Well...they played a 4A team from BG. Which has not worked out well for the Panthers in the past...

The last three times RHS has played Warren East:

2019: Lost 48-0

Now get to play what looks like the best Glasgow team in awhile.

2010: Lost 49-24 to a 2-9 WEHS team

Ended up going 9-4 and lost 14-17 in the Regional Championship to Tilghman

2009: Lost 42-16 to a 1-9 WEHS team

Ended up going 8-5 and lost 14-21 in the Regional Championship to Tilghman

People forget how small Russellville is. The Panthers play:

East (4A)

Franklin Simpson (4A State Champs)

Glasgow (3A Ranked team)

Logan Co. (4A winner of 20 games the last two years)

Warren Central (4A and winnable)

Somerset (2A state ranked team)

I think the Panthers actually have a decent 1A team if they can survive the non-district schedule!

Russellville is extremely young. They will be fine once they hit the 1A portion of the schedule. Coach Benton will have the Panthers cookin’ in a couple of years.

macdon, I think this is all true. My concern is with their thin numbers how many will be healthy enough to play come district time. As you mentioned, Russellville is a small town and their footprint is only so big and they are playing schools way bigger. I hope they can weather the storm and come out with enough guys to make a run. I'm not sure they have anything for Crittenden County in their district this year though. In coming years, it should be competitive. But Crittenden County has around 53 guys on their roster. Russellville has half that. In 1A football that matters. But Russellville has some good players, but they are clearly a 1A team.

Running clock in the first half.
