Here's my take. LC better recognize that they are a rural high school and that they don't have the luxury of playing that many athletes on one side of the ball. If you only have about 15 ball players and a scout team, that don't mean you put the scout team in the varsity game. They need to have a gut check with their best players and run them boys into shape to play both ways the whole game if they want to win ballgames. I saw at least 4-5 kids that shouldn't see the field on a Friday night be in the starting lineup while better players were on the sideline. If they can't get their QB to run out his fakes, they don't need to run their belly. He can be a good dual threat QB if they would coach their offense to suit his abilities. As for Paintsville, they are not anything special at all. Their offensive line is very questionable, and if LC had even an average D-line, they would've been hurting. Instead, LC thought it was a good idea to have DTs that weigh about 150 going against guys that are around 300 while blitzing their LBs out of the plays all night because they got lucky in the first quarter and had a few big plays. Some of those big plays came from safeties selling out on the run which lead to being burned on obvious passing downs.

Congrats to Paintsville, and for LC, whatever they have drawn up on the whiteboard needs to be erased and start from scratch with their best 11 on both sides of the ball.
