Lawrence Co. Head Coach Joey Cecil
COACH’S COMMENTS
“We are excited, looking forward to beginning our playoff run. We feel like we have created an identity on both sides of the ball, we have narrowed our focus and we’re still trying to get better daily. We lost Keezee for the year, have a few guys that are day to day, but we are fairly healthy going into the playoffs.”

Fleming Co. Head Coach Bill Spencer
COACH’S COMMENTS
…”Excited to be in the playoffs, we only had three players with any varsity experience coming into this year after losing 22 players off of last year’s team. All of the experts had us winning four games this year.
Lawrence Co. will be a big challenge on the road but we went 5-0 away from home, I think our young kids get nervous at home playing in front of friends and family and feel more comfortable on the road.” Huge win over Russell on the road it was our first win against them in 14 years and only third time in school history. Big win over our neighbors in Mason Co. as well. Pretty healthy for the most part for tomorrow night. “
