In all honesty, the next couple years would havebeen some of the best Rail Cities Bowl games anyone could hae asked for. Its years like these, that really make the thought of a Raceland/Russell consolidation very interesting, atleast from a Football standpoint. Especially this last season. The numbers would create olines and doines to go one way each and could u immagine the backfield of Beech, Snyder, Conley, and Korzep? With Raceland's recievers, with McKee in the mix at WR? You know its not out of the rhelm of possibility that in the future that the South Greenup County High School Evil Ams could become a reality. Wit the economy and the way the rest of the state is doing things, it may take such a thing for bot schools to survive.

Paintsville should be able to compete with Raceland and Fairviewboth rebuilding, and we are leaving out Nicholas County, but NC is a ways away from the other three schools as far as contention in the district goes. But the Tigers lost, i believe 3 of their 5 offensive lineman. They will be a Junior laden oline though. Their soph class has alot of size. But they lost their QB as well. I look for Kash Daniels to have a good year for them though and aker Phelps had a major break out year as a Frosh.

In all actuallity Raceland, Fairview, Paintsville are all in a rebuilding phase. Raceland and Fairview look to replace impressive olines and Paintsville looks to replace a qb and wr whike filling some holes on the line. I think Fairview and Raceland return enough tallent and habe enough leftover on the line from a this season to still be in a different level than Paintsville and NC. I expect the district to finish the same as it did this season.
