Playing in a state championship is enough to make any fan proud...but fans say doing it in a year plagued with uncertainty is different.

Laurie, josh: "they've played their hearts out despite not knowing if they had a season coming, so it's just been awesome to watch them grow and develop" catelyn, triste, mia: "i think it takes a lot of dedication, not only from the students, but from parents and teachers and coaches to still put in their hours and all their time with these students."

Despite lca's loss...one fan says the impact of making it this far won't be forgotten.

Parker: "i'm super proud of everyone on the team even though we didn't get to come through, but i'm telling you, next year, next year's our year."

Football game noise next up...boyle county versus franklin county.

Michael and elisa mchouln have two kids on boyle county's team...one a senior.

They say his teammates in his graduating class have played football with him since he was a little kid...so being able to watch their final game in person...with the other parents nearby...means a lot.

Michael, elisa: "we're excited to be there with all the parents and finish the season out this year."

No matter the outcome.

"they made flyer history tonight, and i'm proud of them either way."
