Fair enough!

I understand exactly where you are and why you feel that way. NCC is just as physical--and a lot bigger and faster.

Either way, I was impressed with Russell. They had a great team this year--and should be better next season. I would love to see them play a few more games against some NKY schools. It would be great for both of them.

That I will agree with. Our district is weak. The main competition is Ashland (non district), Morgan and probably East Carter. I would love to see them play some tougher team. All that can do is make you better.

I'm glad you see that Russell could be better next year. They were not supposed to go anywhere this year with all the seniors that they lost last year.

As far as size goes. I agree that this years team was small but god they were quick to the ball. My son was one of the bigger ones and he was only 6' and 220lbs. They should be bigger up front next year if Hicks (6'~ and 275)steps up and plays to his potential and Harvey (the transfer back from St. X at 6' 5" and 315lbs and will be a sophomore) get PT as well.

I was just so happy to see those boys go up against OC and play the way that they did. After all the talk of our boys going both ways and not being up to the task. It made it all that much sweeter.
