At the end of the day, this is high school football. How many of these kids on Raceland's and Russell's rosters are going to play in college? One or two total. The boys on both teams play because they love the game of football. For all we know kids from both schools met at Giovanni's in Flatwoods after the game and shared a pizza. Adults in school administration, social media, and in the Raceland and Flatwoods area have ruined a fun rivalry for all thanks to a blowout that would never happen again. Adult feelings got hurt and it was decided to stop the series. I learned quickly when I coached Pop Warner that adults are the downfall of youth sports. Who cares if a bunch of kids want to go to Raceland, same if all the kids go to Russell. Let the kids play and enjoy the final years of their childhood.
