You're entitled to your opinion.

It happened in 2003, but the relative strength of the teams isn't the issue. You're calling Bell over Lawrence a huge upset because some yahoos on the Internet predicted a 40-point win for Lawrence ... big deal.

And a team that had a glossy record against a so-so schedule, a record that doesn't look as impressive upon closer examination.

 

No I am calling Bell over LC a huge upset because even the knowledgable fans had LC winning by 21. I am also calling it a huge upset because I played in the game, and I know for a fact that we were totally overmatched. I dont think they could have beat us by 40. But I see no reason why they couldnt have handed us a 30 point loss like Rockcastle did in the district championship.

 

As far as their glossy schedule goes... you are calling it glossy because they snuck away with an overtime win against a subpar Belfry team. Every team has a bad game, its the GOOD teams that overcome that and still win the ball game. You also fail to mention that no other team on their schedule played them to within 3 TD's. They also demolished an Ashland team that featured RB Arliss Beach, and that very same Ashland team had eventual state runnerup Rockcastle on the ropes at Rock.

 

Sure their schedule wasnt one of the toughest in the state, but LC was good, and to be 11-0, irregardless of the schedule you play, is pretty impressive. How many teams go undefeated each year, very few.

1992 playoffs, Highlands over Covington Catholic at Cov Cath (14-7). Cov Cath had defeated HHS by three touchdowns in the regular season, and Cov Cath was undefeated with wins over Cincy Moeller and eventual state champion Beechwood (blowout). Cov Cath seemed a safe bet to win it all, they even had their QB on the cover of state championship programs.
