Lawrence County is a good football team and right now East Carter is not. I fear that LC will hang over 70 on East Carter. Salmons has showed that he does not care one bit to pour it on teams. I was even told by someone close to the LC program that he has been quoted several times as saying "My JV plays on Monday, my freshamn play on Thursday, and my varsity plays on Friday." I hope I know where Luke was going with this but when you beat teams by the scores of 67 - 13; 75 - 14; & 55 - 3 it does sound a little odd. Best of luck to both teams and here is hoping for an injury free game.

 

Lawrence County: 78

East Carter : 7

I've been around Luke a long time and I've never heard anything like this come out of his mouth. I've coached with Luke and Chuke. Big difference. Chuke wanted to drill you into the ground. Luke much like Coach Sphire when I was with him tries to work on things to get prepared for the playoffs. We've only got 1 kid starting both ways so we already play a lot of kids. On top of that 3 of our 4 younger running backs are in casts. 1 starting back is a Soph and another a JR. There are only so many guys that can run the ball. It's not like he's sitting with the starters throwing the ball late in the 4th quarter. On top of that the defense has a couple of TD's this year and multiple turnovers inside opponents red zone. There's a lot of things that factor in that somebody who has never seen LC play wouldn't know.

You try to paint a picture that he's some disrespectful punk. Nothing could be further from the truth. Honestly I don't think I've ever been around a coach that does more for kids off the field than Coach Salmons. It's a FULL TIME job around here. State is in on the Administration. Zero money support from the school. Last Super is suing the school. Lots of kids with no dad's etc. He's got a lot of the communitty riding on his back becuase it's one of the few great things around here.

Hide your kids, hide your wife...and hide your husband. I can't see how this one isn't bad.

 

The played LC close the first half last year. I consider Coach Baldwin a friend and they look much more organized this year IMO. When you are dealing with teenagers on a Fri night you never know!

I did not nor am not trying to paint any type of picture of Coach Salmons. I think he is a very good football coach that is only getting better. He and his staff do a good job, but the fact remains that Lawrence County has beaten teams by very large scores under Coach Salmons. I do not approve of any coach or team beating another group of kids by some of the scores that LC has this year.

I do not condone beating teams by huge spreads but sometimes it cannot be avoided. We beat East Carter last week 50-6. Our JV scored on a punt return and I believe the score before that was with the JV kids. Point is, sometimes your JV team is pretty good to and the score can become inflated even when it's not intended. This post is not directed at either poster above discussing whether this is or is not the practice of the LC team/staff, just an observation of mine.

I really like Coach Baldwin. I just see no way that this game will be close at all, at any point other than the kickoff.

Lawrence County by one over East Carter in this battle of last week losers.

The East fans I spoke with know they are not good this season and look forward to dropping back down to class they belong soon.

 

Right now they can't compete in any class!! Sad to say.
