[REDDEVILMANIAC127]

Big game for the Devils at the Hank. Russell has to take better care of the football if they hope to take back the district title. The royals seem to be a little down this year but they will be no slouches when they come to Flatwoods next Friday. Dave Buchannon is a great coach and always has the royals ready to play especially against Russell. This is not the Russell though of the last 5 years. The offense, aside from the turnovers, seems to be gaining continuity and a better understanding of coach Maynard's offense. Defense seems to be making strides each week to especially against the pass.

Prediction: The new look Red Devils get a statement win and reclaim the district title for the first time in 7 years. The fans in Flatwoods have been waiting a long time for a statement victory saying that Russell is on it's way back. But it won't be easy Mason gives the Devils all they want.

Devils: 28

Royals: 24
