This is going to be a great game. Either one of these teams could be considered a sleeper pick to win class 3A this year. The only difference I see in this one is that Ashland has more depth. Russell's leading rusher, junior Nathan Conley, is also their leading tackler. Make the game difficult for Conley and you make the game difficult for the Devils. He's a great football player, but it's a lot to ask when you are facing talented fresh legs on the other side of the ball all evening long.
