I am hoping that Russell will win this one. Both teams will pay hard, that's the sure bet. Should be a great game going either way. I will have to give the slight edge to the home team.

 

Fleming by 2 in a physical, hard fought football game.

Fleming in a close one........not sold on Russell's offense.

Russell has improved since they played Greenup in week 1 and I'm sure Fleming has improved as well. We will see who has improved the most this coming Friday.

I was going to say the same thing. This will be won by the team that has improved the most over the first 6 weeks. I pick Russell in a close one.

Russell 14

 

Fleming 7

Interesting that the majority of the posters on this thread are making a case for a Russell win....but the vote is almost 2-1 in favor of Fleming Co.

Russell's secondary will be facing, by far, its biggest challenge so far this season. Drey Boehm has picked off a pass in each of Russell's five games. He should see some opportunities to add to his collection tonight. The DL needs to pressure Crump and not let him sit in the pocket and play pitch and catch with his WRs.

 

Offensively, Russell has shown some signs of life the past two weeks. They've got to hold on to the ball and finish drives. The Devils can't afford to give the Panthers a short field and they have to come away with points of their own when the opportunity is there.

 

This is probably the most anticipated game between these two teams since 2004. They've been district foes for the better part of the past two decades. On paper, this could be the best game in the history of the series, IMO. Hopefully, the weather isn't a factor tonight.
