I would love to be wrong and see Raceland beat Fairview and I never said it wasn't possible. It is just hard to have faith in a team that has yet to beat a respectable opponent. Even if Raceland wins Friday the season isn't over so this week shouldn't be considered the Super Bowl for this team. If by pointing out the fact that Raceland and its fans have an unfounded belief that Raceland should be a powerhouse makes me negative then yes I am negative. But before you talk about this superiority of Raceland football please go in the trophy case and show me all of the state championships, in fact please show me all of the regional championships. In 80+ years of football not one regional or state championship has ever been won and only a handful of playoff games have been won. The culture at Raceland has always been about winning the district and until that mindset changes the program will never go to the next level that everyone desires. You are right I am not on the sidelines and I don't doubt that the coaches do much better than I would. But the fact is the game is about winning the hardware and not just this coaching staff but every staff has failed to do that up to this point.
