LONDON — South Laurel’s district loss to Pulaski County could be summed up pretty simple — the Cardinals had no answer for Maroons running back Kasen Brock.

It marked the first time Cardinal coach John Hines faced his former team, as South Laurel fell to 3-2 on the season and 0-1 in district play.
