Richmond vs. Scotland

[paulraiderfan]

I just read the Laurinburg Exchange and saw Bailey's statement after Scotland's' loss to Pinecrest quote: “I really do feel like they’re (Pinecrest) the best football team in the conference".

That should be some good Raider locker room material to post!!

Fighting Scots defeated by Patriots | Laurinburg Exchange

SOUTHERN PINES —The Fighting Scots football team was defeated by conference rival Pinecrest 43-36 on Friday night at Pinecrest High School. Scotland still has not beaten the Patriots since the 2017-18…

Not sure what he was thinking saying this. I'm sure it is posted on the walls of the locker room and weight room. Why give your rival extra motivation?

What do you mean?
The way I read it is that acknowledging the strengths of the opponent can be a powerful motivator. By recognizing Pinecrest as the best team in the conference, it not only shows respect for their abilities but also sets a clear benchmark for the Raiders to aspire to.
This kind of acknowledgment can fuel a sense of determination within the team. For instance, when athletes recognize the level of competition they’re up against, it often pushes them to elevate their own performance. We’ve seen this in various sports where teams rally together after a tough loss, using it as motivation to improve and come back stronger.

Moreover, this statement could serve as a wake-up call for the Raiders to assess their own strengths and weaknesses and remind them that there's always room for growth.

Just my 2-cents!

Just for context RC beat Pincrest 36-7.

Also, the last time Scotland played at Raider Stadium Scotland prevailed 22-21! I hope this game will be another classic between the two teams, regardless of their respective records. Me and my family will be making the trip from Raleigh, can't wait!! Also thank you sec2011, Richmond completely dominated Pinecrest in a blowout 36-7!
