Ashland has had some success recently against Ironton but all those wins were at home. We haven't beaten them at Tank since 90. Raceland would have to be 4 or 5 scores better then Ironton at Tank to win. If your not REFs will keep Ironton in it. Tailback and Fullback will run over around and by everyone on Racelands D. Ironton would be a tough out against any 1a school in the state of Kentucky this season. Baker and Long are faster then fast and probably the fastest players Raceland has seen. Paledino is bigger and at least when we played them faster then either. Kid is a STUD.

Ironton is very good, but to say the RAMS would have to be 4-5 TD's better at Tank to win is ridiculous. I know all about Tank and the officiating, but this is not the same team that played Ashland early in the season. Let's be honest here...Raceland has progressed nicely while Ashland has regressed. If they played again Raceland would win by at least two scores. If it wasn't for 3 consecutive turnovers Raceland would have left with a win regardless.

We may very well get blown out or lose Friday, but I don't think that will be the case, plus Raceland hasn't played at TANK in several years (if ever), so the atmosphere won't be the same for our school as opposed to someone who plays there every other year.
