schedule they played last season. I think they would've acquitted themselves quite nicely and very possibly come out with the same record they have now.

But there's no apologizing for the schedule that is there now. Sheldon Clark is a good team, but not the only one LC has played. You can only be held accountable for the non-district games you schedule, and the only one I don't think should have been on there was East Ridge. That wasn't fun for anybody.

Paintsville, Tolsia and Sheldon Clark make sense because they are traditional opponents for LC (although the first two were pretty much left behind in the 90s) and good gate games. Winfield was a wild card - traditionally strong AAA team from WV that came in banged up and got flattened. Who really knew?

One thing I am sure of is this Lawrence County team is SUBSTANTIALLY better (as in light years) than it was last season and Class 4A, District 7 and company are going to have some respect for them once they've earned it in a couple of weeks.

Until that point, Will Muney, Bobcat fanboys, McCreary Central boosters, KC Masterpieces, Rockcastle Rockets and the like will just have to wonder aloud about how good LC really is - no one believes until they have played them.

And that is fine because that is what sport is all about, competing, giving honorable account of yourself through all-out effort on the field.

Have a good game day, everybody!
