No offense, but the Raceland D will not be top 5 that Beechwood has played this year. That’s just being realistic. Pikeville has 200 plus yards in the first half alone on them, 300 plus for the game, all despite being behind the chains from almost the very outset of the game from penalties. I hope Raceland can beat Beechwood, but let’s pump the brakes a little about the defense. Good luck to the Rams.

The main point to the comment is Beechwood has played VERY few good defensive teams ALL season! Somerset, Simon Kenton, Corbin and Cov Cath! Now 1A especially, all the TOP Defensive teams this season are in the east! Paintsville, Raceland, Hazard, and by week 6, Pikeville! So yea without a doubt this Raceland team will be the best 1A defense that BW has faced this post season! Can't judge much against 1 half PHS. I can attest to the same if we're looking at it that way when raceland D had no answer for Paintsville in the first 3 quarters in the district championship game. When they came back in The Regional, different story. Raceland's D in the first half was FLAT last night, especially stopping the Run which is NOT what they've shown their capable of. Second half was better. This Rams team has to be firing on all 8 Friday night!!!
