[Orange Blaze]

I am far from a band wagon or fair weather fan I just don't wear orange tinted homer glasses. I have been going to Raceland games even when they have had subpar teams and I have gone to games that they were projected to have a running clock against them because I thought they could somehow pull it off. The fact of the matter is this group of players doesn't have mental toughness and they don't have a killer instinct to win when they have to. Do I place blame on the coaches, yes because it is their job to instill that winning mentality. Last night Raceland should have won but they didn't and I don't care how many yards of offense a team has a loss is still a loss. Would they have won if Beach played? Maybe, no one can say for sure but he didn't and it is the job of the coaches to plan accordingly to losing a key player. Again congrats to Lawrence County you were the better team last night. Raceland had opportunities early on to run away with the game but they could not clamp down when they needed to. Good teams that win championships find a way to win against good teams and this group of players and coaches have consistently failed to do that for three years now.
