Ram2001 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 What was your favorite memory as a Raceland Ram???
mexitucky Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Can I play? I remember going down to Raceland in the first round of the playoffs in '96. The stands were packed, the track was packed, and the hillside behind the visitors' bleachers was packed. That was one of my favorite atmospheres ever. If you ran out of bounds near the endzone, you ran into about 4 rows of spectators on the track.
Ram2001 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Just being in Raceland on a friday night, the place was electrifying. Also Being on the field after beating Newport Central Catholic in the 1997 playoffs, the field
UT Vol Fan Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Beating Fairview 13-0 in the playoffs.. or catching the 2 point conversion against LCA in the playoffs to go up 1 with 1 minute left.

Ram2001 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 if your on the other side, it might be a different story
Ram Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 That wasn't so much fun from my perspective. Come on, you've got to give us something.:lol:
JOHNDUNHOFT Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 When I was coaching with Lloyd High School we were playing Raceland in a Playoff game and they put us in the gym next to our locker room and we found a graduating picture of Randall Cooper "Coop Dog" and all of us coaches new Randy and got a kick out of it. Then when we went on the field to warm up the coach for Raceland took his team over on a practice area in the dark to warm up, it was just funny at the time. JD
Springsteen#1 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 As a True Ram we are still living it every year the Rams take the field. The blood, sweat and bile we left on that field an in that weight room still pulsate through every teenager boy that takes that field. We are a family that corrects are young when they don't live up to their potential and hug them when they give their all. Hoof understands as does his assts. even if they didn't grad. from Raceland they have been adopted into this family. We can't explain Ram blood to our wives, girlfriends or anybody else if you haven't done it don't even ask. Our best memories are yet to come."So let it be written,so let it be done".
Ram Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Boss, one of you best literary endeavors. My heart rate went up a little, when I read it. It's a Raceland thing, if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. People drive by Raceland schools everyday, and wonder what is so special about that school. If they would just stop and visit. Ask for permission from the superintendent to walk the halls, talk to the staff and students. Observe for a day. They would soon find out.

Seeing how this forum/website is dedicated to sports we often only hear about the athletic exploits of schools, in particular Raceland. We often miss out on other great aspects that are going on inside the walls of all the high schools that we mention on this website. I have heard "GREAT" things about the administration, faculty, and student body at Raceland. I was told the kids are very respectful and the school spirit runs rampant through the hallways. Sounds like a fantastic place. When you take a drive down US 23, you only have to look over toward the Ohio River to see all the great things that are being done on campus. Top notch facilities for a Class A school match a top notch administration and student body. I really don't have a favorite memory, but I can tell you I sure have enjoyed watching former Ram Aaron Pettrey kick for my Ohio State Buckeyes.

Thanks 3 high, we too are proud of Aaron as we are of all graduates of Raceland High.
