[Orange Blaze]

To my understanding the new kid will not be eligible this week. I have no idea if that is true or not, just what I've been told. I really think the gap is wide enough that it wouldn't matter. I don't see this game being as close as people seem to think.

Even if the kid is eligible you have to wonder how well he would mesh in the locker room. Putting in a new player this late can create a lot of friction because it is taking away a spot from someone that has had it all season. From a group cohesion standpoint I don't think it would be in the best interest of their team to do that but who knows maybe I'm wrong.

As far as tonight goes, Raceland has to come out ready to play and they can't be thinking about the Tigers in blue. The ADI published a piece today talking about a "collision" course between Raceland and Paintsville which I don't agree with at all because it takes away focus from the teams playing this week and honestly it is disrespectful to Bracken County and Paris to consider them as "placeholders" until next week.
