Honestly, this shouldn't qualify as a big game for this staff to win. We should be at minimum 2-3 td favorites, then again, we were probably 30 pt favorites over Pikeville last year. I do think Raceland wins this contest easily, Fairview is rebuilding and injury plagued worse than us. I hope some false sense of greatness doesn't arise if this game is easy or a blowout, if so another Pikeville is waiting on over inflated ego's. Got to do the hard work,keep grinding to win.

I agree that Raceland should be the favorites to win on paper but games are not won on paper they are won in the field. I realize that Fairview has its injury issues but at this point in the season they should not be compared to last year's team nor considered to be rebuilding because this team is 7-0 against a much tougher schedule than last year's team faced. This game will come down to the players as much as it will the coaches. You have to consider the mentality of the players coming into this game and no matter how favored you may be it will still be tough to overcome the mental barrier of facing a team you have never beat. I think this game will be close and should be very fun to watch but I wouldn't quite call a 7-0 team that has never lost to Raceland an underdog.
