In the first couple of minutes, the lead changed hands several times. As the second quarter started, LCA stayed within single digits, and then Scott County started to pull away.

Gabe Smith, Staff Writer
December 7, 2018

Hello and welcome back to another movie review. This movie is not in theaters but it is on Amazon and this movie is Dunkirk. Now many of my friends and family give me a hard time because I talk about Dunkirk too much and granted, I do, but I have not been able to really explain why I think Dunkirk is one of the greatest war movies ever.
