lakecounty1968 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 The falcons return 18 starters from last year. Most of them will be sophomores and juniors this season. The falcons scrimmaged 5A Dyer County yesterday. The falcons had one day of practice with everyone there do to baseball season. The falcons lost 8tds to 6. DC threw the ball at will on the falcons but couldn't run the ball at all. The falcons moved the ball well but 6 turnovers killed 6 drives. LC must get the pass defense and the turnovers corrected. All in all not a bad showing for 1 day of non contact practice. Lots of room for improvement.LC will play at Obion Central next Friday night and there should be big improvement. LC will not see anyone on the schedule that throws the football like DC.Look for LC to have a very solid football team this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this tells more about Lake Co or Dyer Co though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysoangry Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 That should be a solid test for the Falcon's. Granted OC isn't a typical 4A school but they usually have some solid hard nosed players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecounty1968 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 LC/OC always have spirited contest. The two schools do not like one another to much. It is a shame Obion Central will not schedule the falcons in a regular season match up. Used to be a big gate for both schools. I guess Central has nothing to gain from it. They win everyone says they are supposed to but if they lose it looks bad on them losing to a 1A school. My personal opinion is OC, LC and Union City should play each other every year.

HoopsTN1 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 That freshman class y'all have is loaded. After talking to the former LC basketball coach, I believe the hype. He showed me videos of the Mays and Gross kids lifting, and those are the strongest freshmen I've ever seen no matter the class. If what he told me is true, the Mays kid is a future D1 OL. Not too many of them in 1A. And there are 9 or 10 in that class that started last year? Looking more and more like LC is getting back to the days I remember in the 80s. Another thing he told me was your HC is one of the best offensive minds around, and the DC is great also. Always good to have an assistant with tons of HC experience on your staff. I can't wait to come watch a game or two this year. Maybe they'll remind me of the days with Reese, Avery, and those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecounty1968 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Coach Puckett catches alot of heat but he is a very good coach. Coach Dryden the dc is very good. He took a bunch of freshmen and sophomores and made them a decent unit by the end of the year. LC will be good this year and really good for 2 or 3 years after that. The middle school and youth leagues have lots of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecounty1968 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Lake County finished spring practice beating Obion Central 8tds to 4tds. Obion Central scored two of those touchdowns on the LC backups. Now its on to summer workouts. Football season cannot get here fast enough.

lakecounty1968 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 The big thing I noticed was how much size the young guys have put on. Last year they got beat at the point of attack on both defense and offense. I don't think that will be the case this season. Look for big things by the end of the year for the stil very young falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
