I'll be surprised if this one doesn't go to the wire. Russell has looked really good on defense the last two weeks and this might be the best East Carter team in a long time. I'll take the Devils in a close one because of the defense, and especially if they can build on the Ashland win. I think Charlie Terry's going to give them problems, though.

Based off that if East Carter Keeps it under 14 they will be doing good. I think 14 is safe based on that.

28-13 is the closest  game in the series that I see dating all the way back to 1998.

0-0 after 1.

6-0 East with  6:35 2nd quarter.

12-0 East 2 turnovers have hurt Russell so far. East’s Charlie Terry has been most of East Carter offense.

12-0 East Carter at the half. East is playing some inspiring football right now on homecoming night. The fact they only beat Russell 1 time in their history may be playing a part to. Tim Champlin has East believing he’s doing a nice Job with them.

East last beat Russell in 1997.

20-0 East 3rd quarter.

Too much passing to the sidelines and not enough over the middle or to the sticks.

Have the Raiders got 24 more minutes to pull off the big upset? Go Raiders, but there is a lot of football left.
