Did a little calculating here on the points if Raceland wins tonight.

Fairview ranged in the 22-24 range

Raceland will have 24. They get 8 from west, 1 East Carter, 5 from Greenup, 7 From Lawerence, 3 from Portsmouth west. ( but will get 1 more to make 25 because they got a winless team there playing).

Paintsville would have 25 2- SC, 1 from Frankfort( 2 if they win tonight), 8 from Pikeville, 3 from Williamsburg( 4 if they beat Middlesboro next week) 5 from Bourbon, 3 from Pike Central, 3 as of right now from Ridgeview( but could get up to 6 if they win out)

The 1 seed would boil down to the teams on Paintsvilles schedule. Even if Paintsville get beat tonight and beat Shelby Valley the week after they would have the 1 seed.

For Raceland to get the 1 they have to win out and hope Paintsville losses out.

Don't forget that Raceland plays Russell next week who has a pretty good record. A win tonight could make next week mean much more than bragging rights against our crosstown rival. Obviously we have to get it done tonight or else all the football math doesn't mean too much.

On another note, this is likely the first game of two between the teams because a playoff rematch is a good possibility. Will the winning team be at a disadvantage the second time around? I have seen several instances where the winning team in games like this only come back to lose the second time around even if the first game was a blowout (i.e.Paintsville vs. Pikeville 2014 and Raceland vs. Pikeville 2012).
