Final

 

 

Russell breaks an 11 game losing streak to Greenup County and grabs the 2 seed in the 63rd district tournament.

Tremendous atmosphere at the Marv tonight. That place was alive. Great to see this bunch of Russell kids get that Greenup monkey off their back.

 

Great offensive balance from the Red Devils - six players scored between 8 and 15 points. When Russell's on, they can be pretty good. They were on for about ⅔ of this game and led by as many as 21. Greenup clawed back in the later stages of the third quarter going into the fourth. But, unlike the first meeting at the Greenhouse back in December, Russell had enough left in the tank to secure the win.

 

Gotta tip the cap to Greenup's Brady Nelson, who led all scorers tonight with 33. What a game from that young man.
