I'm actually impressed with the effort. For Russell to withstand that kind of emotion and intensity by the Mousketeers showed character. The stupid penalties about bit them though.

Anybody that takes Greenup lightly is in for a world of hurt.

I agree on all points. Russell's kids have plenty of grit and determination. They have to clean some things up, though. As you said, the penalties were an issue and the OL needs a little work. All in all, I'll certainly take the result. 1-0 is better than 0-1.

It's nice to have so many capable pass catchers, but I'd like to see one or two of the WR's step up and become "go to" targets for McKee in crucial situations. At some point this season, I'd also like to see what Ryan Stump & Jaeden Layne are made of at the varsity level. They should be great down the road, but can they contribute in a big way this season?

On a side note, Aaron Snyder(who does a great job) keeps implying that Greenup hasn't beaten Russell since '02. This win actually gives Russell a five game winning streak, not thirteen. The Musketeers beat the Red Devils in 2010.
