Good post and yes I agree on Pikeville’s ability to run the football being a huge advantage. But don’t sandbag on Raceland, we’ve all heard about some nice new additions to go along with a great returning team. The question will be this year can you afford to completely stack the box and sellout on the run? You couldn’t last year. Pikeville still has plenty of weapons that can hurt you in the passing game but , in my opinion, opposing teams will feel a little more comfortable gambling this year until a QB arises and shows that the gamble is too risky.

IMO the biggest question mark for Raceland coming into this season will be whether or not our pure strength has improved.  In the past few meetings the Panthers have simply out muscled us and wore us out physically.  In order for Raceland to compete with Pikeville that is the biggest piece that needs improvement.
