[NoPicks]

I have watched over 20 years worth of Raceland Football and traditionally Raceland has never been able to win the big games. I hope this week changes that trend and we can get past the regional championship hump. I have seen very good teams trip up and fall apart in this game (06 & 08 come to mind) and I hope this team doesn't do the same. Raceland has been playing well since they beat Fairview a few weeks ago and they are going to be tough to beat at home.

If you would have asked me about this game a month ago I would have picked Pikeville because Raceland wasn't very good a month ago and they weren't clicking like they are now. This team also had a level of focus that they did not have earlier in the year and I think that is what makes them dangerous right now. I am going to make a crazy prediction but I see Raceland winning this game by at least two touchdowns.

The 2006 team didn't "fall apart".. they ran into a dang good Newport Central Catholic team that ended up winning the state championship. Raceland lead 21-14 at half time and NCC's depth and talent took over in the second half. The Rams were really good in 06' but a win over NCC still would have been a huge upset. 2008, may be a different story, I felt like the Rams were the better team vs LCA and let that one slip through their fingers.
