I will take 3A over 1A.....home team prevails

I will take 3A over 1A.....home team prevails

 

Any specific reasoning? Just curious.

I will have to agree with the home team theory on this game as well. I think Raceland is slightly more balanced than LC, and much more physical. However, I've never, in 35 years known of anyone getting a fair shake in Louisa in a close game. That's why I see LC winning by less than a touchdown.

I also agree with you about nobody getting the benefit of the doubt for being the away team at LC, however, I believe the Rams play with a chip on their shoulders and want to wash out the bad taste from last year's game.

Both teams should be at full strength. I can't wait for this one to start. I think the world of LC's coaching staff and this is our own Coach Salmons early stomping grounds. I love playing this game. A lot of mutual respect and hard-nosed football. Intense between the lines and attitude but friends after the game is over. The way football is supposed to be played.

Raceland's best athletes are their defensive backs, which also, I think, include a couple of 1,000 yard receivers? Between their DB's and Young, I look for them all to have big games. LC's defensive backfield has the potential to be pretty solid, however, that hasn't been the case so far. They show signs of being great on occasions, but I don't see it being consistent enough. I think Raceland by far has the better coaching staff, and will be more prepared than LC. Also, I think if this game was played at a neutral field that Raceland would win. However, knowing how close games end up in the Dawg Pound, I think LC may luck out?

Very well said Doc. I agree in every aspect: no respect for each other in the game, but very sportsmanlike and after the game is over, mutual reoect between the two programs. Every year it is a great game with multiple big plays and key plays. Love it!

You make a good point. Do you have any information on how good the front seven are for the Dawgs?

I watched the game between LC and F'view. Front 7 played well but F'view threw the ball about 103% of the time. Not sure how well they will attack the run game.

Nothing that in-depth. They don't have their last game's stats up yet. However, in the first four games of the season they are averaging giving up over 230 yards rushing a game. In the Fairview game, they gave up close to 400 yards passing. It is a very average inconsistent defense to say the least. A team that has descent talent and a descent coaching staff could pick their defense apart.

LC always has great talented kids. They always have the potential to be a good team year in and year out. After hearing that they give up 230 rushing yards/game, I now believe this game will be won in the trenches.

:thumb: Absolutely, LC and the Rams have had some of the best football games played in our area. There was a streak of a few blowouts with LC over Raceland but from the early/mid 70's (Louisa Bulldogs and Coach L. Varney). I also agree on how even though games were always hard hitting.

Both Raceland and Lawrence Co. play the game the way the Good Lord intended it to be played.

I hope that both teams remain injury free.

I'm sure Lawerence is improved since playing Fairview but we get a decent measuring stick to see how good Raceland is. I know My team Hazard held Fairview to 112 yards passing and 88 on the ground. That's not to shabby considering that Fairview nearly pulled out a win only losing by 2.

I think hazard is a better team than LC. They would run circles around the LC defense. They are better on both sides of the ball, mentally, physically, and are better coached. Fairview had an opportunity to win that game against Lc.

A little over 24 hours away....
