As far as I'm concerned this is a thread about the Bulldogs upcoming 2017 season. I get that some people didn't like/agree with coach Cecil when he was head coach and that is fine but that was in the past and we need to focus on now. The man done the best he could with what he had to work with as did the other coaches and I thank them for their hard work. This community needs to support the staff and these kids and not dwell in what happened or didn't happen in previous years. Expectations are always high at Lawrence County and I am just as guilty as anyone for having high ,even unreal expectations at times but the community support matters a ton in trying to build up a program. A few games into the season last year I noticed a big decline in fan support at the home games or people leaving the game when they think it is out of reach. The kids see this and it does weigh on them.It sucks having down year but it happens and the only way we get this program built back is by a total effort from coaches,players and fans. I don't agree with everything all the time but at the end of the day I know we all want the same thing and that is a state championship for these kids. Go Dawgs!!
