For the record, I’m all for Raceland or any other school accumulating as many players as possible in an effort to make a run at a state title.

However, you seemed to want someone on here to play the “devil’s advocate”, so I figured I would throw a few jabs…how many of Raceland’s top 11 tacklers on their defense live in the Raceland school district?  My bet is if Raceland just consisted of Poplar Highlands and Old Farm boys, it would be a good game between them and the current version of Fairview.

I’m a true blood Ram and was in the district K-12.  I also lived in district when I grew up.  That being said, I have not lived in the Raceland school district for close to 20 years and will likely never live there again.  Assuming we are still in the tristate by the time my daughter reaches school age she would be an out of district student.  I love the small town that I grew up in but it is just that, a small town that has no real growth outside of the school being there.  I can see why people would want to send their kids to Raceland without actually living there because the town itself is pretty dull.
