Congrats to Shelby Valley. They were the better team last night and exposed LC's weaknesses. But LC's unforced errors on offense took them completely out of the game. Bad snaps plagued them all night. If I had to guess, I'd say they had more negative yardage on bad snaps than they had yards from scrimmage. Unacceptable after 6 weeks of practice.

LC is undersized on both sides of the line. Shelby Valley has some big dudes. LC couldn't get any push on the o line (when they got the snap off). #2 might have been rushed back. Nothing in the passing game. Wet ball, timing off, etc. Rough night all around for the O.

D played well enough to win, but they weren't good. Played soft all night, struggled with SV's size, lots of arm tackling, no juice whatsoever.

The outstanding effort on display last week at Rowan Co. was sorely lacking last night.

A wise old coach told me one time that you'll lose a game for every freshman you start. By my count LC started 5 freshmen last night. I think LC can beat every team left on the schedule. I also think every team left on the schedule can beat LC. I think a district championship is still a reasonable goal. But they've got some work to do, for sure.
