The 1996 Ashland JV team would beat this LC team by at least 25. The Paintsville team that won it all would dominate them by at least 40. No answer for Vanhoose. Not taking anything away from LC this season but that comparison is a little off don't ya think?

No they would not, and no they would not. You really just said an Ashland jv (96 team) team would beat this Lawrence Co team by 25. Come on now. I don't know why the comparison even gets made to this LC team being as good as other last teams from the 15th. All I know is I have been watching high school basketball for over 30 years now and this Lawrence county is as fun to watch as any of the past great teams. I agree the Paintsville teams of the 90's were great and Shelby Valley teams also. But shouldn't we all be rooting a little more for teams like Lawrence to do well at Rupp? I rooted for Johnson Central and Elliott Co the last few years and I will root for Buckhorn, Lawrence and Elliott county again this year. Mountain basketball teams never get the credit they deserve and are almost always overlooked. Lets all get behind these teams since our teams are out of tournament play and root them on. Rant over and good luck to our mountain teams.
