Hey coacher......I know one area team that can say they beat Russell the last 7 times they played them...cough cough. ������ HAHAHAHA

It has actually only been 6 years but still Raceland has had Russell's number the past few years. I agree with your previous post about the level of competition not being as good over the past few years. All of the traditional area powers (Ashland, Ironton, and Russell) have really dropped off over the past 10 years. I remember when those teams played with a chip on their shoulder and kids just don't seem to have a mean spirit on the field which is a key component to being successful in football. The Russell teams from the early to mid 2000's had a killer instinct that seems to be a missing element in their program now.
