The Lexington script arrives at the postseason with the excitement of taking the broadcast on the road. Jim, Kevin Criswell and Andrew Haley introduce the night, then the notebook reaches back into Jim’s own memories.
We thank you for your support and are excited to bring to you, for the first time, LIVE! PLAYOFF ACTION!
“Do they look like number three?”
In a section labeled “Memories,” Jim recalls the 2001 trip to McNairy Central. His clearest image is his father in the locker room at halftime, challenging the team’s view of its highly ranked opponent.
“DO THEY LOOK LIKE #3!? DO THEY LOOK LIKE #3?!”
Jim frames that trip as a step forward for the program, even though it ended in a loss. It is preserved here as a personal recollection in the 2022 notebook.
The road before this road
The same section remembers an overtime finish at Grundy County with Brandon Holder and Bobby George, and a bitterly cold trip to Chattanooga Brainerd. Elsewhere, the notes connect Lexington with Greenbrier’s first home playoff victory in 2002 and acknowledge achievements in girls soccer and cross-country.
In the eye of the Tiger, tonight it is Region 5 #4 vs. Region 6 #1 and there is NO PLACE ELSE YOU NEED TO BE!
The draft contains differing versions of historical postseason totals. Those stay in the research trail; the linked game and season pages carry the maintained record.
