QB
Raceland's Lundy has 1966 career yards passing vs. Ashland's Strader who has 11.

RB
Raceland's Wallace has 1442 career yards rushing and Farrow has 824. Ashland's top 2 returners are Clutters with 88 and Brown with 77. Not sure either will even get a carry.

WR
Raceland's Hughes has 1230 career yards receiving and Newman has 999. Hughes would have more but he had to play QB for a season. Ashland's Jordan has 381 and Brown has 141.

LINES
Raceland's lines are old and experienced, having amassed well over 100 career starts between them. Ashland's lines are young and inexperienced, several getting their first career start.

ROSTER CHANGES
Raceland got Lykins from Russell and Webb from Symmes Valley. Ashland lost Pittman and Thacker to Ironton. Another lineman who would have started, Pereira, isn't even on their roster anymore.

This is a mismatch on paper. Like I've said, if Raceland manages to fall short this year by losing either of these first 2 rival games or not at least competing well for the state title, I would question the coaching. They have a loaded roster that doesn't come along very often, particularly for a class A school. The only thing I can see they failed at was getting a D-1 player that could break a TD on any play. If I were them, I would have tried to lure one of Ironton's backs across the river since there won't be enough carries to go around over there. That aside, even though the Chinese calendar would say it's not until 2027, I would say 2022 is the year of the Ram.
