Russellville has so much speed at every position! Also have a very nice sized line.

I believe this is a very good Russellville team, I definitely think that NCC having to travel to Russellville gives Russellville the advantage. As a fan of NCC I'm hopeful this game is similar to the 2015 playoff game where a very good 12-1 Danville team came to Newport as a heavy favorite against a 8-5 NCC team with a young QB and walked away with a loss and NCC advanced on. As I was looking for what year that happened though I noticed even on the years they have lost in different rounds almost every time has been a one score game.

Any site to watch film on Russellville other than Max preps.  From what I can tell they look big and athletic in the skill positions.   Best of luck to both teams this Friday. 

[DevilMayCare]

Key matchup to watch: NewCath has leaned on the passing game a little more this year and Russellville's secondary makes plays on the ball unlike any I've seen at the 1A level this season. They've picked off opposing quarterbacks 19 times. Very athletic group and the safeties are long - both 6'2" to 6'3". 

Kolton Smith's ability to make good decisions with the football is of paramount importance to NCC's chances here. Anthony Woodard and Co. will be chomping at the bit to pounce on any mistake throws or 50/50 balls.
