It’s a little deeper then just the lack of talent. Russell has definitely had some great football teams. Then have probably had at least two more f the top five teams to ever come out of this area. With that being said….for years Russell feasted on weak competition. They have always been in a sorry sorry district and have had the opportunity of playing the first couple rounds of the playoffs against subpar teams. When the Rams had to play the Beechwood district in the early 90’s there was no chance of advancing in the playoffs. I disagree with the kids coming to Raceland having anything to do with the fall in f Russell. One or two kids don’t make that big of a difference on a football team.
