Lake County has lost several 1st and 2nd round games in their history. Most all schools have lost games in the first and 2nd round. The Falcons also have alot success in the playoffs.

Now that is a very true post. Everyone has had their down years.

I know in ‘97,’98, and ‘99 LC went out 1st round because I was on those teams. ‘96 we played St Benedict in the quarters.

Yes sir I remember them all. I can remember all the way back to 1977. That was LC first championship appearance. Unfortunately we had to play Alcoa. I can remember just about all of the Falcons seasons from 77 to now. Perhaps the best LC game that I witnessed was in 77 in the semifinals against Westmoreland. The Falcons won 7 to 5 and blocked at 20 yard field goal on the last play of the game. I have witnessed many great LC games over the years and hope to witness many more.

St Benedict in ‘96 was terrible. The field was nothing but mud and we were dry on the sideline.

I remember that game really well. The whole field had at least 2 inches of water on it and everything else was dry. They wanted to slow LC down and accomplished their agenda.

It's interesting you say this because I played against St. Benedict in 1997. That quagmire cost us a trip to the state championship. I guess this was their go to home field advantage. I'd never seen anything like it nor have I seen anything like it since.

True story! We parked in the dirt on the practice field but there was a foot of water on the sidelines! Stopped to eat with some cheerleaders and they refused to go in and eat because they looked like mud wrestlers

I totally believe you. We experienced the same. Even remembered asking a gentleman about the rain that we thought they apparently had expereinced the few days prior to which he replied, "what rain?" 

It ruined quite a bit of our gear as some things weren't salvageable once we returned home. Toughest one point loss I ever experienced.

And would lose a lot of those

You could take the current TOP 10 seed by seed and 1A would win 80%
