It seems like Raceland has as good of a chance of winning class A this season as perhaps any other year ever. Pikeville appeared to graduate a lot of their main players.

What continues to bother me, though, when assessing Raceland's chances is their lack of a star player. They have a bunch of good high school players and they make the most of what they've got, but they don't have that one big time talented threat that other teams have to account for.

You can talk up the schedule and it's entertaining that they're bringing in Highlands and LCA, but a really meaningful transfer would mean more than playing every state title team from last season. That's what would put the Rams over the hump in my opinion.
