I'm the guy who said even if we lose it will be to a great story among sports. I stand by that. But I will say this as well. LC had one player only that was a starter that I saw come through the line at the end of the game to shake hands. #11 who is their kicker and reciever. He is a class act above all else. I understand things got heated at the end of the game. Both teams got personal fouls. A young coach refused to knee (I probably would have done the same thing) and emotions ran high. BUT - you never refuse to shake hands at the end of the contest. You just don't do it. LC - you are winners now. Learn how to be winners without having to rub it in your opponents face. Congrats on a great season. But to have a great winning program that wins year after year you have to learn humility. Bell is our arch rivals. Bell / Knox kids see each other every weekend and in many ways hate each other. After they beat us (handily I might add) every player from Bell came through the line and wished us the best. They are winners in more ways than the scoreboard. You likely will get that same lesson come Friday night. Learn from it.

One final note - I was amazed to see the great turn out of fan support LC had too. Our boys had the greatest year in school history last year and NEVER played in front of 1/4 of that crowd. Way to go LC people. Stand behind those boys even if Bell beats them by 50. They deserve all the support you can give them.
