LCC's JV team went across the Mountain and won a gutsy game against a very good New Harlan JV team tonight. The defense really stepped up in the 2nd half and completely changed the tone of the game. Hats off the Coach Sergent. The only problem I have is the offensive coordinator for LCC's JV team still remains true to his East Letcher roots. (Former middle school coach). While the former E. L. backs did a wonderful job running the ball (I certainly don't want to take anything away from their effort), its amazing how that several other players with tremendous offensive talent but didn't play for him at the middle school level, never see the ball on offense. I know this has been debated before but it's true. I don't know if he cut his teeth with these guys and doesn't trust the other players to run in his system or what! If Howard had only ran Whitesburg players at the middle school level when they consolidated, he would have been lynched. Running, passing, whatever, 99% goes to his former players. If you don't believe me, watch them play sometime. How does the varsity level improve if other players don't get the chance to show their skills as well? I'm sure Whitaker would like to see ALL his players have a chance to play and improve.

we have the same problem over here in harlan. we feel your pain.
