[RAM-A-DEVIL]

I’m a jr high basketball coach at Raceland. I’ve coached the millions of hold backs you think the number is. In the jr class it was 5 kids not the entire class. Yes we had Covid hold backs but not near the number that I thought would take advantage of it did. We had seniors that could have played another year but not one single kid took advantage of it. We had a lot of really talented sophomores who did not take advantage of it. The numbers being spewed out in here are wrong. We’ve had 5 transfers in two years not 10 not 20. 5. The selling point is right off US 23. Look at the facilities they are well taken care of for that purpose. So kids and parents will drive by and see it. Like it or not but high school sports have become an arms race and Raceland is at the forefront in this area. By the way the turf was paid for with a nickel tax and matching funds from the state. Put that out there so numb nuts on here won’t say we used Covid money or money for education to build a turf field. One thing Raceland does very well is they don’t concern theirselves with what everybody else is doing. They do whatever they can for the kids to be successful. By the way where were you guys at when we were losing kids to Fairview and Russell and Ashland . We lose kids to other schools almost every year. Don’t hear anybody talking about that. I have an issue with anybody from western weed complaining about anything after what happened there a few years back. Also. Guess what?…..if the KHSAA decides tomorrow that a kid can’t hold back for any reason Raceland will be the first to fall in line. You read #thisis home and #its different here. You have no idea what you are talking about unless you are a part of it. Things are done right here. It’s a special place. I would invite anybody to talk to one of the transfers if you run into them anywhere. Ask them how they feel. They will tell you it’s like a family and they are treated very well.

Russell program appears to be headed downhill and Raceland continues to load up on transfers. To me, makes sense for Russell to end the series, especially with RPI being awarded the way it is.

Define loading up. What number would you say constitutes loading up?

---

Has Russell lost a lot of players to Raceland or something?

QB Lundy and WR Lykins were both Red Devils originally. Raceland also passed SB128. Russell did not.

Did west pass SB128? If not….why?

I would like to personally applaud TJ and Russell football.  Every local team that has the lambs scheduled,and has had kids poached from their program should do exactly the same dang thing!!!!  If raceland wants to build a high school travel football team,  let’s open up their schedule to do just that.  Hit the road 5 times a year to completely out of our area. 
Thank you Russell for starting the movement!!!

Define poached. It’s not like we got thrown off of Huntington highs campus for openly recruiting kids. I’m interested in that definition. I’ll expect a reply soon. Are you referring to the Arnett kid? I was right there for the beginning of that one. Matter of fact I was the first person his dad called when he wanted to transfer. He asked me for principal and superintendents phone numbers to get the process rolling. Said he wanted to make the move for the success of his child because the Fairview program was going no where. Is that poaching?

You guy’s should be thrilled!!!  Everyone knows you have enough 19 year olds and transfers that no local team can even compete with y’all anymore. 
I only pray that Runrunrun is spot on and everyone local drops you as soon as contract ends.
Pack your bags boys, y’all just to good for us local teams.  LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaaahhhh boy “if you build it…. They will come. But around here of course it’s ….” If you build it every body will whine like a little bitch”. Pardon my French.
