D will be drawn and quartered if he leaks anything. We have just been having troubles picking up a third game.
hh:
NOT TROUBLES... JUST AVAILABILITY.. Russell plays Greenup, Ashland and Boyd first...
Then they pick up other games after that..... The issue is who wants to play us and when can they actually play. Supposedly we had Hurricane, WV... but they called back and said "I dont think so"....... Teams have been called in 200 mile radius and with availability nothing happened... BUT the big news will come out this week hopefully about the ONE opening in the schedule...... IT WILL BE A SHOCK TO SOME BUT NOT FOR OLD TIME RUSSELL FANS..............MAN I LOVE THE 80,S........... MUSIC, VIDEOS,,,,, THE BIG HAIR GIRLS AND FOOTBALL. TEASER FOR YA......

It makes me so blue to keep secrets from you, but for now I am sworn to secrecy,,,,,,,, I can not tell anyone right now until I get the release signal to be able to talk about it................. Sorry,, BUT............................. a little bird told me yesterday that Raceland will have to build on to the stadium to seat eveyone for next year..... This is great for them..... Raceland vs Russell next year week 1o.
Maybe Ironton,OH???, I would personally like to see that series started.

You should have hung around and listened. It's amazing what you can learn from talking to the right people.:Thumbs:
I really dont see what they hope to gain from Raceland. The Rams will not be very good next year. If they played each other this year, I think Russell would win by whatever they wanted. I don't really see that Russell has scheduled any tougher next year.

I think Raceland has been wanting this match up for years. We are so close that it will be a big draw from both communities. As for it being a good game, I can't answer that. I really have no idea what Russell will have next year. Although it does seem that we never rebuild we just reload.

Lawrence County and Raceland are still a huge improvement over some of Russell's current district opponents. Plus, Russell now has every area team in KY on their schedule with the exception of Fairview. That's a huge gate draw for a team to play close games.

Thats is true,, the gate will make it a good game........ And yes MIDEE1 we do just reload for the next year. As far as playing other teams, I know that the AD called every school in 200 miles trying to work out schedules, this is what fell into place..... Granted Lawrence Co. and Raceland will be better than 2 old district games, but when Fleming Co. asked to be put into another district, that took out our usuall strongest team.... Now Mason will be the team to beat in our district...........
Syill that third UNSCHEDULED GAME will be a doosey also.... Hope that one works out.
For those who were not sworn to secrecy, let's have some fun and make a prediction. I have not received any information other than this thread. So here is my prediction:
Johnson Central Golden Eagles
The good news for me is I wonât have to wait long to see if I'm right or wrong. The AD will be stopping by my house to pick up his daughter today.

Iwould like to see them play the ironton team of last year that would have been a good game.:ChairHit:

I would too, but I don't think that will happen unless Ironton comes knocking on our door. The reason I say that is because we were the last one to call ('92 or '93), and they left us with the feeling of "your not worthy". We also contacted them recently (the last 2 yrs), not to schedule a game but for something that is common courteousy in high school football. Once again "not interested" and this was something that required no effort or expense on their part.

Replacing Powell and Estill Cos with Lawrence Co and Raceland is an improvement. I'm still not in favor of playing at Raceland but it has been hard to get teams on the schedule. The super secret third game is a DOOSEY if it can be worked out. It alone will make the schedule much tougher.

Not Fairview. Not Wheelersburg (although I would like to see that one). and Not the WV schools.
If we keep this up it should be figured out about gametime next year.
hh:
I'm starting to t hink it's further away from home. Maybe a former 2A team. Possibly a Lexington Catholic or Boyle County.
Do I have the state right?
