Alfus. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about. In 98, they defeated Johnson Central who had the best team all year long in the region and most talent. They defeated a pitcher who was 9-0 and had signed with Morehead State. And Pikeville had a catcher that couldn't even throw it back to the pitcher.

In 99, they had to defeat Johnson Central in the opening round at their home park. A JC team that had 2 dominant left-handed pitcher.

In 2002, they defeated Paintsville and the best pitcher to come through the region in a while in Chas Harmon.

In 05, they had to beat Paintsville at their HOME PARK in the regional finals with Paintsville's ace on the hill. And Lawson did a great job with his pitchers saving Justin Anderson for the final game when the WHOLE WORLD would have saved Huffman.

Lawson has won 4 regions. Had a lot of talent. But to just say that he could have thrown them on the field and won shows your ingorance about competitive sports.

By the way, those two wins over Paintsville in the finals in 02 and 05 were the ONLY two times Charlie Adkins ever lost in the finals.

Lawson is certainly not Hall of Fame coach yet, but he is well on his way. Who is qualified for the Hall of Fame after only 8 years????
