I've seen Lawrence Co. with my own eyes and you can take it from me, Lawrence Co.'s offense is "for real". Defensively, it's still up in the air (literally) as I have doubts about their secondary. The run defense is fine, though, there's good size inside and decent speed on the corners.

I'm more curious to see if Shelby Valley is "real". Pike Central is the best team they've played, making it tough to judge. If the Wildcats win or keep it close, I'll say they are (for real).

I agree with your opinion of Lawrence Co. Their offense is for real, but defense needs some improvement. The secondary was upgraded last week with Larry West. He was a very good WR last year at Nitro (although Nitro wasn't very good). I believe his speed/presence will help the LC secondary drastically. The defensive line looked good in the Sheldon Clark game.
I'm curious to see how the LC team matches up with a premiere backfield. SV has one of the best backfields in the mountains, regardless of what people think. If LC can shut down their running attack, I will feel confident that LC can progress into a team that could challenge Bell County in the playoffs. If LC can't slow them down, your Prestonsburg team better start doing some film study. LOL
