I was at the game. This was a great one. With all honesty I'll say that Russell SHOULD have been up 35-0 at halftime. In the first half, Russell flat outplayed Belfry in every aspect of the game.

In the 2nd half, Belfry made some adjustments and were able to get the ball moving and force some Russell mistakes that put them right back into the game. What a barn burner.

Yes, Belfry's running game was shut down. For the game Maynard was held to under 90 yards and the entire Belfry team was held to less than 140 yards rushing. Belfry's best play of the game was throwing to big #30 (Chapman?) against the undersized Russell CB after the starting CB was injured early in the 2nd half. Russell adjusted by placing their best player, Kasey Clark, on him and the next play, Clark came up with the game deciding interception.

This was a tale of two halfs but Russell was better in the end. Good luck at State.
