First of all congrats to Ashland you played very hard and never stopped playing while you were down. Raceland did a lot of things right but they still lost. The 400 yards of offense is irrelevant when you don't win the game. Raceland had planets of opportunities to put his game away and try honestly should have won by at least two touchdowns. Ashland beat them because they wanted to win more plain and simple. Raceland has a better overall team but they just couldn't finish the deal. When it was 21-14 it looked as though they had relaxed as if they had a three touchdown lead and Ashland capitalized. They really need to start focusing on nutrition and conditioning also. To many boys went down with cramps and that is on the coaches for not making sure the players are physically ready. Last night showed me that Raceland still cannot win big games in pressure situations. They played hard and I will not take away from their efforts but I am abut old school and when it comes down to it the other stuff does matter if you don't win.
