Congrats to the Red Devils, How did the Devils be up only 7 with 2 minutes to go then win 41-20? Must have a very exciting last 2 minutes.

All Devil fans enjoy your win because a defeat is coming your way on the 10th.

Russell stopped Lawrence County inside the 10 yard line on 4th down with 2 minutes to go on an incomplete pass play that could have tied the game. Russell then took 2 plays to score by breaking about a 90 yard run and then punching it in for the TD making it 34-20. Lawrence County proceeded to fumble on their 2nd play from scrimmage and Russell returned it to within their 10 yard line. So then Russell scored again with under a minute to go setting the final margin of victory. To be honest, I was a little surprised Russell didn't just kneel on the ball up 34-20 with less than a minute to go.

As for the defeat coming Russell's way next week...I really hope Lewis County is better than they were last year. I became a Lewis County fan last year when they showed up at Russell with what seemed to be less than 22 players (I forget exactly how many there were but it was the most obvious mismatch from watching the pre-game warmups that I ever seen on a football field). Those guys who played the game for Lewis showed a lot of heart. As I recall, they had a QB and receiver who worked well together. Judging from their results this year, I don't expect this year to be much different, though. I hope they compete, manage to keep the game respectable, and I hope both sides avoid any injuries.
