I'm sorry, but I don't think you could be more wrong. I think it's obvious there were many times last year when Russell clearly had better talent than their opponent, yet somehow they lost. Those teams were obviously more ready, or better prepared than Russell was.

I prefer to call it debating. Isn't that the purpose of message boards? Do you feel Russell has played to their potential?

Russell has the talent to win the 16th region next year, as a matter of fact they should with the talent they have. The coaching is what is holding them back. Russell finished 18-14 last year. That is very disappointing given the talent they have, especially considering 10 of those wins came against the bottom 7 teams in the region. Russell was 4-9 against teams with winning records. Do you consider that going in the right direction?

I agree. Russell hadn't played anybody. Kidwell has been a huge disappointment at Russell. Portsmouth whipped their butts tonight.

To answer my own question. Kidwell is 28-56 in his 1st three seasons at Russell. Stamper on the other hand was 16-14 in his only season at Russell, and gave OJ Mayo and Rose Hill all they could handle in the 1st round of the 16th Regional tournament. Russell needs to cut ties with Kidwell after this season. They deserve better.

Should be a dandy game. I'll take the Kittens by 5.

No wonder Russell cried so much about the Hunt kid transferring to Boyd County. Imagine how bad it would have been had he played for the Lions last night? Will Kidwell be given the same fate as Dodd? Anyone know his record as the boys coach now? Russell should have stuck with Coach Stamper when they had him.
