The first thing I thought about when I saw LP had shut out H-F was...it's the first time they started a season with four consecutive wins since 2004. Then, my next thought was remembering how that 2004 season ended up in disaster. After going 9-0 and being ranked number one all season, LP lost their first playoff game at home to LWE.
After that single loss and elimination, LP became a very average team, and eventually became a very bad team for years as they wandered into the abyss of mediocrity and embarrassment. A few coaching changes here and there and now, finally, they have a solid team. Maybe the most solid since that 2004 team.
But, time will tell. No sense in looking ahead to LWE although the game will be played at Lockport. There is a lot of work to do before even thinking about that game. That is a game I'll go to. Can't make the BB game. I'd like to see that one too.
Hopes are starting to rise and I am cautiously optimistic.
