Right next door at 7:30 in the LCHS Gym it will be 58th District Volleyball semifinal with #3 Lawrence Co. ( 14-18 ) facing #2 Betsy Layne ( 6-19 ) at approximately 7:30. In the first game it will be #1 Floyd Central and #4 Prestonsburg at 6:00.
Lawrence Co. Boys soccer captured the #1 seed and received the bye and will play for the Championship Wednesday night at 8:00 vs the winner of Belfry and Shelby Valley who play Tuesday night at 6:00 at the LCHS Complex.
On Friday night the Lawrence Co. ( 5-3 ) football team will look to snap a long losing streak to nemesis Belfry ( 6-1 ) and claim the Class 3A District 6 Championship.

COACH’S COMMENTS
“ Coming off of a five game winning streak, we feel confident going into tonight’s game. Our hitters have found their rhythm and we have been more consistent with our serves as well as passing. If we play lose and apply pressure, there is no doubt we will get our first regional tournament birth!”
Boys Soccer Head Coach Scott Johnson
COACH’S COMMENTS
“… The team is looking forward to hosting districts this year and having the number one seed. We are cautious though, because we have seen the soccer that Belfry is capable of playing and they are a threatening team. This will be a good high pressure test before we head to regionals next week.”
Lawrence Co. Superintendent Robbie Fletcher
SUPER’S COMMENTS
