Raceland defeated Pikeville in the 3rd game of the season 54-14, and in the 2nd round of the playoffs Pikeville beat Raceland 26-20. Either Pikeville got a lot better or Raceland dropped off a lot. Both teams have about everybody back next year. Harlan beat Pikeville 41-21 in the first game,Williamsburg who lost 6 seniors last year beat Harlan 36-0 in the 3rd game of the season. Pikeville will be the team to beat in the region.

I truly believe it is finally the year that Raceland or Wburg finally live up to the hype. Raceland has a good schedule to show us exactly what to expect though. Wburg should win a majority of their games i the regular season, so they will have to prove their worth rounds 2 and up in the playoffs. Raceland HAS THE ABILITY(not that they will) to run the table on their regular season schedule. Playing Ashland early in the ear is always a plus, good measuring stick right out of the gate. And Ironton at the end of the regular season should be a HUGE night. Fairview week is always a fiasco and all the talk of us has beens on here can compare to what that game truly means. As far as Fairview goes, they have some nice tallent returning, but I dont feel it will be enough to do what they did last year. But they will hae their say so in the district. I have all the hope in the world for my Rams. But until they win a regional title AT THE LEAST. I will consider as a solid football team with a monkey on our backs. Looking forward to see who will take on Mayfield...is it August yet?

I was told by a few people that the Rams was getting ready to play Fairview and did not really prepare for Pikeville the second time (only watched about 20mins of tape on Pikeville and the rest of the week it was Fairview). I was told that a few of the players thought that some of the boys on Raceland laid down when they was getting beat and was not trying. Now this is what I was told and I hope it is not true.. Now onto Ironton game seems like they only dressed about 45 players last yr and 22 of them was seniors so this team will not be the same one that beat Ashland and a few others. Also didnt Ashland lose their line and a few skill players.
The Rams will win the games that they are suppose to win. The teams that will hit them back is the ones they trouble with.
