Not so Fast my friend!! I believe the Raiders can keep this one close, Russell is good, but not as good as the last couple of years. If East can take care of the football, this one may just surprise some folks. Teams just don't seem as intimidated as they have in the past when playing the devils. Good luck to both teams!!!

 

Yeah I have noticed a lot of teams coming into the Hank and winning. The jersey still carries a TON of weight in this area. Dont fool yourself.

If the Raiders keep #8 in check on both sides of the ball they can stay in this,but 9 other teams have tried this and failed.Russell is a very good team.I think they're a little over rated this year,and I mean a little before anyone gets insulted,but they win this contest,East is not over rated.

 

Russell-34

 

East-13

Russell 48

East Carter 12

Here is my guess.

 

Russell 20

East 10

Russell Red Devils

Playoff Appearance: 24th

All-time Record: 37-21

 

East Carter Raiders

Playoff Appearance: 14th

All-time Record: 4-13

That's a great point. It's like having a second season. That kind of experience is invaluable to a program that competes deep into the playoffs year in and year out. I think that's where the term "Reload instead of Rebuild" comes from.

I hope the Red Devils are ready to play,because I think East would like to get in on some of the reload action.
