Thoughts?

[Scotty_Bronson]

This one is ugly fast. Rams by alot.

[16thregioner]

Raceland has a bye month rather than a bye week. Thanksgiving is the next time Ram football should be of interest.

[Patriot1]

I do think this one gets ugly fast Raceland big

[64SUR]

Raceland 64
Betsy Layne 14

Not so fast ….. Raceland at LC at the end of the season will be a good game

You're right.  It may be mildly competitive.  Lawrence's 3 point win over Boyd doesn't lend one to believe it will be a barn burner, though.

Football is a funny sport.  Raceland could possibly go an entire season this year without having been in a single digit point spread game.

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Rams by eleventy billion

[Slic Ric]

Suplex City ... RAMS by a lot.

[Scotty_Bronson]

Did Bwtsy Lane lose everybody from the somewhat competitive bunch they had last year? They had a decent QB and WRs last year.

The QB  Mims graduated and is now at UPike. Shawn Dee Howell also graduated.

[The Scoop]

Our scoreboard at Betsy Layne may not have enough space to display the points that Raceland will put up. I just hope that both teams walk away healthy with no one getting ejected. Betsy Layne does have some really good athletes and some good young players as well but Raceland is just on another level.

Raceland - 1
Betsy Layne - 0

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Good lord! You got a running back with over 1200 yards rushing. That’s about 200 a game.

[The Scoop]

I will let you set the Over/Under for BL rushing yards Friday night.  I take the under

[Slic Ric]

I say the Bobcats will be held under 100 total yards rushing against the starters unless they happen to break a big run early.

[RAMDAD50]

I say this Raceland team will preform like most Raceland teams at this stage of the season…..uninspired

Is the football field the same address as the high school?

I don’t know…..the Rams may have their hands full Friday.

Music looks like the real deal at RB

I’ve never understood that.  When I played and we were against a team that we were favored to blow out those were fun games.  We always saw those games as a chance to put up as many points as possible at get some stats.  If anything the types of games can be used as an opportunity to improve areas of your game that you have struggled with all season.

Raceland should take a look at their orange brothers across the river for inspiration.  Ironton has a similar scenario in that they begin their season with their "rivalry" games in Wheelersburg, Jackson, and this year Johnson Central.  Then they turn, though, to the joke of OVC play.  They've scored on their OVC opponents on just about every play.  Not every drive...every play.  And they give up no yards to them.  Not no first downs...no yards.  I think the Chesapeake score was 62-0 at half.  Then they play subs and run it up the middle the entire second half.

The Rams need to get well past the running clock in the first half.  Get in, get it over with, and get out.  They'll be home from Betsy Layne before the games at Russell and Ashland are even over.

Really similar scenarios for Raceland and Ironton in that both try to face their "best" opponents early on and then have a couple months of zero competition.  Then they have to suddenly find the best versions of themselves when the time is right.  The best things that could happen for Raceland the rest of the way is for Lawrence to beat Belfry and come into that last game with confidence AND for the Rams to have to play Hazard in the state semis.  That may give enough of a taste of competition to be ready for Pikeville.

This is also assuming Raceland could beat Hazard should they meet.  Hazard is a good team and at this point in the season if they played I don't think either team would be a huge favorite and it would be a 1-2 score game either way.

[LacesorSpaces]

The Rams will cruise in this one. Don’t wanna jinx anything but my prediction is Raceland and Pikeville are on a collision course for late November…
