2010devil

I think they were wanting the directions to Putnam Stadium. Lots of big games in the state tonight.

me to!

Look, you have to admit, whenever the fans and community are behind you and cheer the team on, the team seems to want to win or at least try. Don't get me wrong I know Russell is down to comparable standards of just the last 3 to 4 years. I know I am a little spoiled. I just want to show some encouragment to these young men and the coaching staff. I am looking at these kids accomplishments through the years. Yes there have been some kids come and go, but for the most part they are the same kids. Doesn't seem to have the heart they use to have. I think it is there just trying to find it. I won't pout if Russell gets bet, as long as they play hard all 4 quarters and play with emotion and heart.

Give me a freakin' break. The negativity is pulling the devils down. Look at what the Raceland fans are posting. All positive. If the Devils go out there Friday night and don't believe then they probably won't win. So come on Russell and be a little cocky and know what ability this team is capable of. And yes all the players from previous years team were very good players. But, thats's just what there are, alumni. So make your own statement Russell players. I believe Russell can win and I believe they will win! There is nothing that this team is not capable of doing! SO ROCK ON RUSSELL!!! :ylsuper:

I think Ashland could win in 3A. Not only that but they sure have a shot at winning the 5A.

I think so to, Russell has Ironton on there schedule in 2009 and 2010.

Simon Kenton's has a great team. Lots of speed. Best back that Russell has seen in a while. Russell will be just fine in the next couple of weeks.

Just what I was thinking.

Depends on who wants the win the game more Russell or Mason.

Doesn't surprise me, Ashland has a great team. Very underrated. :devil:

As a Russell fan, I will have to go with Ashland. Not many teams in this area will stop Ashland. Very good young team.

Congrats to Ashland

Does this make him a good quarterback?:laugh:

Very well said! McPeek won't be at Fairview long enough to prove himself. IMO, Rock on Rams, well until you play Russell!:fire:

I could not have said it better.

I am pulling for Russell. Advantages for Ashland - at Home and they are hungry for a big win. Russell advatages - 3-0(not reaslly been challenged yet, although Boyd is very underated) and Russell knows how to win. The "D" will be the BIG factor in this game. Russell has 1 more very large advantage and that is Gary Morris. Remember Russell players, Defense wins games!!

Golfer Dad you are exactly right. Russell is the best team in the surrounding area and The Daily Independent hardly ever covers them. It sounds like that not only does Johnson Central have a football team, they also have a great school system. If you will notice schools who do well academically also do well athletically.

The only other choice Russell could have done not to score so many points was to put the JFL in.

This year's Russell Jr.'s wore Greenup's Jrs. out as Freshman. Unless Greenup has a lot of really good Sophmores or new players, I just don't see this happening. But good luck anyway.

Always a winning tradition. What will we see this year?

Sorry you feel that way, but I will have to disagree. The up coming Jr.'s have a lot of true athletes, such as Jones, Rice, & Smith just to name a few and much depth. As Sophmores these kids got a lot of Varsity play time. I don't know much about the upcoming Sophmores. But there is a huge jump in growth and development of the kids from a Sophmore to a Senior year. The kids seem to have to dedication to what it takes to be a champ, and certainly our wonderful coaches do also. That is not to say that we won't miss the Senior running backs in 2009! I also foresee more Juniors in starting spots than what you believe.

Russell has what it takes to win. In the next 2 years, I expect Russell will have another state title under their belts.

Although a lot of there kids don't live in district. I continue to wish Fairview the best of luck.

I will have to go with Coach Morris at Russell.
