What's the health status of both teams as of now ? I know Pikeville returned two linemen last Friday from the injury list, and our starting center went down with an injury. No word on his injury so far. Hope everyone is healthy and ready to go Friday at Raceland. GO PANTHERS!!

I’ve not heard anything more on our center, but all others should be good to go.

All I heard it wasn’t broken but they thought it was a high ankle sprain

OUCH !! Get better soon Scotty.

In all seriousness though, i still cant believe this thread is even an option. Im super proud of BOTH squads for getting here to this point. Bc people from both sides have done their fair share of questioning their home teams ability to get past the 2nd round, let alone winning regional championships amd having a shot at going to the carpet. Through Cville in the mix on the other side and its really been one of the most interesting post season runs in a long while. No Hazard, no Paintsville, no Russellville...hard to believe. Love me some small school, single A, two way playin, one player going down can wreck it, high school football.

Bronson those Raceland kids are battle tested and it helps to have a crew of kids like the past 2/3 years for those kids to follow...

My hazard team had a stretch from 2007-2012. They got 1 title in that stretch but every team had that chance to win it.

2007 is a year if the star middle linebacker isn’t hurt they beat that LCA team because he made it tough to run on.

Just like 2008 it should of been Raceland vs Hazard. LCA handled hazard pretty easily the last game of the season but I knew Hazard would win when it matter and hell LCA had hazard Big star tightened that year. Heck if he stays at Hazard then they may of been the champion then.

[Scotty_Bronson]

Yea i remember that kid. I still have nightmares of him and the whitt kid from lca storming back from a 20 point defecit...lets not go there.

I have a son who plays this year and one who graduated last year I agree 100 % those boys who graduated last year left the program in really good shape as far as showing the younger kids who are now seniors how to work how to be a team guy . The group that graduated in front of last years group didn’t. It’s easy to see look on the sidelines Isaac is there cheering them on Nathaniel is helping with the QB’s wanting them to be successful. The coaching staff does a great job of not just saying family but meaning it .. damn that was sappy . Go kick pikevilles ass lol

Yes they are thanks, he likes to talk especially about his grandsons lol

[RamsFan]

Nut can whine all he wants.

1. If I am Paintsville with the regional championship on the line I ride my beast Div I RB win lose or draw, not go with hoping my freshman QB can win the game.

2. Paintsville dominated 2nd half BIG on both sides of the ball. Any fool can simply go watch the film.

3. 63 rushes for 101 yards in 2 games vs Paintsville isn't very good! 1.6 yds/carry!hh:

Fairly early in the game, maybe the first quarter, Tyrese left the game with an injury. Didn’t seem they used him in the run game much after that. He might have been hurting pretty bad.
In the last couple of drives for Paintsville, I assumed the pass-heavy play calling was for clock management reasons as much as anything else. I don’t think they had any timeouts by that point, but the incomplete passes made the last couple of minutes last forever, seemingly.

Just curious, what construction is going on that requires locking the gate to the field?

[Granny Bear]

I don't watch (or like) wrestling.

Don't tell Pulpy though!!!

Ram-a-devil where is the church? I have never been to Raceland? Does everyone have to park there or just Ram fans?

[RAMDAD50]

Stay on us 23 and go past the football field..you will see the field on your right from 23.Its your next right

[bac2369]

Anyway this game would be shown live??

Hey RamDad50 how is the parking, I seen it on tweeter an Ram-Devil mention it on this form about a shuttle because the parking lot may be full because of attendance.

[Scotty_Bronson]

The parking lot behind the stadium will fill up quicker than the Panthers under pants before halftime. Id say ita full by 530 w the tailgate. The HS parking lot will be full by 6. Theres alao a few side streets, chin st and there are a few spots here and there down greenuo ave you can sneak into. But kinda gotta know where to look for. But the church has alot of parking around it. As always, we will be as accomodating as possible with our facilities, cept for the 120x50 squared circle.

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Ram-a-devil where is the church? I have never been to Raceland? Does everyone have to park there or just Ram fans?

Just down from the field off of 23. Both high school parking lots will fill up quickly. Only game in town. There will be people from all over there.

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Anyone can park there.

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Hey RamDad50 how is the parking, I seen it on tweeter an Ram-Devil mention it on this form about a shuttle because the parking lot may be full because of attendance.

It's entirely possible 4 or 5 thousand people will be there. We are right next to the river. Lot of other schools will be there. Fans from Ohio will be there. We played LCA in the regional final in 08 and people were standing 5 deep on the track. 62 cars were parked on the highway watching the game. It should be a crazy atmosphere.

[Patriot1]

Thanh you guys for the information I appreciate it, sounds like it will be a great environment.Good luck to the Rams and Rams fans but GO PANTHERS
