With the weather conditions this weekend, there’s a very high probability for injuries. The dominant Raceland defense is very non-injury prone, but even if star players Linden salmons, and Alex Headlee get hurt, there’s many replacements that are just as good or even better. Players Logan Fugitt, and Logan burks have been dominating on the Feild from the very beginning, and could tear the Spartans offensive line to pieces.

Here is the thing, Anthony is better than any back Raceland has--I agree.
But it's not hard for Sayre when you know one guy is 70% of the offense. I mean literally. Just key on one guy and sell out and do everything to stop him.
Raceland though has LEGIT 6 guys that can run the ball very well. Are any of them as good as a TRUE RB as Anthony? No. But they are so diverse it is a matchup nightmare trying to gameplan for all of them and know whats coming.
Yes, Sayre knows Raceland will run it. But to WHO?
Stiltner averaged 5.1 YPC against Ashland and 4.6 against Pikeville.
Arnett averaged 5.5 against LCA, and 8.1 against Paris.
Cooper averaged 10.6 against Hazard and 11.1 against Eminence.
Marushi averaged 5.9 against KCD and 4.6 against Paris.
All of these backs/receivers have a minimum of 300 yards rushing on the season and have combined for 29 TDs!
Just some examples of how it is going to be very complex for Sayre to just come out and say "We are gonna stop the run". Pikeville has literally 1 RB (a great one!) that they use. Raceland has tons of weapons, and the above example didn't even take into account Bloss or Ison who also have 6 combined rushing TDS as well.

This is very true. Anthony is better than each and every one of those players mentioned, he’s (great).Pikeville leaned on Anthony time and time again when Raceland has several (good) RB/WR type of guys. It’s like picking between a quarter and 5 nickels.

Give me the spartans love to see Pennington win the big one! Can’t count out the rams but not sure they can stop sayres dominate passing game.

I can see how you think sayers passing game will be dominant in this game but nobody is better at defending the passing game then max Burton and Landon bloss at  the middle line backer spot to have the ability to make the middle of the field become a no fly zone when he drops into coverage and at the same time be able to to defend the ran like he’s a brick wall when I say nobody I mean nobody can knock him to the ground on defense or offense I’ll add this to, sayers oline doesn’t stand a chance when linden salmons and Alex Headlee come off the edge they’ll have Pennington shaking in his boots on Friday linden has the ability to break down a offensive tackle with his incredible strength and speed and Alex Headlee is just a younger and smaller version of him so to have those two coming off the edge will surely dominate the ability to pass the ball and speaking of passing the ball raceland has a incredible young qb1 in Jake Waller I love the kid and his ability to run the ball when needed and just put the ball were he wants it, he lays it right into his receivers hands mostly everytime.

I agree. This will be an offensive battle and the one who is victorious will be the one who has a better defensive game plan because between the sayre short routes and the rams with their multiply offensive threats this will be a battle.

[oldramalumni33]

I believe the rams will flip a switch this go and around and start the game firing on all cylinders. I expect this game to be a shoot out both ways and have a combined total of over 70 points scored. Look for Coffman and Marushi both to have big days. In the end, I believe the rams will prevail and claim their first state championship. From being around the area, I know the city of Raceland will have every light on until 3 in the morning. No one will live this moment down.

Totally agree with this. I am more excited to watch this game than many of the other state championship games that follow.

Early look at the weather for Friday. The high is 34 and the low is 19. If there is any kind of wind this will effect both teams passing game. This would definitely help the Rams.

This is a mistake. Watch the weather in the Pikeville/Sayre game. It was way worse than anything Sayre will see Friday.  They get it out quick and QB threw it very well considering the conditions.  If I’m Raceland, I crowd the LOS and consider playing some press coverage and make them throw it deep. They like the short throws and the QB is smart and makes good decisions and he’s accurate.

Just for discussion fun. The wind was blowing but it wasn’t as cold during the Pikeville game. The high is 34 so im guessing it’s gonna be 28ish at kick off. Fingers don’t like to grip the ball when it’s that cold. It’s no big deal if you’re use to it but nobody is use to it haha. Just something to talk about but I’m sure it won’t play a factor.

[Belichick]

I think some Ram fans are way too confident in their ability to run the ball against the Sayre defense. I will be surprised if Sayre’s gameplan allows that. When you watch them on film or warming up and they don’t look very big, it leads to overconfidence but they play hard and they bring more than you can block. They tackle well. I think Raceland’s chances rest on their defense and ability to throw it. If they bully Sayre and simply run it repeatedly, it will surprise me.

Your new name is shocked because Raceland isn’t going to throw the ball. If they get behind then you will see them throw it more late in the game but it will be too late. Nobody is underestimating anyone. People are just giving their opinions on a football game.

I’ve only got one thing to say give Landon bloss that rock.

[Patriot1]

I like this Raceland team because they are more complete and definitely have so many pieces to play if they don’t lay an egg I see them winning by 2 scores or maybe more I don’t think Sayer will even score but I will watch it on the crappie network KHSAA has

I understand that and I know they’ll attempt to run it and they should but Pikeville tried that with some very strong young men. They looked slow and hurt because they were but that was still a good team. Someone said Raceland would have put a running clock on them. Please. Someone buy that person a clue. Rams had a one legged Brenden Anthony at Raceland and Pikeville turned it over twice and barely had the ball the second half on Raceland’s home field and the Rams still lost. I think Raceland has a great opportunity but I don’t think it will be because they line up and just bully Sayre. They may prove me wrong but I would be surprised not “shocked”. I think they have to mix it up some and keep Sayre honest and their young QB has to play well. Raceland has a good defense and speed but Sayre will be able to score. Everything in me says a 1 score game either way. First to 21 wins? Sticking with my call Sayre wins. Raceland tends to play tight and play calls are tight in this game but they aren’t looking at Pikeville this time and this is Sayre’s first trip. I just don’t think Pennington the coach blinks and I think they have and will show a couple more wrinkles available out of their sets to get them a few chunk plays. I think it’s hard to stop that offense with the guys they have this year if they play their normal game.

[ArmChairHC]

Sayre played against a depleted Pikeville secondary and they didn’t play against 35. They played against #17.5. Anthony wasn’t half of what he was against anyone else. Pikeville at 100% beats Sayre.

I would enjoy having dinner with you but I won’t be making the trip this year and you wouldn’t have to pay for dinner I wil

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

I want Raceland to win this game because of some of the posters from Raceland seem to be very much football guys but I don’t care how long you be around football at any school and I have been around football at Belfry and Pikeville the last few years but to say Raceland has a back better than Anthony on this team right now is a crook now he may develop to be a great back but no way in comparison to Anthony end of story

We had one in 2007 I would throw up against Anthony. His name was Brett Denton. Best back I’ve ever seen at Raceland. Nobody we’ve had since compares.

[foxbody87]

Give me the spartans love to see Pennington win the big one! Can’t count out the rams but not sure they can stop sayres dominate passing game.

I’m counting the rams out in this one because they don’t have a single db that can guard one sayre receiver and the rams won’t be able to move the ball because they don’t have a real qb

I think max burton in the best db I’ve ever seen did you see his interception he got against kcd? And another thing that jake waller kid is a real qb1 he’s the best qb1 to walk into raceland since Jake heighton he’s better then Pennington in every single way he could move brick walls with his bear hands if he really wanted to

I would assume you're "Max Burton" or someone very close to him?

I’m not max burton but I’ve meet the guy a few times he’s pretty cool that’s why i personally prefer him over the other corners

no yo-yo’s just some old school guys who love to talk highschool football.

A difference maker in this game for the Rams will be Jonah Arnett #11. He plays both sides of the ball for the Rams and is. stout player both ways. From making plays on the ground, in the receiving game and making tackles, that kid will make or break the season finale for this Raceland team. A year or two back we had a same type of kid who was in the position as Arnett in the State Championship. Connor Hughes was a difference maker for this Rams team when he lead them to a state championship appearance. If Raceland wants to beat this Sayre team, Arnett will have to show up and make his name known.

[footlongfootballer12]

Hello everyone! i’m new to this thread and wanted to clear up any suspicion of troll from this account. i’m here to strictly talk highschool football and share my non biased opinion on each team.

[footlongfootballer12]

My question is can sayre match racelands physicality and depth on both sides of the ball? I personally don’t think they can. the raceland roster runs about 3-4 players deep at each position and they all can play but that doesn’t make sayre capable of tearing up racelands secondary with the pass game. i look to raceland to have great preparation for the pass but look for sayre to prepare just as well for the run. the thing about raceland is they’re stacked for 2-3 years to come and should 3 peat if they win it this year. sayre loses a lot so i don’t see them making it back to the big game and thats why it’s crucial they put it all on the line saturday at noon. also off topic but why don’t they rotate the game times? i hate how 1a plays at noon on friday every year!

[Qb10 glazer]

I could see raceland pulling through with the victory just because they play some hard smash mouth football and sayre hasn’t been in a situation where they are losing by a lot like when raceland played highlands I also think raceland just wants it more this is there 3rd time here in 3 years and I think they want to take home the gold not the bronze this year

Can’t argue that point never seen him but I not saying Anthony is the best back I have ever seen either
