I agree with that assessment. After the first quarter I thought we were going to get blown out. After that they settled down they gave the LCA defense all they wanted. This was a game that was 2 stops on the goal line away from being a Raceland victory. LCA did what they had to do to get the win so hats off to them. I heard an unofficial stat that we were dead even in total yards at 358. Other than the scoreboard this was a very evenly played game.

The team speed for LCA was unreal and they ran by the defense. Raceland’s best defense last night was surprisingly the offense. We had good long sustained drives that ate up a lot of clock and pounded the ball down their throats.

This was a game that Raceland could have won but it came down to not making the plays that needed to be made on the goal line. My only gripe about anything from this game was the drive right before halftime on 4th and goal when we were called short. On film it looked like he scored and even the LCA announcers said that was a questionable call. That score would have sent us to halftime down 13-7 and could have changed the whole landscape of the game. But it is what it is.

Overall though this was a great game for both teams to prepare for the playoffs. LCA has a good looking team but as was said above they have some discipline issues was can hurt them down the road if they face a team like Beechwood or Mayfield.
