Let there be no doubt, that Adair vs Russell is the top rivalry for both teams. There exits a true dislike for the opposing programs of each school. The rivalry and dislike is deep rooted existing and highlighted in the late 1970's with fights and vandalisms that lead to a ban with no sports being played between the schools for several years.
Presently issues ,including but not limited to, the vandalism of Russell county's field and weight building, girlfriends that live in opposing teams counties, transferring of students to opposing schools, proximity and mixing of working parents , among several other issues has this as the circled game on each teams calendar.
Adair, with their 13 or so seniors, feel that they have their best chance in years to relieve their frustrations and get a long awaited victory. Especially sweet would be to do it on Russell County's home field. Adair has let it be known quite openly their expectations to compete and possibly win over a Russell County team that has dominated them for several years.
Russell has heard the rumors, and these boys in no way want to lose or come even close to losing to this Adair team. Coaches on both sides intensely desire this win. The players know each other very well and want no part of being on the losing end. Should be a great game with extra hard physical play and high emotions. Good luck and safety to all the kids but I hope to see a good old fashioned slobber-knocker. WHO ELSE IS IN ON THAT?
