Lets keep our spirits high and not let down on those boys. My last post was just an example of how something can get out of hand. Being around ball all my life there will always be people that have to find the negative in every situation. We expect our kids to keep their heads up and try harder next time. Lets show the example. Practice what we preach. The players and coaches need us.

I should have wrote after the game but i had to go home and put some ora gel on my tongue to numb it. I am afraid some of us could not watch the game due to a couple of men in the stands. We are suppose to support our Rams in good and bad. I will admit that it did cross my mind who was calling the same plays or did they not know that Beach was covered.Use our other receivers but that is not for me to question. I was sitting on the other side of some Raceland senior moms and could plainly hear and see what was going on. This man would get on his phone(speaker on) and bash the team every play. I am asking all parents, grandparent, former coaches, etc. if you attend the homecoming game please control your actions for these kids. The Raceland family is better than that. That off my chest, we are wishing the Rams a big homcoming victory.

We are all glad he is partial to the lineman and the linebackers. Sometimes reading the paper you would never no they exsist. Glory goes to whoever has the ball. This has been a different year for them getting to hear about the Orange Crush or how the defense Rammed them. Good for you guys.

All players are doing fine. Players that went to physical therepy yesterday just had some strain of which is being taken care of. They will be 100%. A note on last nights JV game. Raceland won over Greenup. Freshman quarterback Bobby Mckee stepped up for Boyles and did a fine job. Piercy and Tolliver ran well last night. Freshman Johnny Shearer had some key tackles at the end to keep Greenup from scoring again. Freshman Loren Huffman had an interception in Greenup territory to help keep the Rams on Top. Congradulations on the win JV. Lets keep the orange crush going into Friday.

Statements like this could cause a Raceland Riot. Brooks needs back to the basics guide for football and basketball. How many has he lost or going to lose in both areas before he gets it. A friends grandson said Aarons sister was updating her friends on ICQ. An exciting time for that family.

I am not sure who you are rooting for. We try and not bash any team. We all have good games and bad ones. It sounds like you need a little pick me up. Would you like a parade or a bottle of Orange Crush?

Rogers and Thompson went to therapy today but i would guess everything is going to be fine and they will be back at practice today and on their game. It does seem like our running game has been effective the last two games. But as soon as you put all your eggs in one basket one may have to go through the air. I would think coaches are equally working on our passing game and running game. I again predict a close game and a true battle on home field. LCA will not go down without a fight. Orange Crush will pull this one out on a close victory.

Coach Vanderhoof ask some of the team as he was leaving did they sing. It's a family tradition every Friday night and quite often everyday leading into Friday night.

I think if you go to the Ashland/Raceland Game quotes is where this is coming from. The Ashland fans did seem like they were attacking their team and everyone around it. It was on their own area on BGP. It was only a few and then after the win with Belfrey they seemed to have perked up some.

It should be a great game. I have not heard if Boyles is feeling better. I know we have a linemen that is hurting. He will see the doctor first thing tommorow. Hopefully they will all be healthy and ready to go

I know the rules about no sour grapes on the calls. Greenup County came to play. I said earlier I thought it would be close. I just hate it when late hits causes a team (no matter what team) to have a player get hurt. A big thanks to all the other teams for supporting the Rams on the site. Congradulations on another win for Ashland and the other winning teams last night. I go back to the statement one game at a time. Monday back to work.

Everything that I am reading was totally correct in my opinion. There are some linemen that I know that have the results of being blocked in the back. I saw the facemask. I saw late hits. I saw a Greenup player receive the ball on kickoff and put his leg down and then try to run right in front of the official. I think he actually was going to see if he would let him do it. Why do the officials think they are actually helping a team with lack of calls. We have a friends son that was not hurt on the field at that time but started hurting afterward and is really hurt. Parents say lack of calls. He should be fine by Monday.Congradulations to the Rams. Congrats to the coaches. I hate to play a team and have to play the refs too.

Hope the last statement didnt sound like I was down on the team but it is always a good reality shock when mistakes happen and you come that close to losing. Everyone agrees with the fact it seemed like running the ball was gaining our yardage. Everyone also agrees that our defense was on the field constently. I personally did not think this game would be easy but I also didnt think we would have made so many mistakes. The coaches did an excellent job keeping the boys in the game. Not giving up seemed to be the key tonight. Now lets go back to the mentality game by game. TBF, you are sounding a little bitter about the fire trucks. Parents are going to do what parents are going to do. Please dont lose sight of that. The team follows the coaches. They celebrate when the coaches say this is a game to be proud of. Just my opinion of course.

Sorry you got behind that fire truck but it wasnt suppose to be called from my understanding. No coaches knew and the boys knew they didnt come to play like they should have. No celebration. You dont celebrate a game full of what could have been costly mistakes.

Practice is going extremely well however they are taking nothing forgranted. Offensive team proved they can step up when a player is out. Defense have played together for years. Forrest, Rogers, Thompson, Caldwell, Logan, Stephens, etc. are all in sync this year. Ram fans hopes are high.

Freshman came was cancelled yesterday aganist Lewis County. They didnt have enough freshman players. The entire team will practice together today. Hope it is a good one. They were really working hard on special teams yesterday. They know they are up aganist a really good qb. I assume construction at East is still going on so folks get there early to park.

Portsmouth West hired a new athletic director. The old athletic director did not pass on the schedule of games. I do not know if this was just for JV or Varsity also. I think everyone involved hated it due to it knocked our JV out of practice and like you said gas for everyone that went.

Ram fans need to be asking around to see if we can get the radio station that does our ballgames on Saturday morning some sponsers. Families were notified that they needed sponsorship to stay on the air. Maybe some of the politicians running for office will donate to keep us on the air.

i was a little dissappointed last night I thought Cville was going to sing the National Anthem and ride around on the fire truck. I think he had his ticket and concession stand visit riding on it. Maybe he will make his debut at the next home game.

The defense worked extremely hard yesterday. It looked like each defensive player was blocking two or three players at a time. The coaches really got them fired up. They looked rough when they got done but excited because of a very good practice.

Maybe we could put him on the firetruck and have him circle the field while he sings.

I not only would buy his ticket but take him to the concession stand. He has to sing it all the way through. I am sure Mr. Farley would hand over the microphone for that.

I am sure the Rams would appreciate Cville's prayers. They could use everyones prayers for the entire season.

I did think there was one more touchdown. I will check my facts better next time. Did a touchdown come back because of penalty?

TBF, your score is correct and you are also correct on Tyler with the touchdown.
