This is for the district title and based on scores from common opponents it looks to be a toss-up. The game being at Russell could give the Red Devils a slight edge or it may come down to who turns it over. I'll be rooting for my Raiders to get the win. The game should be on MyTown TV.
Should be a dandy. Picking the Red Devils for no other reason than a slight home field advantage.
East Carter has been the team kicking much of us in the leg most of the season, as we've picked against them and they continue to pick up W's.
Here we go again....

East Carter 25
