The bottom line is the game will be won up front, and the team that blocks and tackles will win. Have to avoid turnovers as well.

Prayers from the Raceland RAM Nation.

He'll be home sometime today.

I'll take the RAMS at home...

Barring a miracle, there should be a running clock.

They lost last year to Bishop Hartley 62-6 at home.

Nice comeback by the eagles, but it seemed like PCC panicked, and had crucial turnovers late in the game. seemed like neither team could stop the other until the last few possessions.

Final ...44-37 Fairview. Yetts 280 yards rushing.

Fairview INT...1:32 to go.

After PCC turnover, Fairview scores and is up 44-37...PCC has the ball on their own 45 with 1:42 to go.

Fairview touchdown...2 pt. conversion good...37-37 with 2:30 to go.

After a PCC punt, Fairview 1st and 10 on PCC 45 with 3:42 to go.

Pike Central up 37-29 with 4:28 to go in the 4th quarter.

Fairview's up 22-18 at the half. The game is on WLGC 105.7.

Most teams don't have to rely on the 15 year-old end of that age group when starters aren't playing for whatever the reason...most schools don't even dress Freshmen for games, let alone start them. Secondly, as far as I know none of the coaches are allowed to play or have played one down of football this year. The game planning STILL HAS TO BE EXECUTED BY THE KIDS. Coaches can put the players in the best possible position to make plays, but the kids have to make the plays; the coaches can't do it for them. If you think our coaching staff is so bad, who would you trade them for?

If you truly think that this team doesn't have good coaches then you should be ridiculed. For starters, if Beach had played then Lawrence wouldn't have been within two touchdowns of Raceland tonight; no disrespect to the Dawgs because I do think they have a nice team. BUT..be realistic...Raceland started a Freshman and a Sophomore in the backfield tonight, & played another Sophomore who just came back from a season long injury, not to mention Litteral being out as well, and Wallace out on the OL/DL. And still had a chance to win against a good team. The Rams didn't have any speed on the corners tonight without Beach on both sides of the ball. Take away a few turnovers/mistakes, and Raceland could have/should have been up 21-0. Every time something doesn't go right doesn't mean it's a coaching mistake, and look at all of the facts before you start blaming the coaches. That's your reasoning behind anything that ever goes wrong in a Raceland game, and it's ridiculous, not to mention the statement about if they hadn't let Coal Grove back in the game, Beach wouldn't have been in there to get thrown out? Seriously? He would be in there even with the score at 34-13, because Coal Grove was still being competitive. Maybe if you watched the film like the coaches do you & understood their preparation work, might see some things differently. I see and know how they prepare, & there's not a staff in this area who prepares better than they do. Another thing you need to keep in mind; coaches make mistakes, but regardless of the preparation, you are still putting your fate in the hands of 15-18 year-old kids, and kids makes mistakes too.

RAMS will dig down deep and find a way to win this one.
