When the game was tied at 7/7 LC was 4th and 15 from midfield. Instead of using their punter who is averaging about 40-45 yards and putting Raceland inside the 20 they go for it. Interception, which actually cost the rams about 10 yards. This was a desperation play you use in the last 2 minutes of a game you are behind in. no patience by the coaching staff. going backwards.

Idk if its Raceland's offense and all the playmakers scaring cosches into thinking all is lost, but Lawrence, Coal Grove and East Carter all did the exact same thing. Got down 2 scores and started slinging it. Raceland Capitolized in all three games. Its going to take balance to beat this Raceland team defensively. We are really good at bendingbut not breaking inside the redzone. We rarely have to have an extra DL or DB. Im amazed at what we do in our base defense.

In regaurds to the status of LC football, I think its bc for years many hae talked about how much talent was waisted roaming the halls. This year, the tallent and skill guys came out and in 2 games everyone lost their collective minds. It takes time to build things up or build things BACK up. Cecil has made strides. Look what Hoof did when he took over for BTR, had a few hickups, but began to build it back up. Made it to a few regional finals appearences. Passed the reigns to Maynard, he builds on what hoof left, gets a Regional Championship.

I have a friend of mine that builds guitars out of Grayson, KY. Being a musician I had always been baffled by his work and consistency. Its been nearly 10 years and he is just now really getting his name out and makig his signature guitars a mainstay in the bluegrass world. I swear im coming back to football soon.

I asked him why he thought it had taken so long to reach success. He responded with, "Fast in and your fast out. What happens when a fire flairs up in a skillet or on a grill? You put it out as fast as you can. Slow and steady wins the race and slow and steady growth builds longevity"

Raceland has one Regional title and i think around 20 district titles. Yet everyone always talks about the program. Nothing special really, but we have always hand long term coaches. 5-10 years is the norm. Some were there longer. Dawgs, dont grow weary...give it time. Cecil is a good coach.
