Just watched the game on ihigh. Raceland's OL really suprised me. Young had plenty of time for the most part. Bailey Walker NEEDS MORE CARRIES. While we have good speed at the WR position, we really missed the breakaway speed of a Daylin Beach tonight from the backfield. Long and Baker are just flat out FAST. But, if u take away the big runs of Baker...he didnt do a lot. I think Raceland out coached the Cats staff. They shoukdve quit trying to get to the edge and ran more traps/couters between the gaurds(whih they dicd some of in the 2nd half). Raceland has alot more speed defensively this year. This was a great early season test for both teams. I think it did exactly what it should have done and should do each year.

-Provide a Playoff atmosphere
-Raceland competes with numbers, size, and speed it likely wont see until the 3rd round of the playoffs
-Both teams find out what they need to work on early.

Do either of these schools have the ability to make it to BG? I dont know, I do however , know full well that they will both be in the thick of things. Ashland has some thigs to work on defensively and Raceland needs to shore up the b gaps as well. Offensively, Ashland justneeds to get Baker the ball and let him get moving N to S quicker. Racelandhas to shore up the turnovers. I'll be interested to see the stats of the game. Raceland could have folded but didnt, same could be said for Ashland. Already looking foward to next year's matchup. Good luck to the Tomcats the rest of the season!
