[FBALL]

FBALL isn't Raceland a better game than Greenup and Boyd? I understand what your saying about rivary games but year in and year out those Ohio teams will help Russell achieve their goal were the other two will not.

With the weak district Russell is forced to play in they need all the hard games they can get. Rivalries are great and all but state championships are much sweeter.

Raceland will beat Russell about 2 out of every 10 years. Then that is all we will hear about.

Raceland is the little brother that drives you nuts. It means everything in the world to them to beat Russell just once. Russell on the hand for the most part could care less about Raceland except for all the crying that they do. I would have rather have never played them at all. Can't stand most of their fans even though I do have friends from Raceland. I say drop them after this year no matter what.

It would be nice to play Portsmouth again. As well as Wheelersburg. Just can't see taking Greenup and Boyd off. That is the neighborhood rivals who should always be played and they will not always be down.

Russell gets Ironton back next year. Ashland should be really good next year as well. Mason will usually be a good team. Boyd and Greenup are up and down but usually competitive. Throw in Raceland or Portsmouth or Wheelersburg or Wayne WV or Cabel Midland or Spring Valley. That is plenty of tough games for one season.
