[scrappy coco]

I took most of last night off of here to gather my thoughts and composure. I still dont have much to say about last night, other than we were outcoached, out played, and just flat out beat. I have preached all year that we were putting things together, slowly but surely. Last night we looked like the same team that barely scratched out wins over West Carter and Greenup. A far cry from the team that played Lawrence Co, Portsmouth West, r Valley. We tackled poorly, missed assignments, and just over all looked poor.

With that said, we will match up a little better against the Tigers than we did Fairview. The Eagles just flat out whipped us with their passing attack, plain and simple, but we made stupid mistakes that killed drives (something we havent done much if this year). This is a MUST win for the Rams. Which I think makes us come out more focused and determined. I may get cruisified and I hope I am dead wrong, but I am a realist, I am a huge Raceland fan and supporter and by no means do I want to see the Tigers win this game. But I am not a liar or not one to sugar coat things, so here's my prediction. Like I said I hope my Rams shock me and turn things around this week and prove my big ass wrong! But....

Paintsville 38
Raceland 25

Paintsville pulls away late at home. Like I said, I hope I am dead wrong. I have full faith that these kids can do it and can still put things together and make a run. Im just not so sure their is a proven leader to step up and take the reigns like the seniors did last year and get things in line. That, imo, is the biggest issue with this team. I love my Rams and will cheer, root, and support them until the day I die, but Im just being realistic. Good luck to both groups. Still smh about last night. Dont have a whole lot else to say.

hold your head up scotty. we enjoy your analysis of all the games . you always know what your talking about. (except for last night). all year we have said what a great and tough district these three teams are in and all I can say is raceland fell victim to a tough district schedule
