Newport loses a lot of key players to graduation this year. We will be doing a little rebuilding next year.

Mercer should be the District favorite in 05-06...

I agree. ther've been times on my way to the game i've turned on the radio for the pre-game only to hear music still being played. It's just very inconsistent. How long has KISS 107.1 been doing the games?

Yea there usally on by about 7:10 but Geez how many times can you cut out in 1 night. :madman: They have been doing the games for a long time id say 7 or 8 years im not really sure id say at least that long if not more. They was never this bad about cuting out last year.

Well, good lord willing, I won't have to worry about listening too them this week because I hope to be there in person plus I'm not one of those fans to watch and then listen to the game on headsets. But dress warm again, because the long range weather guy says the high will only get to 35 and their is a possibility of snow and the lows in the 20's. Crank up the hot chocolate and toastie toes.

I would think so, I thought I heard they return quite a bit from this years team. Is that right?

Any news on Jacob Sizemore? I seen him walk off holding his shoulder after the last play of the game.

I believe Mercer Co returns their entire backfield and 2 or 3 lineman. They should be tough.

Back to the Russell/Newport game. I did not get to go, but it sounded like both teams had chances to put the game away. But big plays by the star players for each team kept it tight. The fourth quarter must have had everybody in the stadium dizzy from watching the momentum swing back and forth.

Is there any updates on Sizemore's shoulder injury?

There are some good pictures of the game on the Russell football website for anyone that is interested.

I have no official word but I talked to him a little at school today

and he seemed to be fine.

They must have painted Newports field sometime Friday afternoon. I'm trying to get all the red paint out of my sons jersey now. :scared:
