RamDad, you’re right.  I don’t know the first thing about high school football.  I honestly thought this game would be competitive.  I was wrong.

Russell came out of the gates pretty dominant until the QB threw an ill advised interception from the 5 yard line.  From there, momentum changed and it was an embarrassment for Russell.

Credit goes to Raceland, though, as they opened their new turf field in an unforgettable way, by bludgeoning their rival who they are certain to get more players from now after that rout.  Like I’ve said, this is their year.  I know Pikeville stands in the way, but no one else does.

The Rams played real tight in the first quarter. I’m sure the kids felt the pressure of all the festivities leading up to the kickoff for this game. I told my son driving to the game if we can get through the first quarter everything will be ok. Russell has about three kids that stand out and the rest kinda clump together. Honestly…..I’m kinda worried about Racelands line play. We don’t break off a lot of long runs at all. Through two games of varsity competition….7 quarters…. I would say we have one run longer then 15 yards ….maybe?? Someone will have to check that for me. The passing game looks great!! We need to keep slinging that rock baby….looking good! I believe Lundy killed a kid tonight hahah. As far as Assland and Russell goes …..I think Assland is a better team and they should win against Russell.

If Russell doesn’t throw the pick in the end zone in the first quarter and goes up 14-0 this thread is a whole different conversation. Russell had all of the momentum to start the game and that play took the wind out of their sails and they never recovered.  Raceland took advantage and stepped on the gas and never looked back.  This Ram team plays with an aggression that I haven’t seen in a long time and outside of Highlands I don’t think there is anyone left on the schedule that can play within 3 scores of them.
