When I was in school we won District Titles in baseball, basketball, football and a state championship in Track. Of course if the playoff format was like it is now we would've more than likely had a regional title in football too. Maybe even a state runner up but Pikeville was awful tough that year as well. But anyways, that's a story for another day.
That district title in football meant more than all of those to most people. Even more than having Raceland's only state championship. Don't get me wrong it was great to win a State Title. But it just seems like not to many people care. With all that said I'd have to say Raceland is a football school. It was when I was there and I think it is even more so now. Why? Because it's the most important sport to the school. To the fans, students, faculty, etc. I think that's what determines what type of school you are. Not to mention kids are leaving other area schools to come play football at Raceland. You could make an arguement for that fact alone. People take it the most serious when it comes a Raceland athletics. If you see someone at SuperQuik chances are you could ask them what Raceland's record was in football and they could tell you. If you asked them about Basketball or Baseball they probably wouldn't have a clue. I don't even have a clue myself honestly. A good example on the college level is Virginia Tech they have never won a NCAA title in football. But football is most important to that school. And most would say they're a football school.

But on to more important things. I would think the head coaching job has been going to Coach Maynard for awhile now. He's to good of a coach to be sitting in second place as a assistant defensive coordinator. If he thought he wasn't going to eventually become the head coach I think he would've left to become so at another school. As far as the offense goes it should be interesting to see. Is the offensive line going to be strong enough to entirely convert to a run type offense? That offense only works if you have the big guys up front to run it. Just ask the Russell Red Devils lol.
