I believe Russell's D will have fits with Morgan's style of offense in the first half, but I just think there's too much Russell in the second half for the cougars, I think Morgan may not even score until the subs start coming into the ballgame and is too far out of reach. REMEMBER we are DEFENDING THE "R".

Yes we "R". And if anyone gets the opportunity, please comment on how good the "R" looks to a school board member, administration staff or A.D. I don't think anybody would have liked the looks of the first "R" that was painted without maroon paint and thanks to a couple of the boosters who took their case straight to the top and had it changed. The problem with the maroon paint is it is not environmentally friendly and it kills the grass. The repainting of the "R" resulted in not having enough time to paint Ivan McGlone Field in one of the end zones. But the big billboard was on that end of the field so I don't think anyone had a problem figuring out who's field it is now, and has been for the last 31 years.

Kudos go out to all that were involved in getting the stadium ready for the first home game. The facility is something to be proud of. Also if anyone gets the opportunity please thank Mr. Louie Gabbard for his volunteer work laying out the "R" and redoing the championship signs to include the 2005 championship. Most people involved with Russell Football know Louie, but in case you don't, just look for a big guy carrying a big "R" on Friday nights. Louie's price for all of his hard work was the same as always; tell the boys good luck Friday night.................
