What does everyone expect from Lewis County in 2015? Graduation hits the Lions hard, but with Mason County leaving the district and Pendleton County and Bath County moving in and Fleming also getting hit hard by graduation, Lewis will probably be more competitive within the district than this past year.

I expect an up and down season for the Lions with anywhere between 4 and 7 wins and a 3rd place finish in the district. The key will be how hard these guys work in the offseason. A lot of kids will be seeing consistent varsity action for the first time and their dedication in the weight room is vital to how they will react to that.
