Been a solid atheletic year for the Rams. Every sport saw action at the state championship level. Congrats to the seniors that graduated this evening. Thank you for the memories. That made this one of the most, of not the most, over all successful years in Raceland Atheletic history. Now, back to the thread....who will be the next name we talk about this coming season? Seems like every year there is a sophomore that steps up to fill a roll in a big way. Grizzle, Denton and Carver, Robbie Logan, Kane Snyder, Judd Adkins, Adam Elkins, all made impressions as Sophs and went on to have great careers for the Rams. Who will be the next guy up?

My only concerns are the QB position!!! Seems like we are really good or really bad at this position.Have to be able to throw the dang ball!! And I’m not sold on a kid coming in and being successful in his first year starting!! I hope I’m wrong but I think this might be a carbon copy of last year.A So so team that kept getting better to only be held back by the lack of offensive productivity

I dont RD. I think that Heighton is capable of making throws he needs to make to keep tes from loading the box. If the Itown kid ends up coming back to Raceland ( or likely from what I hear), but if he does, we are right back in the mix to be the favorite out of the east. If not, we are still a top 3 team and I think Heighton has alot ot potential to be a great QB.

Grizzle, Elkins, Boyles, and Davidson all came through and started as sophs or jrs. Josh Young was a 1 year starter. They all had experienced OL and a great bunch of backs behind them and sure handed WRs. Not much different than what the incoming QB, whoever it is, will be walking into.

Scotty couldn't agree more about the Vance kid he has worked very hard to achieve what he received a couple weeks ago 👍 congrats to him

Rd jake will be fine take couple games to settle in but he has something that a young qb needs and that is to really great rb in the back field
06-15-2018, 12:45 AM
Field doesn't look too bad but still a ways to go first coat of black top is on the track

06-15-2018, 02:45 PM
Pictures will be forth coming

QB will be upgrade from last year
06-15-2018, 04:41 PM
Qb will be a upgrade but r line should really be good on both sides and r back field will be great assuming we have no injuries

Your backs are very good and that pass to the back coming out of the backfield really worked well. If the passing game steps up the Rams are going to be a really good team but with that said we are coming for you we owe you one and as always go PANTHERS!!!

i hate it, but ur right. not just at Raceland though. all iver the state. until you get into the bigger class systems, theres just not a whole lot of variety when it comes to that.

Slic rick u don't make it we're we was without one of the top linemen in the area lutz always said give me a half way decent back and the best line and I will make him a superstar 👍
06-18-2018, 03:53 PM
our line was very good last year. the running game just was not complimented by a consistent passing game to keep teams feom loading the box. we had alot of one one one coverage last year, but couldnt take advantage of the speed we had at wr. the line, the run game, and our defense, imo, was championship caliber.

Started with bad choices with personnel!! Shoudvent went with a freshmen at QB and we would’ve been much futher ahead this year.We made the same bad decision years ago with Boyd at QB...he should’ve played the slot and rolled with Messer at QB but that was then.We just keep making the same mistake but it’s easy on this side to realize that after the decision has been made
06-19-2018, 03:43 AM
Boyd?
06-19-2018, 01:53 PM
Ram dad starting this kid being a sophomore is a good thing starting him as a freshman I am not a fan of the kid that was there last year done ok and made it to a state championship I feel like they got things there lined up very well to be a contender for atleast next 3 years 👍
