In addition, the winner of Region 4 will host the State Semifinal game against the Region 3 winner (District 5 vs. District 7 Champion).

 

What does that mean?

 

The #1 seed from District 8 (Greenup Co., Boyd Co., Lawrence Co., Rowan Co.) will have home field advantage until the State Championships. Coach Sammons mentioned this at the 2007 Football Banquet.

For the semi-state round (fourth round), the champion of region 1 will play the champion of Region 2 while the champion of Region 3 will play the champion of Region 4. The team representing the even-numbered Region shall host the games in even-numbered years, while the team representing the odd-numbered Region shall host the game in odd-numbered years.

I've been hearing that some of the coaching staff from last year might not be back. Have they moved on to other jobs or is this a decision by the head coach. Coupon 21 and Sun any insight?

There is no stopping Russell.

 

You might as well say that Russell will go 15-0 this season.

 

Drew Abrams is a beast. Their line reloads each year with fast guards to pull on the sweep, boot, trap, and counters.

 

 

I believe that Russell just has to show up and run their 6 plays to win the game.

 

sweep

boot

trap

quick dive

reverse

inside counter

 

 

That's a gutsy prediction isn't it?

Just a question, but who will be the RB taking snaps...or what everyone else calls a QB?

:fire:RUSSELL will win everybody on this post knows it unless russell gives them the ball [unforced turnovers] its Greenups only chance. All you have to do is stop the three basic plays russell runs. GOOD LUCK !!!! Greenups only stopped it 4 times in 20 years. Russell nation will be ready its a promise.

I messed up.

 

The regionals have District 6 playing District 8 in 2008.

 

4A District 6

 

Boyle County

East Jessamine

Lexington Catholic

West Jessamine

Sun, are you sure? In the minutes of the meeting, when they changed the playoff format, it had 4-1 playing 4-2, 4-3 playing 4-4, 4-5 playing 4-6 and 4-7 playing 4-8.

 

Every bracket had an even district and an odd district, with the even hosting, for like seeds, in even years and odd teams hosting, like seeds, in odd years.

You're right...it is 7 vs. 8.

 

I should have stuck with my first choice. KHSAA hasn't updated that page yet.

 

Here is the news with the correct information:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL 17, 2008

 

BOARD APPROVES FOOTBALL PLAYOFF/TRACK STATE MEET FORMATS

 

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control approved format changes to the state football playoff brackets as well as the State Track & Field Meet at its regular meeting Thursday in Lexington. For the 2008 season, football bracketing for Classes 1-5 will return to “out of district” cross bracketing beginning with the first round. Previously, the four teams qualifying from within a district would play in the first and second round based on district records. For the 2008 season in Classes 1-5 the bracket will be:

 

District 1 (1) vs. District 2 (4);

District 1 (2) vs. District 2 (3);

District 1 (3) vs. District 2 (2);

District 1 (4) vs. District 2 (1);

 

District 3 (1) vs. District 4 (4);

District 3 (2) vs. District 4 (3);

District 3 (3) vs. District 4 (2);

District 3 (4) vs. District 4 (1);

 

District 5 (1) vs. District 6 (4);

District 5 (2) vs. District 6 (3);

District 5 (3) vs. District 6 (2);

District 5 (4) vs. District 6 (1);

 

District 7 (1) vs. District 8 (4);

District 7 (2) vs. District 8 (3);

District 7 (3) vs. District 8 (2);

District 7 (4) vs. District 8 (1);

J-R, you seem quite enthusiastic about Russell Football-- let me ask you a question.

 

Since Russell is unstoppable, how did the following teams defeat the Red Devils over the last 5 seasons? In other words, what did these teams do to make a difference in the game? (With the exception of the Simon Kenton game, it appears that shutting down Russell's offense was the answer.)

 

10/12/2007 Simon Kenton 42 Russell 41

11/23/2007 Breathitt County 20 Russell 17

 

09/02/2006 Ashland 24 Russell 21 (3OT)

12/01/2006 Mercer County 15 Russell 12

 

09/09/2005 Boyd County 33 Russell 14

 

11/26/2004 Belfry 39 Russell 17

 

09/05/2003 Ashland 33 Russell 14

10/17/2003 Estill County 35 Russell 14

11/21/2003 Lloyd Memorial 30 Russell 12

:thumb:In that case, my predictions stand.

 

The #1 seed in District 8 will still have home field advantage until the State Championship Game.

I've been hearing that some of the coaching staff from last year might not be back. Have they moved on to other jobs or is this a decision by the head coach. Coupon 21 and Sun any insight?

 

If any coaches have officially left the team, then that is news to me. I had heard that all of the coaching staff from last year has been present for some part of either weightlifting or spring ball.

Yea, the even districts have home field in the even years.

 

The upper seed has home field, and the even district will have home if the seeds are the same.

All I can hope for is that one of the players has not made this dumb prediction that Russell cannot loose. Because they can as you have indicated. I would say that Russell should do well this year but that is not what this thread is about. It's about how Greenup will do. I like Greenups chances this year and wish them nothing but the best. I don't think they will win the first game of the season but after that game I see them doing very well. Good luck.

The only one I know of that might not be back is Coach Warnock. He has taken on a new position at the hospital that he works at and does not know if he will have time. I hope that he stay's, he has coached this group of boys that will be seniors since the 6th grade, and I know that he and the boys would love to finish out together.

To my knowledge, no official announcement has been made at the high school concerning Coach Warnock not returning for 2008.

It would be nice to see people that didnt play last year to come out like Zack Reed (great running back) Dakota Greenslate(another great running back) Austin Stringfellow (he is liek 6'3 and a outstanding WR would help Craft out alot):thumb:
