Since the blow-out that Russell had at Ashland in the 3rd week Russell has played outstanding football in the last 9 weeks after going 0-3 to start the season. Russell has went 8-1 and the only loss was 14-7 at Raceland and that game could have went either way. The big improvement at Russell has been how well the Defense has came on the last 8 weeks. It was 23-7 at the start of the 4th quarter tonight and Waggener made a couple of big plays in 4th quarter but over all Russell played outstanding tonight. It will be extremely tough playing Central next week but one plus is getting to play at Home. As strong as Central is this year I don't know if Home Field will help next week. If we can get Landon Duvall back next week and Coach said he could have tonight but wanted one more week of rest and rehab. If he gets back and if our Defense can show up and stop the running game of Central it could be a close game at Russell next Friday night.
