Lawrence has a very good team........ BUT....... I wouldn't call Lawrence the best team in the 15th?? They only beat Paintsville boys on Lawrence's home courts by a team score of 5-4 and that match could have easiliy been Paintsville boys 7-2. The only two matches that they actually dominated were in #1 boys singles and #1 boys doubles. After that Paintsville boys were as good or better. And we certainly know that Lawrence girls are not #1 in the region. And as for playing out of region, that is their decision, but I don't see them having played Ashland or other powerhouses??? So they might as well play other teams in THEIR region????

Lawrence tried to schedule Ashland, Ashland would not schedule them. Lawrence played Russel, Cabell Midland, and Ironton. These teams are very strong. Also played East Carter (their 1 seed is very strong)

I do agree that team play between Paintsville and Lawrence is very even and could go either way.
