I'm one of these Ram faithful. Beating the tomcats's and the devils is only area bragging rights. Winning the district and then the regional is what its all about. I for one wouldn't mind giving back all the wins to the tomcats and devils for a couple regional championship. It's great to beat them. And I cherish everyone of them. But to do what Russell did in 2010 is what its all about. I want my kids playing for the regional and state championships.. Nothing less will make me totally happy. I do believe this team has a chance to go deep in the playoffs. And the next few years are looking awesome for the RAMs.
The devils should feel good about what they accomplished in those two years. Those were even down years. Nobody thought the devils would go that far. ... Except maybe the players and coaches!!

You are right on the money. The coaches and parents were the only ones that believed in us that we could do it. Everyone else had written us off from the time we were freshman, when we went winless, saying that we were the worst group athletically in Russell history. I was told repeatedly by several people that we were going to do nothing and that we would have the worst team in Russell football history. That made our whole team strive harder for success to prove people wrong and I feel that we did so. We only had three or four guys who saw a significant amount of time coming back and we had our ups and downs, but coming back against Pike County Central and Sheldon Clark the way that we did, I would never trade that for any other football experience that I have had in my life. It was just simply awesome to come from behind and beat both of those teams, one of which (PCC) recruited a player or multiple players. To beat them in the first round like we did and then beating Sheldon Clark a year after they hammered us and knocked us out of the first round for the first time since 1999, that was special and something I will never forget. I am glad I got to share it with the people I was able to share it with, including my parents, teammates, coaches, and the fans who were behind us for the entire year.
