COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It was a great night celebrating our seniors and a key win. Everyone worked hard and contributed to securing this win. Lawrence County has not defeated Fairview since 2012, so this was a huge win for us against a highly competitive team/coach. I’m thrilled to take this momentum into Thursday night against Raceland and then head to Prestonsburg to play Betsy Layne Monday night at 7:30 in the district tournament.”
“… Our seniors (Lillian Kinser, Andrea Cochran, Makayla Sparks, & manager Kendal Sword) have laid the foundation for our future success. They have contributed to the changing culture of Lawrence County volleyball. I’m so proud!”
