Raceland will have a solid team, but nothing outstanding. I think it's funny how many people post of this website that don't understand football. They lost too many good players to have high expectations guys. I disagree about their district being bad, in my opinion best district in single A. Fairview is not going away with a solid coaching staff and several players returning, LCA is always going to be good, Nicholas and Paris both compete and will be better. Anyway glad all these kids are transferring in but they all have to be ruled eligible first and then you have to worry about team chemistry. Good luck to the Rams but I see them at 6 or 7 wins a solid year but nothing what some people are saying.

Raceland did lose alot of outstanding football players. But thanks to several one sided games last season, many of the youngsters got ample playing time. This will come in handy for the Rams. I agree with you about the district. Not many districts in the state, let alone in 1A, can produce 3 second round play off teams and 2 3rd round play off teams. I think LCA will be a hard one to stop next year, but if Raceland can get a chemistry going early, I think they will fair better against the pass this year. They have attained some more speed in the off season, and as far as I know, all the kids that have transfered will be eligible. I think the only one who is up in the air is Jett Troxler and he will definitely be eligible by mid-late July, for sure by the 1st or 2nd week of the season, or atleast thats what I have been told. The Rams have the ability to be a 8 or 9 win team this year. They have alot of depth, which is a very good thing. I think they could shock some people this year, but that could be wishful thinking. But I would like to say to some that I have heard in this area. This was no fluke at Raceland this year. Things have been moving in a positive direction for about 5 years now. The last 5 years Raceland has accumulated a record of 48-23 winning 5 play off games out of 11 and 4 of those losses come to state champs or runner ups. Hopefully Raceland can come out and "shock the world" or atleast the state this year. Their schedule remains tough enough in the non-district games that it will prepare them for the post season. The only games that won't have a "playoff" atmosphere is the Fleming County game, they don't have much of a rivalry with them, but it should be a good challege for the Rams, early on in the season.
