But I think OR said the seniors finished with 60 wins.

He did but he was mistaken.

7-5

10-3

10-5

11-3

.

60 wins? If you go 15-0 for 4 straight years you can get 60 wins. Did some of these seniors play as middle school players? Just curious.

Raceland has 61 wins, 4 Region titles and 1 State Finals appearance in the past 6 years.

Ferguson was not let go by Coal Grove. He left on his own. Not sure why. Inquiring minds want to know.....

Shout out to the Schmidt Family who owns several Bdubs for feeding both Pikeville and Raceland this week. It was so nice to go to the Ironton, OH restaurant and enjoy the large party room with our team, coaches, dance team and cheerleaders. It was a heartfelt and appreciated gesture from the owners. Thank you!!!!

^ Coach Salmons is always preaching “the little things”. I agree with you ATL, except who wins the game.

The home team has won every game between these 2.

I concur with all the comments about our offense. That being said, we weren’t supposed to be good enough to win last year, either.

Great job tonight for the Rams. I am so proud of them.

To date the past 6 years;

60 wins, 4 Regional Titles and a finals appearance with more game(s) to follow.

I wonder how the Paintsville Field is due to two days worth of rain? Anyone know?

I hear it’s muddy. I hope that the rain stops soon enough and the high amounts of sand on the field allow it to dry out some.

Lol....... that’s guaranteed!!!!!! Good prediction though.

I don't understand why I can't win at the casinos with my keen capabilities. LOL

My prediction?

Beechwood will NOT score 100 points in this game.

Johnson Central wins big.

I feel the key to the game for Raceland is the passing game. If Jake Heighton keeps up what he has done so far, we are in good shape. If it goes like it did in the regular season match up, we are in trouble. In 2 playoff games, Jake has thrown 10 TD passes and 1 INT that actually bounced off our receiver and into the defenders arms.

I guess we are it.

I expect to have an ulcer by the end of the 3rd qtr of our game @ Paintsville.

Doc, I found this picture of you and a few of your buddies from over the weekend...

I hope everyone was using proper lifting technique.

I may or may not be treating them as we speak.

Coach Trimble is getting the basketballs ready in Raceland. I can't believe we are playing for the Region Championship. I hope we stay in this one.

Playoff history between these two in the 6 class era:

 

2017 Reg. Final at Paintsville - Raceland 31 Paintsville 14

2016 Reg. Final at Paintsville - Paintsville 21 Raceland 14

2015 Round 2 at Paintsville - Raceland 20 Paintsville 15

2014 Reg. Final at Raceland - Raceland 32 Paintsville 21

2013 Round 2 at Raceland - Raceland 42 Paintsville 12

2012 Reg. Final at Paintsville - Raceland 31 Paintsville 14

2015 was won by Paintsville 20-15.

Evenly matched. Toss up. I’m just glad we made it this far.

Hate to hear about any injuries. Will he be out the rest of the playoffs or is there a chance he can come back?

Without breaking HIPPA laws, we are hopeful he can return. Depends on a lot of factors.

Good luck, Devils!!!!

After a rough start to the season, Coach Maynard has had his team playing well. I look for Russell to be focused and get the W.

I doubt many of the Russell fans thought they'd be favored to win game #8 and a chance of playing a home game for the Region Championship after game #3 this year. Great job coaching and an even better job of kids buying into what they were being taught and going out and producing.

Add to the above a long road trip across the state to face a quality opponent makes me think that even though Waggener is capable of winning, I'd expect Russell to by a couple of touchdowns.

I am not being argumentative with you but this comment always blows my mind. The long bus ride should not affect 16-19 year old athletes. It affects us 50 year old's with bad knees and backs that ride with them. LOL I am of the opinion that long bus rides being blamed for bad play or losing is just an excuse.

Grass, mud, turf, gravel or concrete :lol2:…. lets go get a W ! Actually, I am glad the game has been moved to BCHS, will be far better press / coaches box, fan seating and not to mention the most important …. a better playing surface for both teams. Rain is the one equalizer. Should one team have had a huge advantage in any certain area, that may become even.

 

On a side note …. I feel certain that the Raceland-Worthington schools admin. would gladly allow this one to be moved to Raceland … just say'n

I had this discussion earlier in the week with Coach. He said, "I don't care where we play the game. Let's line-up in the parking lot, it's fine with me."
