If Lawrence County's own coach can discuss the fact that JC showed the world that LC is, in fact, beatable, then their fans should be comfortable admitting that, too.

From the Ashland Daily Independent:
Lawrence County coach Travis York wasn’t sure if the night’s events went entirely in his team’s favor.

“We were hoping to send a message, and I think they were the ones that sent a message tonight even though they didn’t come away with a victory,” York said. “It’s two-fold: one, we proved to ourselves that we can beat them; but they also proved to themselves and the rest of the region that we’re beatable. A ball bounces, a different call here and there, they win that game. Everybody knows that now.”

Now, will the Dawgs prevail in the postseason or will a neutral court push the Eagles to a 5th Consecutive Region title?

It's not a walk in the park for anyone, that was proven by this game.

And for the record, the refs only called Tyler Pack for four fouls. Mistakes are made every day, I don't blame the bookkeeper for the loss -- any time you get out rebounded by 10 and only sink a small percentage of free throws (especially two HUGE ones at the end to clinch the win) you're going to lose a game. However, Tyler Pack should not have been disqualified. Several people had him for 4 fouls. All those people can't be wrong.

First off this is by far the worst team JC has had in years. LC is by far a 20 pt better team if they were coached and disciplined correctly. Anyone who knows these LC kids and seen them play knows what talent they have but the coaching staff has no clue how to utilize it. Those comments by the coach are out of line just like his coaching ability and discipline. This is the only team in the region that has all five starters that hit 1000 pts in their junior year and one as a sophomore. Tell me that's not talent. You have other teams with one certain player that scores 30 - 40 pts a game and that's why those players get recognition so much. We have five that's in double figure most every game but no one seems to notice that. Imagine if any one of these players was on a team by their self. They would be avg at least 30 per game. This coach does not no how to handle this talent and screws up most games. We battle to win against teams we should be blowing out of the water, not to disrespect the other teams. If and its a big if, we make it to RUPP, it will be no credit to this coaching staff but to these boys who have worked their but off. These boys have had one good coach since middle school and he is now at mercer. Look at Mercers record. 🤔
