Final.

:dancingpa Congrats to the Raceland Rams and the "ORANGE CRUSH" Defense. Raceland comes alive in the 2nd half with some big time turnovers/interceptions to get a win over a very good Fairview team. Hopefully this will secure a home field playoff game.

Another district title matchup with LCA is up next week.

 

Rams.....Enjoy this RAM HOMECOMING win, you deserve it!!

Congrats to the Rams. As oldrambler said have a great homecoming weekend. I didnt get to hear on updates who is our homecoming queen?

Congrats to the Rams, but I am sorry to say that I knew they could right the ship this season. Remember say one on a theard was saying they would be 3-7 after the Rams lose to GC. I still think the Raceland has one of the best coaching staff in the area if not the best.

It's very possible we will face Fairview again in the playoffs. I'm not sure how it works, and if it's the same way it was last season. If it is, I have a pretty good idea who will be playing who in the playoffs.

I certainly won't argue with that statement. :thumb:

Absolutely on the coaching staff. It has been said for many years on bluegrass the boys have to buy into what the coaches are saying. I believe they are heading that way.

I am not sure either RF, Ram could tell us for certain. Should it be the same setup this season then we will probably meet Fairview again in November unles we pull a major upset next week at #1 ranked LCA.

I'm glad I got to go to this game as I chose not to make the rainy drive up the AA to watch Russell.

 

I thought this was a really good game that was clearly won by the Raceland defense. They stifled Fairview the entire game. They stopped Fairview's running game and they pressured the QB the entire night. About all that happened positive for Fairview on offense all game long was the TD pass in the 2nd quarter on the short field given up by the Rams.

 

On offense for Raceland, I still think the quarterback looks great when given time to stand in the pocket. When he has to scramble, though, I think he simply needs to go ahead and tuck the ball and run 9 times out 10. He seems to be a pretty decent runner, but he doesn't seem to complete a lot of passes while being pressured. The Raceland running backs were pretty much bottled up for most of the night as well. I expected more explosiveness from the running game. There were also some penalties that stopped drives. Those obviously need to be cleaned up.

 

However, credit should go to the Fairview defense as well. They didn't budge a whole lot, either. All in all, this was a good old fashioned defensive battle decided fittingly by an extra point and an interception taken back for a TD.

 

To sum it up, special teams for both teams weren't bad. Defenses for both teams looked good, with Raceland just a little better. Offenses for both teams were spotty, again with Raceland just a little better.

 

Congratulations to the Rams on the win and Fairview on the hard fought game.
