Blaze and I have been talking and I have one major concern with tomorrow’s matchup with Hazard. That’s the QBs arm and #13(think that’s the number/big ol boy TE/WR) if Raceland has to put 8 in the box to contain Johnson. 13 is a big match up problem.

I think Hazard has more depth upfront and if Raceland makes the same mistakes they did against Paintsville, it could make things very interesting. That being said, Paintsville passing yards were a bit misleading. We sold out to stop Phelps at times and made them beat us through the air. Granted, we weren’t disciplined at the CB spot and got burnt a few times. But it was all between the 30s really.

I don’t expect it to be that way Friday night. I think you will see us play in a more balanced defense. That being said, we have always used an Athletic safety to roam the field to aid in stopping the run. That’s why the middle of the field scares me so much with the big WR from Hazard.

Hazard will likely break a couple as I think they are better and deeper than Paintsville. We shout ourselves in the foot early against the Tigers with 2 bad turnovers. We scored on almost every possession otherwise.

I’ll if I have made a prediction on a score yet, but my new game prediction is…

20-7 Raceland at the half
42-14 Raceland final

If there’s a running clock, it will happen late.
