As for Hazard, I thought they showed up and showed out. I disagree that this wasn’t Raceland’s best effort. Hazard played tough and pushed them to the brink. Credit where credit is due.

As for Holy Cross, they’re far too young to compete with Raceland. This game won’t be close. Running clock. And yes, it’s as simple as Raceland showing up. This game has already been won off the field.

As for Pikeville, that’s a different story. They’ve got 17 seniors and I suspect most of their juniors are as close to 18 as you can get if not already 18. That will be a game where it’s men against men. That stuff matters a lot in football.
