I didn't take it as condescending at all. The truth of the matter is, I'm not familiar with the Lakers prior to 88. I know Coach Finley had some very good teams at Russell Co and later at Campbellsville College, but I'm not sure you can compare the teams of the 80's with this team. That's why I say 'may be the best team'. I guess it depends on how far we can make it in the playoffs.

I do know that this team has the possibility of being the absolute best Laker team since I've lived in Russell Co. Only 2-points separate them from a perfect season. Of course this team will continue on into next year because all of our skill players are Sophomores and Juniors. So, I'd expect next year to be our best chance of going deep into the playoffs.

:Thumbs:

Those Russell County teams were good but more tough and power football based. Not much speed but the '83 team had some very good quickness in the backfield.

Finley was a great coach and I've always respected what he did down there.
