Racelands attitude was totally different last night, from thr head coach on down. This would have been an easy game to mess up. Hyped up pressure, playing a home game 30 minutes away from home, disappointment from not getting your real home opener on your new turf. Plus, its Ashland. Sure, they were expected to be down this year, but we have stumbled against "bad" Ashland teams before.

This was the most mature Raceland perfeomance I have seen in a good while. We were never flat footed, physically or mentally. Guys flew to the ball defensively we were balanced on offense, both in play calling and personel. We did some really good things last night.

Kick coverage has to get a little more stable. I kept waiting for Jennings to reverse the field on us. Long snapping needs a little work, Lykins can flip the field on teams and thats a huge weapon for our defense.

Russell will be a better and more polished team next week than the one we just saw and their backfield really gets downhill. We will know more aboutbour physicality this time next week for sure.
