So let me get this straight fairview just went to state title game right? I know they lose 3 great backs but you think they are just going away? State title appearance does a lot for your program don't see raceland being great at all they are not physical and pretty soft but that's my opinion. I don't know if they think they can truly be great program their kids don't seen to care or a bad pikeville team wouldn't have beat them that's soft mentally and physically. So why should they be district favorites? Crazy

I am taking into account: What each team has returning, who they are losing and the match ups that will create. Fairview isnt just losig 3 great backs in King, Brewer, and their best all around player Turner. In those 3 alone they lose that ability to score on any play, they lose the ground and pound grind out the clock in Brewer, they lose two yds and a cloud of dust without King. Most importantly, they lose the team leader in Turner. Without him, they wouldnt hae had the year they did.

Raceland returns their leading rusher and scorer in Daylin Beach(1,000 yds 20+ tds) they return their 2nd leadig rusher in Litteral(875 yds and 10+ tds). They return Elkins behind center 1200+ yds and 20+ tds. Along with that they return the 2 leading recievers in Messer and Vance. They also have an influx of freshman coming in that could compete for varsity time, which I think will push many of the returning starters from last year to play with added spark and desire. What they lose will be a big return man in Valencourt and a couple senior leaders in Boyles and Caldwell. But they will be replaced with better linemen. Raceland will be much better next year in relationship to this team.
What Raceland returns vs what Fairview returns: isnt the difference.
What fairview loses is. That is why I believe they will be the district favorite. But that is why they play the game on the field and not on paper.
