RF04 is doing great. Didn't mean to take anything away from him. Thank you RF04!

There you are OR! I was wondering about you. The Friday night update thread just wasn't the same without you!

I know of one girl who transferred a few years ago from Raceland to GCHS to cheer. She has since graduated.

I agree with Ram. The smaller, independent schools in this area traditionally are the ones that have strong programs.

Great Job! Congrats Raceland!

thanks for the updates, OldRambler. Where are Big Fig and Cvillecat tonight?

This was probably one of the best high school games I've seen. Congrats to the Ramblers.

My mother was a true football mom back in the day. She had two boys on the field, one son in a stroller and me cheering on the sideline. (I'd rather been playing football!) I can remember her soaking the boys' pants in the bathtub,trying to get out the grass stain in time for the next game. She would always say, "When is Raceland going to get orange and black pants instead of these white ones?" LOL but she loved every minute of it. She set a very good example for me.

Congrats Raceland! Thanks for the play by play, OR and Big Fig. You guys did a great job!

Thoughts and prayers from Raceland. I lost my parents only 22 months apart. Only my faith has carried me through.

My goodness! You guys were up late last night. I don't know about togas, but I certainly have a good contact for t-shirts! (tubby's best friend).

Thoughts and prayers from Raceland.

I agree with you Ram. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. And that is what the Lady Rams have had to do during V'hoof's injuries the past few years. The others have had to step up their games and if there is a silver lining in the midst of injury, this has been it for the Lady Rams.

Once a player has requested a waiver Bylaw 6, his request is denied, and his appeal is denied, what are his options? Can the player return to his previous school and be eligible to play, or is he ineligible for the next year regardless?

I completely agree. Whose rights are being violated here? Suppose a local resident who is a medical professional decides to accept an better offer for employment in Lexington? No layoffs, no job loss; just the opportunity to climb the ladder of success. He/she accepts the offer, sells the local home, buys a new home in the Lexington area, and bases that location/school district decision on what best suits his/her children. Eligible or ineligible? What good parent wouldn't consider the many schools in that area and choose the one that is the best fit for their child before purchasing a home? I agree rules have to be followed, but exactly where does one draw the line on how much influence the KHSAA has on where one can choose to live?

Congrats to Lawrence Co, although I expected GC to win. Both teams represented this region well. Good luck to LC in the next game.

Lawrence Co. 4 - 0 bottom of the 5th...

Incredible story.

That is the beauty of message boards. We all debate, agree or disagree, and move on. If we all see it the same way everytime, we'd only need a news report for clarification.

I must retract my first impression of the video. I shared the video with the authorities of the household, (two softball players and one baseball player.) They all concur that the pitch did not hit the batter's helmet because of his reaction. He holds his hand out to signal the runner to stay on third, instead of advancing toward first base as he would had he been hit by the pitch.

I am checking out the youtube video right now. IMO the pitch hits the helmet of the batter, hits the ump in the arm, and then hits the catcher in the back. I feel the catcher was merely reacting to the sound of the ball hitting the batter's helmet and ducking to protect himself. I don't think this was premeditated at all. Just mho.

Brooke Wilson, point guard for Raceland, also played on this team with Kayla. I am not sure of the other two girls' names, but I do believe they were from Ironton.

Isn't his daughter a teacher at Russell? Or maybe it is the middle school, but I know she is in the Russell system.

That is just exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Peyton is a great kid and a stand out athlete. He'll continue to be successful at any college that is fortunate to recruit him.
