IMHO...as a person who decidedly wants Lexington to do well...
  • Dorman is the best 4-A team in the state until someone proves otherwise on the field.
  • The Dorman coach seems to be a good coach; it's difficult to argue with the results.
  • If I had to play Lexington, I'd do exactly what I've heard Dorman's coach did -- and other coaches are trying to do. Play a defensive oriented game, mark certain players, and count on Lexington carrying the ball too much rather than working more as a team. I wouldn't just hope to score in PK's, I'd hope to score on a counter as well. However, last week Lexington went from a D to a B+ or better in their execution of set plays; if the team also continues to work and improve with respect to playing simply with quick passes to open players then they'll give the best teams in the state fits, regardless of the other team's defensive strategies.
