Hazard had a good team and played tough.  If it wasn’t for the red zone turnovers we would be sitting here talking about how we lost by a couple of scores.  But it didn’t work out that way and we advanced.  I don’t know much about Holy Cross but we have to do better next week if we want to go to Kroger.  I also watched NCC play last night and I’m glad they ended up going to Pikeville because I’m not sure we could be beat them.

There are all kinds of ifs and buts. If Raceland would play with a safety on 3rd and long we would’ve had two interceptions last night that would’ve stopped Hazard drives before they even got to the red zone cause the lame duck passes they caught in the middle of the field were bad passes. If Raceland runs the stretch play more and uses its speed on the edge we probably win by two scores cause we averaged 10 yards a carry on anything off tackle. If Lundy doesn’t hesitate on that int over the middle we score. Lots of ifs and buts hahah

Bottom line is we don’t play our best football and got exposed in a few areas we’ve gotten away with against subpar competition.  The positive I’m taking from this is that Raceland hasn’t been in a dogfight 4 quarter kind of game all season and they were able to find a way to win.  As far as next week goes, we have to tighten some things up to make it to Kroger.
