when 30 pionts r scored on u it is not a shut out.:eyeroll:

rc242 · 10-04-2009, 11:55 AM

both teams are going to be ready to play,and i see it close in the first half,but in the second i think lc will pull away with the win.

Well....although this is not the strong schedule you want to see LC have, this was the schedule they needed. After a horrible few years, they needed a schedule that would allow for a building season. I thought coming into the season that their schedule was kinda weak, but when I seen the Dawgs put a beat down on Sheldon Clark, I new this team was for real!!! Watch out GC, this LC team is no slouch!!!:1:

Who said anything about it being a shut out.. But we have shut out the last two teams we have played.

Carter for GC is a great back, and Pack, West, and maybe one of the most underrated runners around in Hunter James, and Caleb Bentley and the list goes on and on. Lawrence has around 6 or 7 guys that could run the ball and be effective.This isn't the same team GC faced last year. Cant wait to watch this one.

You haven't seen D.Cross run this year have you? Coach Buchanan from Mason said of him, when RC went to MC, "The most talent in one athlete that has ever stepped foot on this field." I know that GC has good RB's Lyle and Carter have both had 200-yard games in the past, and I'm sure Lawrence Co. does to, but they're not as good as Darrell Cross, period, IMO.

No we havent... we faced a form of the option but not the belly... but with that said we stay on our keys and it will be a tough time for them to run.. Yes Carter will get yards but well will see in a few DAYS!!

catwoman Wrote:Only thing that is or under rated is the Dawgs defense. Our offense is highly explosive. It's possible this team could have 4 thousand yd rushers but our defense has been out standing.GC qb needs to have his best game to keep them in the game. LC is going to score.Can GC match them score for score,,I think this game could be a LC blowout and at the same time this game could be like the RC and GC game.What if we gave Larry West the ball 25 times. He would have a 300 yard game.We have never had more weapons on offense than this team,,have we guys?

I have to agree with Region15 on this one! LC has FOUR (4) OUTSTANDING BACKS and a STRONG O-LINE! This is a VERY talented LC team. No one player is the "star". It takes the "WHOLE" team! Good luck to the Dawgs against GC!

Anyone who watched the game last Friday, knows it was obvious Carter was the best RB on the field. Nothing against Cross he is amazing, but Carter is a step above.

The belly is a really good offence it was our bread and butter in the 90s when we was the winningest program in the state. And it is very hard to stop if it's run the right way. But it can be stopped I seen it stoped every year when we was in the play offs. The key to stoping it is every person has to be acounted for and every one has to stay at home on defence that means playing strait up your best agiants our best. In the past when we would face highlands they was just better then we was over all. I know coach Copley knows how to run the belly and I also know that LC has a coach that knows how to stop it. I think it will come down to what team is better prepaired. This LC team is not only one of the most talented team's we have had in a while but they are one of the smartest teams we have had in a few years . I really hope the ref's are not involved in the out come of this game and let the best team win. I look for both teams to play well but I think LC comes out on top. IMO this is the play-offs and these dawgs are on a mission. GO DAWGS Tongue

i still don't think you see the point i'm trying to make. he may be better than any of lc's backs. but lc's d will stop a single running back, i guarentee it. greenup and rowan will have trouble stopping lc's backs as they're rotated.

HANGTOUGH · 10-04-2009, 06:08 PM

First thing the LC defense will have to do, is stop our o-line to get to our r-backs,that's right r-backs is plural [we have more than one].GOOD LUCK WITH OCCOMPLISHING THAT, LC DEFENSE!!!!!!

"WHERE YOU BEEN" this is going to be a war, but the way LC is talking we have no chanch, we may be playing the Bulldogs, as we are the underdogs, I like our chanchs, and just maybe they underestimate us, what do you think?:Nodding: we shut them out 19-0 at their place, and surely they have a bunch of those players on this team.:notworthy

Both teams have changed completely since 2008 when LC was 0-11 and GC was 3-8.

The difference in 2009 is that LC is 6-0 and GC is 2-4.

GC is 1-2 w/ Carter.
GC is 1-2 w/o Carter.

Hey FBN, you still questioning GC's line? They have played pretty well this far.

SOS, STRENGHTH OF SCHEDULE, you have not played Ashland, Russell, Raceland, Rowan, or any Ohio teams, which are better than West Virgina teams, sure you are 6-0, but we think we have played tougher competion.

Well lets see we stopped Sheldon Clark who had several great running back and also Shelby Valley who had about 4 very solid running backs.. The team had rushed for nearly 2000 yards when they came to play us.

I will give you the Ashland game but russell is down.. coal grove isnt the team they have been the last couple of years.. and of course Rowan is good... So I think we have both played 2 quality games each.

Even with Russell down we would still be competitive with Lawrence County.

Harr and Carter have been very good additions to the team.

Lawrence County has defeated 3 teams with a .500 record or better.

Sheldon Clark 3A (4-2)
East Ridge 3A (3-3)
Shelby Valley 2A (5-1)

Greenup County has defeated 1 team with a .500 record or better.

Raceland 1A (4-3)

Larry West any relation to Michael West? I hated playing against him!

Imo they are better than last year because last year was a bad year but no where near the teams from 2006 back.
