I can see the possiblities of this happening next year. Raceland wants it, Russell fans want it. GREAT gate money for both schools- standing room only.. and yes a STRONG possibility, lets hope and see.

I have not heard anything as of late but there was discussion of Raceland moving to 2-A. This would place them in the dist. with Prestonsburg,Morgan Shelby Valley, & Bath. I would like to see this and the game with Russell would bring back a rival of long ago. This would involve less travel than the Rams are now accustomed to.

I have heard the same thing also cville, but the talk on that has kind of died down. I also hope that the Rams go to AA, I have been wanting that for quite a few years now, and what I call for and a dollar will get you a double cheeseburger at McDonalds. :lol: As for the Russell game becoming a reality, it would be a GREAT $$$$ gate and revive some memories of an old rivalry for a lot of us old guy has beens :eek: . I would like to see it if it happens but like I have said in another thread it has been talked about for years and by now I really don't care if they play or not. When I was wanting the game so bad would had been the possibility of West C. moving to A, they play in class A in basketball but not football??? Then have Raceland move up to AA in that district then they would have had to play and it would be a district game also. This was a district that imo Russell and Raceland would have been in the top two or three every year. I also belive that Raceland would had faired a lot better in the first couple of playoff rounds in that AA region. You know what "if and buts" means though.

Even though it has been talked about forever I would like to see it happen. We used to have some tough battles in the 70's and there is one I would like to forget. The funny thing is I became friends with the brother of the guy that kicked the winning FG.

It would generate a lot of money for the schools and would give us something to talk about. If we move to 2-A we may see them come playoff time.

I am not sure but I think that Russell would / will be moving to AAA, maybe one of the Russell fans could give us that info.

Is the KHSAA still allowing people to move up?? I read in the article that they accepted some requests & denied others so I wasn't sure if there was a deadline...

 

Even if Raceland moves to 2A, Russell is 3A under he new set up so it will have to be a non-district game...We'll just have to wait & see what happens...

You are correct!!! Oh well, I enjoyed the thought for a few minutes anyhow!!!

I had already started to sharpen the chainsaw to cut wood so we could have a pep rally!! I gues I will also have to cancel the order of the firetruck escort.:lol:

A regular season game would be great. I made a lot of friends with some of the former Russell players that I played against. It would be fun to hash it out with them for a week.

Didn't Raceland lose to the #3 out of that AA district last year?

I believe that they did FBALL, what is you rpoint?/ Wouldn't that be the equivelant of Russell losing to Boyd Co. last year? I may be wrong but I believe that Boyd was #3 or maybe #2 in that AAA district. Seems to be about the same to me. I was just stating an opinion on how I thought that Raceland would do in that district. Seems to me that for someone who's team is supposed to be so much on a level above a team you sure are concerned with how they do:sssh: . Your post are just one example of why I don't really care if Raceland/Russell play or not. I could just imagine the post on here if there was actually a game between the two. Like I said. My post was JMO and not meaning to start anything else. I am through with you!

Yes, they lost to East Carter at home. But what did that have to do with the previous post?:confused: other than trying to cut someones opinion!

Kind of touchy aren't we.

Please read the bold print.

Seriously guys, what's the point in this thread other than to create or perpetuate bad blood between Russell & Raceland?? I know that probably isn't the intent & we can speculate all we want but, for whatever reason, it seems to always go to this...Let's just wait & see what happens with the schedules & then we can discuss it...

 

The banter between posters from both schools on here this year does tell me one thing...If this rivalry was to get re-started, there would be none more heated in the state of KY...
