Crappy snow cone and the scareview beagles need to hit up Huntington high again. What do they have to lose?

When will the statute of limitations expire for anti-Fairview comments?  The whoopings the McPeeks put on the Rams were more than a decade ago.

Raceland fans complaining about transfers from another school is throwing stones at a glass house.  I love my Rams but let’s be real here and admit that Raceland has benefitted greatly from transfers wouldn’t have been nearly as successful as it’s been in the past decade of not for kids that came from other schools.  Mocking Fairview for getting kids from Huntington is laughable because the two best female athletes in Raceland right now came from Spring Valley (WV) which is basically the same area that the kids from Fairview came from.

Fairview really didn’t do anything different other than expand their range from where their transfers came from.  Their big mistake was playing an indelible kid because if his age (which was wrong no doubt).

I think a lot of people hate on Fairview from that time because they were the school from the other side of the tracks that started being successful and was beating wealthier schools thus disrupting the status quo.  Had Raceland, Russell, or Ashland been getting the kids that Fairview was getting nothing would have been said but because it was Fairview they were subject of ridicule.

As for the program right now, I think the realignment may be in their favor. Outside if Raceland the competing in the district isn’t completely unrealistic. Maybe not this season but in the next couple of years they could be competitive with Paris and Nicholas County if they improve season to season.
