Any idea if Highlands v South Warren is the 1st game or 2nd game in the Rafferty Bowl???

5PM Kickoff so first game. 

Heres a sweet graphic with the schedule:

Why would Highlands schedule a Class A team? Raceland has had a fine program for many years. This just shocked me.....but I give the Rams credit for doing it.

Highlands is rebuilding and this should be a guaranteed win against an opponent worth playing.  Sure it may not help their RPI but in the grand scheme of things I don't see any issue with it.

I understand the logic, but felt they underachieved last year while "rebuilding". I assume Raceland was looking to boost RPI or profile by playing in NKY. Wonder if there was a financial component to this game? I assume this is a one year deal. Would be shocked if it's home and home as they complain about travel..... unless it's to BOWLING GREEN lol.

Rome wasn't built in a day and I think Highlands is smart not to overschedule.

I believe I saw way back discussing this game on the schedule was to replace the McNicholas game from last years schedule, which was only a 1 year deal, so you are correct in stating that I think this is only a 1 year deal with Raceland coming to the Fort.

Raceland may be the favorite to win it all in 1A in 2022.

Which makes this a great game for the Rams.

Smaller schools almost always have higher RPI’s because any win they get above their class is an RPI boost. If Highlands doesn’t win this game comfortably, then they better do some soul searching. No way should they struggle at home against Raceland, and if they do then they are further away from competing than I thought.

I will go on the record right now, I predict a running clock victory by the Birds.
