Hey I will eat my crow if I am wrong. I’ve done it before. Been wrong…just ask my wife lol that being said….

Sayre has to be able to stop a stable of RBs for 4 quarters. They can load the box. That’s what the last three teams did. It worked for KCD for 2 1/2 quarters. Then the fact that we had 4 kids playing one way upfront defensively and 5-7 kids playing one way upfront on the OL began to cause issues. Couple that with having 3 WRs that don’t play defense unless they are needed (btw I expect to see them get time Friday). But Racelands depth is where the advantage lies.

Sayre will have to hit big plays early to win the game. Raceland isn’t coming into the game looking for a shoot out. But imo, they can do just that if need be. But if this game is low scoring in the first half, Raceland will win by 2-3 scores. Their depth and physicality just keeps going and going. I said at the beginning of the year this was the fastest, most athletic, and best in shape team that I had seen at Raceland in a good while. Even the big kids move well and there’s lots of them. I’ve watched a lot of Sayre games now and they are lacking depth, imo.
