That’s the biggest difference I think. Is having legit game changers. Seeing what our track team has accomplished this season, with several of them being football players, maybe the guys are there, but haven’t been used correctly? Idk. Just seems that we had some athletes to get the job done last year but couldn’t make it happen. Then again, maybe that athleticism didn’t translate into the football field. Several of those guys return so I don’t see us being anything less than as good as we were last year by the end of the season. Though I’m certain we will take some lumps with the schedule we have. Big gaps to fill upfront on both sides of the ball to get where we want though.

I think it has a lot to do with the athleticism not translating to the football field.  The track program is arguable the most successful program out of all sports in the history of the school.  Most of the time the team is composed of football players but that still hasn’t lead to the coveted state title.

The best example that we have with this was the 2003 State Championship track team.  That team was composed of several of the skill players from the 2002 football team that was blown out by NCC in the second round of the playoffs.

Raceland has always had good athletes but history has shown that this doesn’t necessarily lead to success on the football field.
