Raceland -22
Fairview -14
OT
1987

Raceland was 9-1 going in and Fairview was 9-0...
Coach Ross had the RACELAND Coach bus driven right onto the track. I can still hear Coach Cooksey yelling at the guys, 'Do you want to go ride that bus?'

Fairview outplayed the Rams for most of the game, and with 1:37 left in the fourth, Raceland found itself 60 something yards away from the goal line and Fairview's D had been really stingy. One well placed pass to Mark Kirk from Brett Mills, who eluded two defenders (if my memory serves me correctly, they ran into one another) for a TD, and Mills faked middle and ran around the right side to score the 2pt. conversion.

I can't remember the OT that much because I was so shocked by the comeback. I hope someone else can fill in that part!

Both teams lost in the playoffs to Beechwood, Fairview first, then Raceland the following week.

I was at that game too!! I forgot all that game. That was a great game. One of Fairview's touchdowns was a punt return in which he signaled a fair catch and Raceland punt team just stopped.

I thought tying TD pass was tipped by a Fairview defender into Kirk's hands. Either way, it was a great play.

I could be wrong, I don't remember for sure, I think Raceland scored in OT on another Brett Mills QB sneak
