As long as Russell keeps the penilties down and fumbles I believe they come away with this one.

 

 

Russell 41 :fire:

 

Newport 17

I think this will be a lower scoring game than most expect. The team with the best defense will come out on top. If the field is muddy it will favor Russell, IMO.

I think Russell will win, but it will be a close one.

 

 

GO RED DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!! :dancingpa :dancingpa

Russell by 10+....If they control the football....

Russell vs. Newport

 

Regional Titles since 1959

 

Russell 8 (2 in 2A and 6 in 3A)

Newport 0

 

Playoff History Since 1980

 

2002 (First Round) Russell 31-14

Newport is a completely different team then usual and has one of the most devastating offeneses in NKY. Not too sure how good Russell is this year, but Im pretty sure Newport will put up alot of points.

 

Newport-34

Russell-28

Newport-34 Russell-28

 

I really don't see it being this high scoring of a game. Although it could be.

 

I'll say Russell-21

Newport-14

 

If either team scores THAT many. Should be a great game.

I think Newport pulls out a close one!

If the rain from Tuesday night/Wednesday morning doesn't dry up or if it rains Friday the field may resemble the mud slop that the regular season Bellevue/NCC game was played in at Newport Stadium.

 

You can view the pictures from that game and get an idea from here.

I think Russell will win this game. They need to hold on to the ball and don't turn it over.

Your about to find out how good Russell is Friday no way Newport scores 34. :ylsuper:

Any more news about moving the game to a different field? I know that a couple of years ago, we moved one of our playoff games to a different field because ours was in bad shape as well from previous weeks of rain games. I don't know if KHSAA made us or we did it on our own.

 

But if we do have to play, we only need to remember last years game at Belfry and their field conditions. As we all know it will be extremely important to hold onto the ball. Take the yards they give us, but the RB's and QB's must MUST put 2 hands on the ball and cover it up and hold on, because I'm sure Newport will be trying to strip it all night (just as we should)
