No one is disputing Russell’s academic excellence. 5,000 people don’t show up to watch the quiz bowl, though, and there isn’t a message board and numerous social media accounts on varying platforms talking about how the Red Devil academic team didn’t apply the pythagorean theorem in the correct fashion on the final question.

Russell girls soccer and basketball are very good programs. Boyd County girls basketball has had numerous transfers over the past decade. Russell didn’t stop playing them. They got better and beat them. I think all local schools should keep the rivalries alive because those are the games that are fun to watch, fun to play in, and fun to talk about on here.
