Imo, Raceland will be better offensively in 2018. Much more diverse. They lose Webb and some guys upfront, but will return a crop of tallent in the backfield, with J. Adkins, Lacks, and one of the best atheletes in the area in D. Adkins. They return several big OL and several juniors to be, will be very effective defensively upfront as well. This OL will likely be more atheletic than last years, but still have plenty of size. On defense I expect us to be a little quicker upfront, but not quite as stout with losing Fairchild (DT/NT) and Whitmoyer(MLB)in the middle amd losing Furgeson off the edge wont be an easy hole to fill either. But we return a secondary that was solid against both the run and the pass.

That being said, I expect a better regular season record in 2018, but dont know about how deep of a playoff run will go. I do feel confident that we will win the district again and be playing in a regional championship game, but Pikeville was legit last year and they were young as can be. They lose one senior off of a team that was a last second field goal away from playing at Kroger Field. But hell, I didnt think the 2017 team woyld make it past the 2nd round last year. I just know im already ready for some Friday Night Lights.
