[GOREDDEVILS]

I know we mentioned Ethan Oborne out for season per TJ but if you look at the Ashland Daily Independent Preview for Russell TJ is talking about Ethan Oborne stepping in and replacing Conley this year. I don't know when the Russell Preview was completed with TJ but the date is August 20th for the date of the Russell Preview. TJ talks a few times about Ethan and Doug Oborne in the Russell Preview Article that came out today. The new QB for Russell Rose was impressive in Junior Varsity at QB and with his size he should do just fine both at the pass and the run. Another big plus for Russell is having Scott Grizzle assistant coach on the offense side of the ball and working with QB's. Grizzle was the head coach at Greenup County from 2016-2019 and those 4 years Grizzle brought along Eli Sammons at QB and he was one of the best QB in the area during those 4 years. Grizzle will help QB Rose this year and the other QB's coming in at Russell. We talk so much about Belfry, Ashland, and now Russell on how much each team loses but these 3 teams always manages to restock on both offense and defense each year. These 3 teams by end of the season will be ready to play and make noise in the Playoffs.

They Don’t just write those previews the same day they release. They are written ahead of time to prepare so they can get it ready for publishing. I heard  it from from TJ’s own mouth
about both kids being out.
