You win one Region & your the 2nd best team in the area?
Wowzers

Recently, yes Raceland has been one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the area, without a doubt. Look at the records, Raceland has beaten every area team they have faced with the exception of Ashland (who is probably #1 if JC is considered out of our immediate area). Raceland lost to Ashland by 1 point this past season, very early in the season. Raceland defeated Russell 5 of their 6 games in the recent Rail Cities Bowl matchup, and that was 5 in a row, fairly easily... sorry Russell may have the State Championships but if we are talking recent area football, Russell is an afterthought.. 1. Ashland 2. Raceland/Fairview ...... Everyone Else. Look at the scoreboards.

If we are talking HISTORICALLY than yes Russell is 1 or 2 right up there with Ashland. But the past few years, Raceland, Ashland, Fairiview... everyone else has been pretty bad.
