[4th Down]

I agree, McKee is is a good defender.  He will play good on anyone he goes against.  Also, Raceland will for sure need to throw more.  I think if Raceland runs 60 plays, (just a guess), then they need to throw 20 plus times.  Eveyone wants to talk about Sayre's receivers, and they do have some good ones,  but Raceland has some good receivers as well.  You don't here as much about them because Raceland is a run heavy offense.  The games I have seen, they have two or three solid receivers that can get open, catch, and gain yards after catch.  Ison and Rowsey are two starting receivers that played last year in the championship game.  I think Raceland should give those two at least 5 to 8 targets a game at a minimum.  Rowsey is finally healthy and making plays.  Ison is continues to make big plays and gain big yards after the catch. I feel lson is there go to receiver when they need a big conversion.  Don't forget about Arnett, another good receiver and a good running back.  Rister also has good hands and can give you big downs.  All of these guys have what it takes to take this team to there first state title.  Everyone knows the running game is good with Marushi leading the way.  As for the QB some think is a problem, Waller has done just fine.  He is not a flashy QB, but he is smart and makes good throws.  The problem is, they need to call plays to let him throw.  Give him a chance to get the ball to his receivers. 

I feel like this game is going to be a good one.  Both teams have good players.  I think the big difference is in this game, who is gonna leave it all on the field and who is gonna play it safe.  This is it, you play your best athletes and you throw everything you got at your opponent.  There is no tomorrow, no regrets.
