Unofficial total yardage tells the story in this one. Russell using the run and some passing totals 357 yards, while Rowen County ran a total of 26 plays, with 24 being runs had a total of 19 yards.
I believe this is one of those games where the score does not show how far apart these two programs are, at this point in time. I also think most expected this one to be very much like it turned out to be, but I do not think many thought it would be as it was.
Just :17 into this one Russell gave the ball to one of their stud backs #4, who used some nice blocking to power for a seven yard gain.
Was a little quiet up until the 5:52 mark of the quarter, that is when #7 for Rowen County broke up a pass to force a punt.
With 4:24 left in the quarter #4 for Russell got to #24 for a four yard loss and force a punt by Rowen County.
A bad snap led to Russell's QB being sacked by #34, with 3:17 showing on a rapidly moving clock.
With 2:37 left in the quarter another bad snap by the Russell center resulted with #34 Rowen County scooping the ball up and taking it to the house from forty five yard score. The point after attempt by #35 was no good, leaving this a,6-0 Rowen County lead. Not known at the time but this would be the last really nice thing to go good for Rowen County.
With 2:23 left in the opening stanza, it appeared Russell had tied this one up on a seventy yard run by #4 but a block in the back negated the score.
With 1:49 showing on the clock #11 from Russell took of on a fine twenty one yard run. This youngster throws a nice ball and looked smart enough to know when to run or throw it away. I think by seasons end he will have some nice numbers.
Seven seconds into quarter number two, #38 of the Red Devils sprinted in from seventeen yards out and did so pretty much untouched. Blocking on runs especially downfield was huge for Russell. The point after kick by #6 was unsuccessful leaving this one up at six.
At the 11:24 mark of quarter number two #77 sacked # 2 of Rowen County.
The Rowen County drive ended a few seconds after this and Russell was ready to go back to work.
#30 for Russell with the aid of his offensive line went up the gut of the Rowen County defense and picked up twelve yards.
With the clock showing 8:34 #4 used a nice move and field vision to pick up twelve more yards, on another nice run.
With 5:03 left in the half #4 plowed in from two yards out. #11 hit #38 for a two point conversion to make this a,14-6 game.
At the 4:52 mark of the 2nd quarter Rowen County got their biggest play on offense. A reverse with #49 running the ball picked up twenty six yards as he broke up the near sideline.
With 4:37 left in the half #77 for Russell sacked #2 for a two yard loss.
Another punt would soon follow and the Russell offense was ready to hit the field again.
At the 1:52 mark of the quarter #11 hit #10 for a 18 yard gain and another Russell first down.
There was :11 left in the half when that same combo teamed up again, this time for a seventeen yard score. A two point try was unsuccessful but Russell had a,20-6 lead.
8:49 remained in the game, when #4 sprinted for a forty five yard gain.
Then at the 7:55 mark #11 hooked up with #18 for sixteen yards and another Russell first down.
Russell lit the scoreboard up again, on a eight yard run by #38. After #6 hit the point after Russell led,27-6, with 7:29 left.
