To cool everyones jets a little, Ashland and Raceland have delt with virtually the same crap the last, who knows how many years. Outside of Ashland winning a title in 90, if you compare apples to Apples in the grand scheme of things, neither has been able to live up to lofty expectations and the countless times the statement "this is the year" has been said. Bith have ran into buzz saws on their way to either a title or at the least a title shot. For years Ashland had Johnson Central, Cov Cath and FTH. Raceland had Beechwood, NCC, and LCA. Ashland has a title, yes. But that was over 20 years ago. In the last 2 decades, by comparison, Ashland and Raceland are on the same level in their respective classes.

Down to this ball game again. My dad and i were talking and he said something i hadnt thought about. When looking at 2 solid programs from different classes, that on paper are only seperated by, say 1 or 2 touchdowns. You can just about throw everything but one factor out the window...DEPTH.

Ashkand has has the horses and studs to beat us before snd they have. But it was our lack of depth upfront that caused us to be gassed, cramp, and wear out late in the 2nd quarter snd late in the game. Imo, you dont see that this year and that in fact will be the difference maker. Make no mistake about it. Raceland is deep upfront and Raceland is good upfront. Its going to be a great game in a great atmosphere. But for now...im ready for West Carter and the Raceland Hall of Fame game tomorrow. GO RAMS
