The only terrible game Russell had this year was at Ashland losing in a bad way 41-0. They should have won the Ironton game at home 16-7. I know many fans are saying even tonight that the competition for the Red Devils was horrible in last 6 games. I think many of the fans forget after the 41-0 rout to Ashland. Many fans were saying that Russell could lose to West Carter, at Bath County, and at Fleming County after the terrible loss to Ashland. This Russell team has turned it around in the last 6 weeks and the Defense has given up 5 points a game in those 6 games. I also believe when Head Coach TJ Maynard went back to the Red Devils weapon and running the ball more and played Soph. Charlie Jachimczuk at QB more the offense starting to come together in both the running and passing game. We will now see how good this Russell team really is and how much improved this team is when facing Raceland next Friday night. I believe that Raceland will still be the favorite even after there heartbreaking loss to Paintsville at home 6-0. I believe it will be a close and good game between these two rivals next Friday at Raceland.
